The more I try to eat with the seasons, the more sense it makes and the more I enjoy it. Spring is the time for fresh greens and young shoots, whereas fall meals should be hearty with warm roasted squash, potatoes, and winter greens like kale. In keeping with the seasons, I avoid drinking cold drinks in the winter. But I do enjoy starting my work ...
Spicy Pad Thai Kale Chips
Currently we're on a cleaning-out-the-cupboard-and-fridge spree and therefore not creating anything super fantastic in the kitchen, so today I'm actually sharing a recipe I made last fall. Though we haven't made kale chips in a good while, I've always loved experimenting with different flavours and rarely make the same recipe twice. For this ...
Lacto-Fermented Curried Rainbow Carrots
This time of year always promises the tastiest root vegetables. After the first couple frosts, starchy vegetables like carrots and parsnips convert their starches into sugars, resulting in the sweetest roots you've eaten all year. At least this gives us something to look forward to as the days get longer and the nights get colder! If you're ...
Rosemary Roasted Roots & Crabapples
Two weeks of missed farmers markets + trying to clear out our cupboards and fridge = some very interesting meals. My motto this past week has been "You always have more food than you think you do". We have very little in the way of fresh produce, but more than enough grains, lentils, dried fruit, nuts & seeds, fermented vegetables, and ...
Lacto-Fermented Garlic Dill Pickles
'Tis the season for preserving food. But to be honest, we're not doing that much fermenting this fall because we still have SO MANY jars of fermented vegetables from last summer! We wasted absolutely no time in munching through our favourites (pickles, sauerkraut, and kimchi) and ran out of these quite early, so despite the full fridge I couldn't ...
Dino Kale & Green Bean Pumpkin Mash
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and I'm definitely looking forward to flying back to Ontario for the get-together. Not the flying part, but the get-together part. My partner's family traditionally gathers at their cottage in Quebec for Thanksgiving dinner, and this year my family (who live near Toronto) will be joining us as well. It'll be ...
How to Grow Your Own Sprouts at Home!
One thing people often ask me is how they can effectively increase their nutrient intake. Focusing on a nutrient-dense, primarily plant-based diet and taking a high-quality multivitamin is always a great start, but something I often encourage people to do is grow their own sprouts at home. Sprouting is a cheap, easy, and fun way to have nutritious ...
Chocolate Almond Butter Raspberry Cups
I'm so happy to be back! It took longer than anticipated, but my new website is finally up and running. Have a look around and check it out! What do you think? In between building a website, working, and summer fun, I also spent some time working on new recipes to share with you. Today I'm sharing my decadent version of chocolate peanut ...
Wild Garlic Mustard & Basil Pesto
Even in the middle of a city, wild edible food is often growing right in our own backyards. Occasionally I accompany my partner on one of his runs through Edmonton's River Valley, him on foot and me on my bike. My eye naturally and constantly scans the forest, I don't know what I'm looking for but I often see it. Insects, birds, plants, animals; I ...
Lacto-Fermented Asparagus Spears – Three Ways
Asparagus season in Edmonton is sadly over, but I just couldn't resist sharing one last asparagus recipe with you. The season is generally shorter in this part of Canada, but if you act quickly you may be able to find asparagus for another week or two depending on where you live. If you can get your hands on the last of the harvest, preserving the ...
