Mozzarella Sticks
A lot of people have the notion that vegetarians always eat healthy. WRONG. We like greasy bar food just as much as the next person. I’m doing a double-shot of fried food posts because a few friends and I decided to get together for lunch and experiment frying different foods. I got this recipe from…
Avocado Fries
These are going to be the next big thing. I mean it. A few years ago sweet potato fries exploded, and now you see them on bar menus everywhere. Next, it’s going to be these avocado fries. Crunchy on the outside, creamy on the inside. Since you cut the avocado shortly before coating and frying…
Vegan Green Thai Curry
A little while ago now I was browsing around on Urbanspoon at the top rated Toronto restaurants for under $10. This restaurant came up called Salad King–a funny name for a restaurant that only serves two salads, but my god, it is so good. It also got me addicted to thai curry. Since Salad King…
Homemade Soft Pretzels
Soft pretzels are one of those things that you just don’t see out on the street that much anymore. And if you do, those pretzels have probably been sitting there for a while. I made these pretzels back in the summer and they were a big, big hit. You can eat them on their own,…

It’s super healthy, packed with veggies and is flexible to your personal taste and spice tolerance. I looked all around…
Refried Black Beans in Burritos
I am a big fan of refried beans, but when I read the nutritional ingredients on the pre-made ones I felt like I was having a heart attack before I even ate it. Crazy amounts of sodium and fat. So I decided to make my own! Mix up these homemade refried beans in layer dips,…
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
It seems like every time I come into my kitchen there is some form of gourd on my counter. This time, it’s butternut squash. I adapted this recipe from How to Eat, changed up a few things and it was perfect! I was surprised at how thick and creamy the soup tasted because there’s absolutely…
Maple-Dijon Pumpkin Salad
This recipe lives up to the yearly pumpkin craze, no doubt. Roasted pumpkin with Cajun spice, maple-dijon vinaigrette, creamy avocado and pumpkin seeds all on a bed of mixed greens. Simple enough to make and goes perfectly as the side for any fall dish. It also just looks nice, so serving this up as an…
