One of the things I love about going to Maui is the familiarity and feeling of home. I’ve been spoiled and have grown up travelling there…a lot (thank you gramma and gramps for smart investing!) and we have our own routine…or traditions when we’re there. One of our traditions is our Maui breakfast. Fresh fruit, cottage cheese, toast and maybeee a mimosa or two. Buttttt … Continue reading Citrusy Curry Tofu (Vegan)
I spent last week in snowy Kelowna with my family, and it was perfect! As per norm, it was full of snowboarding, games, wine, martinis and delicious, comforting vegan food (and a few bites of cheese 😉 ). One of my favourite parts about our Kelowna trips is spending time in the kitchen with Gord and making awesome vegan food with him (see, you got … Continue reading Vegan Cottage Pie
Thai curry is one of my favourites. It’s definitely an ingredient that I keep in my fridge at all times. It’s spicy, easy to cook with and straight up delicious. I could easily eat it every day and still love it. Even when I’m sick and I want soup, I love that I can still have my Thai food fix! Red curry is made from … Continue reading Thai Red Curry Soup
TODAY ON WILL IT SKILLET? – EGGPLANT BANH MI’S. Yes, I used my cast iron to cook the eggplant for these Banh Mi’s…because why wouldn’t I? The cast iron gives it a nice, crisp, brown edge but you can obviously use whatever pan you have. Orrr even better if you have a grill it would be amazing grilled! Now I’m not totally confident what kind … Continue reading Eggplant Banh Mi (Vegan)
Since I bought that cast iron skillet, my kitchen time has felt like I’m making episodes of”WILL IT SKILLET?” So we’re gonna roll with that! Spoiler alert the answer will probably always be yes! We already know that a Dutch Baby will Skillet! Today on…WILL IT SKILLET? Mac n Cheese! Last week I had really fantastic Mac n Cheese at this really cute comfort food … Continue reading Mac n Cheese
This could be the late twenties talking, but there is nothing I love more than a cozy night. As much as I cannot wait for snowboarding, there is something nice about having that in-betweenish period where it gets dark at 5 and it’s socially acceptable to live under your couch blanket. And the cold, wet, and dark weather is great because it gives you the … Continue reading French Onion Soup
While I love a hearty, thick and spicy tomato based sauce or bolognese that’s been simmering for hours, you can’t always swing that kind of time during the week, and sometimes you just want something a bit lighter and quicker. In swoops this clear sauce consisting of olive oil, white wine, pasta water and lemon juice with all your delicious add-ins. I actually really love … Continue reading Pea & Chorizo Pasta
In general, I’m not really into eggs with the “egg”ception of a fried egg once in a while on holiday’s, or a benny…but sometimes I do just get a really harsh craving for egg. I do like those little mini quiche – you know the ones in pie crust? I think maybe I just love pie crust. After a long weekend away, I didn’t want … Continue reading Crustless Veggie Quiche
Hey everyone! I haven’t posted in over a month!! It’s been a super busy summer spending time away with loved ones and preparing for my parents big anniversary party that I’m organizing and hosting…so needless to say I have my hands full! I’m sure none of you actually care about that though because you’re here for one reason and one reason only – these wicked … Continue reading Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos & Avocado Crema (Vegan)
I’m the proud owner of a Costco size bag of quinoa. I wouldn’t say I “needed” it, but it was right there in front of me and everything at Costco is so tempting (i.e. the massive blocks of cheese). Not to mention a little box of quinoa isn’t always cheap, so it was a pretty good deal…and quinoa is dellisssh. This bake is pretty great … Continue reading Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli Quinoa Bake
