Oh. My. This is good. Tooting my own horn here, but I want everyone to know the deliciousness that is this soup! It’s really for your own good, I don’t want you to miss out! My number one New Years Resolution is to eat more sweet potatoes. I don’t even know why, I think I’ve … [Read more…]

Caramelized Onion and Roasted Mushroom Flatbread

vegan vegetarian caramelized onion roasted mushroom flatbread with garlic cream sauce

Cheese-less pizza? Am I crazy? You’re all probably thinking that I am, and you might be right, but just try this pizza (flatbread?) and you will understand why I had to post the recipe. It’s just as comforting and flavourful as a cheese topped pizza, and I’d happily eat this every pizza night. We don’t actually … [Read more…]

Vegan Caesar Salad with Easy Sprouted Grain Croutons

January 5, 2016 by Diane Leave a Comment
vegan caesar salad with homemade croutons

My in-laws make the best caesar salad dressing…it’s creamy, garlicky, lemony, and just perfect on that crispy romaine. We make it a lot ourselves in the summer and I wanted to try a vegan version that was similar in taste and texture for people who can’t or choose not to eat eggs, dairy, or anchovies. … [Read more…]

pomegranate pear jalapeño pico de gallo

Do you ever blank out for new ideas to bring to a party or girls night? Because I totally do! I usually opt for some sort of dip, because everyone loves a good dip, but sometimes chips and salsa is a tad bit overdone. This recipe is a totally unique spin on your typical pico … [Read more…]

I finally convinced my husband to try Thai food on a visit to Chicago when we were in college. He was pretty skeptical of it, but I knew that for someone who loved sauce SO much, (as in…can I have a side of ranch for my side of ranch) he would love the saucy spiciness … [Read more…]

Naturally Sweetened Pumpkin Dip

Mmmm… peanut butter and pumpkin. What a great combo! My favourite snack of all time is an apple with peanut butter. I have it like…..every day. OK, maybe 5 times a week, but still. Who doesn’t love peanut butter!? I didn’t think my go-to snack could be improved, nor did I want to mess with … [Read more…]

I’m kind of stoked about these muffins. When I was making them I thought they were going to turn out awful.

So, Thanksgiving came and went and now you are ready to un-stuff yourself? But you still have sweet potatoes and brussels sprouts on your mind?! Good, those foods are so good for you!
