Since my exams have finished I’ve had lots of time on my hands for the winter break. So I decided to tackle a slow cooker recipe; something I’ve never done before and it was a little scary. When it comes to curry, I’m a little bit picky and there should be lots of thicker sauce,…

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.
Agedashi Tofu
Agedashi tofu is a great little appetizer for parties, or just for a brunch for two. It’s got a tangy and spicy sauce with the crunch of fried tofu and green onions. You can eat this just on its own, or you can serve it with a small bowl of miso soup and an orange…
Peanut Butter S’more Brownies
Love s’mores? Me too. I made these for my friend’s birthday and just cut them up into squares instead of baking a birthday cake. I’m personally not a huge fan of just plain ol’ cake, so these were a major upgrade. These brownies are pretty easy except beware of burning your marshmallows. Kind of like…
Shakshuka (Poached Eggs in Vegetables)
This breakfast takes a little bit of extra time in the morning, but is completely worth it. Tomatoes and veggies with eggs cracked in the mix makes for a flavour-packed and gluten-free Israeli dish. I adapted this recipe from a Vegetarian Times issue that I received a few months back. It looks awesome and tastes…
Sweet and Spicy Ginger Soba Noodles
Do you prefer noodles hot or cold? Soba noodles are good both ways. Toss them with this flavour-packed sauce and you’ve got yourself a pretty sweet meal. I adapted this recipe from Simply Reem and it worked well. I changed around the proportions and added a few more things, but it’s basically the same and…
Cumin and Sesame Chickpea Soup
Last Christmas my aunt bought me the Canadian Living cookbook called ‘The Vegetarian Collection’ and this was one of the first recipes I tried out of it. It’s vegan, gluten-free and easy to make. I only altered a few small things (like adding more sesame oil) and otherwise followed it word-for-word. It works perfectly every…
Mini Calzones (Pizza Pops)
Sauce, cheese and veggies all folded up in dough and baked in your oven…it’s essentially a big ball of homemade pizza. Life is good. Pizza pops are one of my guilty pleasures. I could just demolish a box of those no problem, but they aren’t all too good for you. When you make them yourself,…
Veggie “Burger Bowl” Salad
I’m not a huge fan of eating veggie burgers with buns because it’s too filling and gets soggy…gross. Most of the time I just cook up veggie burgers and eat them with a knife and fork, but it gets a little boring and it doesn’t really feel like a proper meal. Burger bowls are a…
Sweet Potato and Peanut Butter Muffins
I often sort my meals out by food group to make sure I get the right amount of foods from each category every day. These muffins are the perfect breakfast for that because they have grain, dairy, vegetables and protein. For the past few years, I’ve been in the bad habit of only making muffins…
Gluten-Free Nutella and Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies
I am in love with these cookies. Gluten-free baking can be tedious because the dough can dry out and crumble. These cookies are nutella-stuffed, made with brown butter and sea salt, and topped with some more chocolate. Needless to say, these are some pretty awesome gluten-free cookies that don’t dry out and taste amazing. I…
