It’s adorable that chickpeas look like little butts. They’re cute, tasty, versatile and healthy! I mean chickpeas do it all. Hummus isn’t the only chickpea snack – these crispy chickpeas are delicious and easy – perfect for your snacking needs! I used to love eating roasted chickpeas as a snack at work. One of my favourite seasonings for them was curry powder! They were so … Continue reading Crispy Chickpeas (Vegan)
One thing that I’ve learned over the past year is how to not waste as much food. I’ve learned how to be creative with leftovers and scraps to make sure that I’m making the best use out of what I have on hand. It sounds silly that I’m only coming to this realization recently, right? But pre-pandemic I would just go to the store for … Continue reading Arancini (Air Fryer) w/ Roasted Tomato and Pepper Marinara
MeeT on Main makes killer vegan food. One of the best dishes there is the Oyster Mushroom Calamari. They’re definitely onto something because oyster mushrooms have a chewy, meaty texture that almost perfectly replicates the real thing. I’ve wanted to try my own vegan calamari for some time now, not only because it’s absolutely delicious, but I had told my uncle Gord about it a … Continue reading Oyster Mushroom “Calamari” (vegan)
Hummus never disappoints me. Whether I’m using it as a dip with pita, spreading it on a bagel before snowboarding, spooning it next to Mediterranean goodies, eating it for lunch or even as a camping dinner overlooking the ocean with a warm beer and a bag of veggies (and amazing company!)- there are no doubts about it, hummus will make me happy. With a simple … Continue reading Sun Dried Tomato & Basil Hummus (Vegan)
I love when I can combine my two favourite things – cheese and bread. As you may remember from my Brie in Pastry recipe, I absolutely love baked brie. There’s something about the ooey-gooeyness of it that honestly just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. This though, this is the ULTIMATE baked brie. It’s baked inside bread. INSIDE A LOAF OF BREAD, GUYS. It’s … Continue reading Brie Bread Bowl
During our last Costco adventure, I bought a massive tub of Ricotta for a lasagna I was making. I ended up using very little of it, and I HATE wasting cheese, that’s just such a tragedy. My mom and her friends (my “aunts”) had their “knitting night”…and I use the term knitting night LOOSELY …at my apartment last night so I had the perfect opportunity … Continue reading Baked Rosemary Ricotta Dip
In a brave effort to host eight people for Sunday dinner at my apartment I tried to keep things as easy and make ahead as possible. With the oven full (and not to mention my apartment is 3 million degrees…with the fan on), there was no room or desire to make a hot appetizer. I’m so glad you’re here because the tapenade is good. I … Continue reading Olive Tapenade (Vegan)
I know I haven’t posted in a while…I’m sorry all my faithful followers! It’s been crazy lately. I was away on a family ski trip, I was sick, and I’m moving next weekend…so needless to say I have my hands full! My kitchen has been totally packed up ready for the move, so I don’t even have a fork or knife, but thankfully I have … Continue reading Olive di Casino Royale (Fried Olives – Vegan)
So I promise I’m not trying to channel Dwight with another beet recipe. It’s just that I was never taught how to grocery shop for 1 or 2 people. I grew up watching my mom grocery shop as if 30 people might randomly show up at the house expecting a 3 course meal at any given time. Ahh Italians. I’m still learning the whole “Dani, … Continue reading Beet Hummus
Y’all know I lovveee lemon. So naturally when I make Tzatziki it’s going to be full of lemony love and LOTS of dill. This is honestly one of my favourite dips/condiments, it’s so creamy and refreshing. I think it’s delicious on everything. I also like to think it’s healthy because it has cucumber and lemon in it. When you think of it like that you … Continue reading Tzatziki
