Chickpeas are definitely my favourite legume. I don't know what it is about them. If I had my way, they are the only legume I would ever eat. But eating the same thing all the time definitely isn't ideal, so I force myself to buy different types of legumes and I never let myself make two batches of chickpeas in a row. I make a batch of beans every ...
Shredded Asian Slaw with Almond Ginger Sauce
If you've never tried celery root, also known as celeriac, you are missing out! It tastes similar to celery, but it has a milder, more earthy, and maybe even sweeter flavour. It's a very versatile root that I've written about before; it can be cooked, steamed, mashed, baked, roasted, pureed, or eaten raw. Did I forget anything? I've added raw cubed ...
Tempeh Cabbage Wraps with Sticky Rice
Wraps are just one of those foods that people love. They're quick, they're convenient, they're portable, and they're tasty. Unfortunately though, flour wraps are often heavily processed and devoid of nutrients. I know how hard it can be to give up foods you love, even when you know they just aren't health-supportive. Even still, sometimes the ...
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 ...
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 ...
Lacto-Fermented Mixed Pepper Hot Sauce
My partner and I do a lot of fermenting, but I have yet to share any fermented recipes. So I figured now was the perfect time! I've been wanting to share this recipe for a while, but first I had to wait and make sure it turned out. And, phew, it was even better than I hoped it would be! This hot sauce is (duh) spicy, garlicky, and flavourful. It ...
Meatless Chili with Red Cabbage
I came home from work one night a few weeks ago, and my partner had this super tasty and filling chili waiting for me. It was perfect, because it had been (and still is!) so cold lately. Sometimes you just need something warm and hearty. I hope you enjoy this recipe. My partner is a great cook and has taught me a lot about cooking over the years. ...
