I’ve never been so into smoothies as a meal. Sure, as an on-the-go snack or to quench the thirst on a hot day, sign me up. But I feel like in order to truly be satisfied, I need to chew my food, not drink it. Then I see this new hashtag all over instagram –…

How to: Make your own – Cauliflower and Cheese Tots
The harvest is rolling in now, folks. It’s the very best time of year to get fresh everything and I’m feeling overwhelmed with choice! I picked up 2 huge heads of cauliflower last week for $4. Because $4! I made 4 cauliflower and cheese quiches (2 went straight into the freezer) and these little…
How To: Snack Healthy – Vegan Banana Chocolate Muffins
I generally have at least four different nut/seed butters open in my fridge at one time. We’ve got the classic peanut butter, almond butter, my new favourite sunflower butter, and generally one other “special” one – right now it’s a coconut/peanut butter blend. Pretty darn delicious. And it’s not only because of me – my…
How To: Quickie Meal – Spice Roasted Chickpea and Sweet Potato Bowls with Tahini Sauce

How To: Quickie Meal – Lime and Curry Marinated Tofu Stir Fry with Mushrooms, Red Peppers, and Corn
I’m always looking for new ways to jazz up that old block of tofu. We’ve roasted it, we’ve served it cold, we’ve even turned it into a delicious burger. Can you believe we have yet to stir fry it?! I know, crazy town! I think stir-frying has to be the most common method of cooking…
How To: Quickie Meal – Tortellini Salad with Mushrooms, Arugula, and Lemon Dijon Vinaigrette
One of my husband’s favourite foods is cheese tortellini. Second probably to the one and only KD, as I may have mentioned once or twice. I on the other hand, could take or leave tortellini. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good bowl of pasta just as much as the next person. But I…
