I have some big news to share with you all today (If you're on Instagram, you may already know). Things have been very busy here lately. I've been working extra shifts while looking for employment. We've been meeting up with friends for drinks and crossing restaurants off our must-eat list. We've been heading to the mountains basically every chance ...
Leek & Celery Root Cakes
Sweet breakfasts aren't really my thing. Oatmeal is nice once in a while, and smoothies are often my go-to on work days just because they're so easy, but given the opportunity I will always pick a savoury breakfast over a sweet one. So when I woke up hungry on a recent day off, with week-old celery root (aka celeriac) and a lonesome cup of spelt ...
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
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 ...
Smokey Chickpea, Carrot & Swiss Chard Pizza with Homemade Pizza Sauce
I think I need to eat more pizza. We've made it a couple times lately, and it's been fun playing with various toppings and flavours. Pizza is such a great blank slate, you can tailor is as much as you want to your personal preferences. It's not just about tomato sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. There are endless other possibilities to create a ...
Halloween Cupcakes with Orange & Green Natural Dyes
Halloween is my favourite holiday. So when I was gifted a Halloween cupcake kit a few years ago, I promised myself I would make some Halloween cupcakes the next time the occasion rolled around. Fast forward to today, only about 7 years later. What can I say, life gets in the way and Halloween cupcakes have to wait. I finally figured, why wait ...
Parsley Root, Celery & Lentil Soup
It's been a long time since I've made a nice batch of soup! Hot summer weather does not call for hot soups, and so understandably our stash of homemade broth just sat in our freezer neglected all summer long. But now that's it getting a bit colder out, I'm looking forward to start making hearty and warming soups again. The two vegetables I ...
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 ...
