This recipe came about as a result of my anxiety over a whole whack of veggies that were getting a little wilty in the fridge. You know the ones. They were supposed to be the stars of a beautiful, fresh, Instagram worthy salad last week. And then you worked late. And then you said “screw the salad”. And…

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…

If I need to keep hibernating I think I’m gonna lose it. Fortunately, I’ve been able to rely on warm delicious things in bowls…
How to: Recipe Makeover – Mushroom Pho
For years, I’ve had a major crush on Pho. When I first moved to the big smoke, it was one of the first ‘international’ foods that I sampled (along with butter chicken and pad thai. Ya, I’m old). Now it’s so familiar I regularly crave it as comfort food. Making traditional Vietnamese pho is an…
How to: Seasonal Cooking – Mushroom & Pepper Tacos with Quick Pickled Onions
So I’m a little behind on the Cinco de Mayo theme. No one gets sick of tacos though, right? For the record if you answered ‘no, I get sick of tacos’, we can’t be friends. It’s almost as bad as saying ‘I get sick of pizza’, which would make us mortal enemies. So team taco,…
