I’ve never been big on baked lemon desserts…until this little tart came along. Most of the lemon desserts I’ve tried in the past have been made with what I assume is artificial flavouring or a sugar-overload which drowns the lemon taste completely. These tarts have a good balance between the semi-bitter lemon zest, the tanginess…

I'm a vegetarian food blogger who loves to cook, write, take photos, and (most importantly) eat. I'm always trying out as many new recipes as possible while developing some of my own.
Hobbit Hole Cake
My inner geek was pretty satisfied eating a dwelling from a Tolkien novel. I made this cake for a friend’s birthday and I think they were pretty pleased with it. I normally make cupcakes because I’ve never been a big fan of cake myself, but after I was done putting it all together there was…
Mexican Grilled Corn on the Cob
Barbecuing is an under-rated method of cooking for vegetarians. People have this assumption that barbecues are meant only for burgers and hot dogs, but once the creative side of grilling comes out it’s a completely different story. I get it, burgers are great, but a little variation is nice sometimes. I’ve only ever had corn…
Spicy Bok Choy Ramen Noodles with Marinated Asian Tofu
Ramen is a pretty basic dish on its own (not that there’s anything wrong with that). It’s perfect for late-night snacking and lunchtime noodling, but truth be told it can get boring on its own. Pack it full of veggies and spice and it’s a whole other story. Six cups of bok choy may seem…
Baked Macaroni and Cheese with Panko
Mac and cheese is the ultimate comfort food. And even though the packaged stuff is good once in a while, it loses its charm pretty quickly. Why is the powder so orange, and why do the noodles get gross after 10 minutes? Unanswered questions. This mac and cheese still serves as a great comfort food,…
Guacamole Grilled Cheese
I can eat grilled cheese all day long. I’m also frequently craving guacamole. Stick those two together and I’m going into a food coma. I like my cheese to be as melted as possible in my sandwich, so I normally take a lid from a large pot and place it over top of the skillet….
Ginger, Citrus and Blueberry Popsicles
Homemade popsicles are fun, easy and better than store-bought ones for so many reasons. The generic popsicles you get from the grocery store are alright, but they’re filled with sugar and food colouring and probably not much of anything else. If you go to buy healthier ones, they’ll be double the price. Catch-22. That’s why…
Curried Lentil Cashew Burgers
This is not your average veggie burger. Lentils and cashews give this burger the substance to be protein-packed and filling, while the curry and coriander give a big kick of flavour. I normally don’t bother with a bun when I’m eating burgers at home, but these ones are nice with fresh burger buns, topped with…
Easy Homemade Maple-Mango Granola
I’ve been wanting to make granola for a while because it’s one of the best breakfast foods. Easy to make, lasts a long time, very flexible with ingredients, and mixes well with yogurt. This recipe is from Judy Krizmanic’s “The Teen’s Vegetarian Cookbook” which outlines some simple and inexpensive meals. This was the first cookbook…
Bluth Frozen Chocolate Bananas
There’s always money in the banana stand. With the new season of Arrested Development coming out on Netflix, I thought I’d make a treat from the show. The show’s Facebook page posted the basic steps to making a Bluth banana the other day, so I tried it out and loved it. Feel free to get…
