Noodles and cheese. Sometimes it just can’t be beat. Smother it in a slow simmered colourful vegetable sauce and you’ve got yourself a meal. I made this for dinner, ate 2 pieces (I want to call them slices but it doesn’t seem right) and had another one the next morning for breakfast. I was pleasantly…

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.
Cream Cheese, Orange Liqueur and Almond Stuffed Apricots
Back with another boozy recipe just in time for the holidays. I made these for a wedding a few weeks ago and they worked perfectly as a vegetarian and gluten-free finger food. I’ve heard plenty of reasons over the past couple of years as to why people have made the switch to gluten-free, but none…
Classic Restaurant-Style Burritos (a.k.a. the Best Damn Burritos You’ll Ever Make at Home)
Looking at the post below, I’m sure the long list of ingredients/lengthy-looking instructions may be off-putting when you can just grab a burrito for $7 elsewhere. It’s really not as difficult as it may appear (I promise) and once you’ve got a knack for making homemade burritos you’ll never want to stop. I put down…

Apple Butter Gingerbread Loaf
Apple butter is pretty new to me. I’ve known about it for a long time but the idea of spreading it on toast just didn’t seem overly appealing for whatever reason. Not until I took a stop at The Big Apple did I realize how amazing it is in baked goods. Stupid as it may…
Homemade Nutella
Nutella is one of those magical foods that makes everything amazing. Waffles, cookies, icing, peanut butter sandwiches, spoons…it’s all up to your imagination really. I was dreading removing the skins from the hazelnuts because it seemed like kind of a tedious task, but once you roast them, they come off very easily. This process takes…
French Toast Smoothie
Eating a meal in my household that everyone enjoys can be tricky. We’ve got one vegetarian, one gluten-free mom and a lactose-intolerant brother. This smoothie is quick, easy, vegan and can be widely enjoyed by anyone with a sweet tooth. It’s also a nice grain-free treat for people who can’t enjoy traditional french toast. This…
White Bean, Okra and Buttercup Squash Stew
Cold weather always makes me want to sit inside with comfort food and go into a Netflix coma. Only problem is, when you live in a place where it’s cold a big portion of the year, you may form a permanent “winter layer”—not so desirable. This stew gives the best of both worlds by being…
Buffalo Blue Cheese Cauliflower
Want a late night snack that won’t give you post-greasy food itis? Here it is. I made this not realizing how potent the taste of two hot sauces and strong blue cheese are, and decided to split it between two people. While it tasted delicious it was really strong and the spice built up after…
Gluten-Free Red Velvet Cookies with Peanut Butter Chips
This was my first attempt at red velvet anything and I went into it with a blank slate. I honestly had no idea what made something “red velvet” and how it differentiated from any other colourful cookies. Here’s the long and the short of it: it’s not very different at all. Essentially, red velvet is…
