Beet & Carrot Stained Grains

Beet & Carrot Stained Grains

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 ...

Rosemary Roasted Roots & Crabapples

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 ...

Buttermilk Porcini Sticky Rice Balls

Buttermilk Porcini Sticky Rice Balls

Here is yet another delicious recipe featuring leftover buttermilk from making butter. My partner and I often use butter for cooking, and at this rate I will have a whole collection of buttermilk recipes. But I'm fine with that, because I love ending up with random ingredients in my kitchen. It encourages me to experiment. (PS if you're dairy-free, ...

Roasted Root Vegetables with Fresh Herbs

Roasted Root Vegetables with Fresh Herbs

I have an extensive collection of dried herbs in my cupboard, but nothing beats fresh herbs in a recipe. For the past couple summers, I've kept an herb pot on my balcony. Winter comes, the plants die. I've never been great with plants (I'm trying! Maybe too hard?) so I just let the winter take them away. In the summer, I start over again. Well this ...

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Eating healthy doesn't have to be expensive. Most health food stores (and other grocery stores) will discount their less-than-fresh produce in order to sell it before it goes bad. Our local health food store has a discount section, and I check it out every time I'm there. Sometimes the produce in that section actually looks pretty good, and will ...

Banana Pear Cinnamon Smoothie

Banana Pear Cinnamon Smoothie

Even though it's winter, I'm all about smoothies in the morning lately. It's been a very mild winter in Edmonton, with only a few cold spells. The temperature has hovered just above or below 0C for most of January and February! I'm not sure what winters in Edmonton are typically like, but I hear they're definitely not like this. I have a feeling ...

Roasted Eggplant Cherry Tomato Soup

Roasted Eggplant Cherry Tomato Soup

This is one of those cleaning-out-the-fridge soups that turned out to be wonderful enough to share! Healthy eating doesn't have to be hard. Once you get comfortable with using plant-based foods, it comes so easy! Stock your kitchen with healthy foods - if you buy healthy things, you'll eat healthy things. So while cleaning out the fridge ...

Raw Pumpkin Spiced Granola

Raw Pumpkin Spiced Granola

There are certain snacks that I always try to keep a supply of on hand. Granola ranks pretty high up on the list, somewhere around crackers and granola bars. Granola makes for a quick and nutritious breakfast. It's great with almond milk and freshly chopped fruit, but on rushed mornings even just a few handfuls will do nicely. Another option on ...

Eggplant & Potato Casserole with Green Lentils

Eggplant & Potato Casserole with Green Lentils

I'd been dreaming about making this dish for awhile. I'm not sure what brought the idea into my head, but it definitely had something to do with the fact that one night I had only eggplants and potatoes left in the fridge. I dreamt up a dish, layered like a casserole or scalloped potatoes, with hearty layers of lentils nestled in-between. I can't ...

Stripetti Squash with Tomato Sauce and Walnut Crumbles

Stripetti Squash with Tomato Sauce and Walnut Crumbles

A few weeks ago I brought home a stripetti squash from the farmers market. I had never heard of a stripetti squash before, which is basically why I bought it. Thanks to Google, I later discovered that the stripetti squash is a cross between a delicata squash and a spaghetti squash. The skin is striped like a delicata, but the flesh separates into ...
