Konjac (a.k.a. Konyakku) is a fairly new ingredient to me. A few months back I tried vegan seafood made from konjac powder, but I had no idea how many uses it had. The gluten-free noodles are sold in liquid-packed containers, and have the appearance of “knots.” As for taste, the noodles basically absorb whatever broth…

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.
Creamy Purple-Skinned Potato Salad
Potato salad is really versatile in a few ways. First of all, you can put in almost any type of spices, herbs and veggies and it will still carry a nice flavour. Secondly, potato salad can be eaten on its own or used as a burger topping (which is one of my preferred ways of…
Salt and Vinegar Roasted Chickpeas
Roasted chickpeas are a great snack because they’re high in protein, gluten-free and vegan. As a bonus, this recipe is really low maintenance so you can catch up on some reading, cleaning, binge-watching Netflix, whatever. I originally got this recipe from Oh She Glows but I changed a couple of things. I thought that since…
Frozen Chocolate Banana Bites
Nothing marks the start of warm weather like frozen goodies. Chocolate and banana is a pretty unbeatable combo. You can get creative and use whatever toppings you want. I did half with sprinkles, half with melted peanut butter chips. That way I still had variation, but if I wanted a small sweet snack I could…
Vegan Sloppy Joes
This is the epitome of vegetarian comfort food. It’s quick, easy, and of course, sloppy. This was my first time making/eating any form of sloppy joes. I was generally familiar with what they were, but I’d never had them as a kid and the idea had never really crossed my mind. Luckily, I found the…
Garlic Parmeson Wonton Crackers
Store-bought crackers are way too salty a lot of the time, and I find they end up over-powering the dips I eat them with. The few times I have tried making homemade crackers right from scratch, they’ve always needed tweeking and the texture wasn’t perfect. Wonton crackers are the perfect balance between the two. You…
St. Patrick’s Day Cake Batter Cookies
Cookies on St. Patty’s Day are a must for a few reasons. If you have kids, cookies are a great activity for a holiday to get them interested and let them show their creativity. If you don’t, you’re going to need something to soak up all the beer. Trust me. What better than green cake…
Loaded M&M Oreo Cookie Bars
You know those days where you just need to take a moment to say, “I don’t care about beach bodies, I just want some cookies.” I’ve got your back. These bars are a combination of all great dessert ingredients: Chopped up Oreos inside homemade cookies dough sprinkled with M&Ms. These are really good for parties…
Flourless Peanut Butter Brownies
I don’t know how I managed to get this far without having an 8×8 pan, but I finally bought one. I was always adjusting baking times to bread pans or long casserole dishes—the results were…edible? But not as good as this. The most useful $7 spent in a long time, not doubt. Brownies are easy…
Broccoli, Cheddar and Eggplant Quiche
Quick breakfasts are convenient, but sometimes putting in some extra time is worth it. Quiche is easy, cheap and low-maintenance so you can do the crossword, watch morning cartoons or sit in a morning-zombie state at your kitchen table until it’s done. I know eggplant is not really a traditional addition to quiche, but I…
