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…
Orange, Cheddar and Pine Nut Asian Salad with Sesame
This recipe is the photo that has been the banner of my blog from day one. It’s light, colourful and packs a mix of flavours that aren’t commonly seen together. I’m heading up to the cottage for May 24 weekend, and this is the type of thing that’s perfect up there along with a veggie…
Healthy Blueberry Breakfast Muffins
I’ve recently come to the conclusion that fast-food muffins are basically cupcakes. I know it’s not shocking, but when I ordered a muffin from my school’s coffee shop and it came topped with chocolate drizzle and powdered sugar, I couldn’t bring myself to call it a muffin. Besides being over-sweet, store bought muffins can be…
Beer-Cheddar Spread
Spreads are perfect for summer because they’re quick and easy. Throw in some beer and you’ve got yourself a good time. I was flipping through an old Vegetarian Times magazine from 2006 when I came across their feature on beer. Since I’ve only ever used booze in stews or soups, I figured trying it out…
