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…

White Chocolate Snickerdoodle Cookies

Searching for your next soft and chewy cookie to make? This it it. Part way through the recipe, I switched from eletric beaters to a rubber spatula as not to overmix the flour. It gave me great results and I strongly recommend you all do the same, whether it’s with a rubber spatula, wooden spoon,…

Vegan Medjool Date, Almond and Coconut Health Bars

Medjool dates are my new experimental ingredient to work with. They’re great for binding ingredients, high in natural sugars so no additional ones are needed, and taste like a dessert. My initial attempt was to make Homemade Clif Bars but that didn’t quite work out as planned—I think I should have added in a couple…

Salted Almond Butter Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies

These flourless cookies take under 30 minutes to make, use healthy ingredients and are so chewy you’ll have to hide them before you eat the whole batch. A mix of almond butter, coconut, dark chocolate, honey, walnuts—not to mention sea salt on top. This recipe is one of my new gluten-free favourites that I adapted…

Basic Bread Crust Croutons

Have leftover crusts from another recipe? Turn them into a crunchy garnish in less than 20 minutes. I made these croutons with the intention of using them as a topping for soups and salads but ended up eating them as a snack instead…and they went fast. The great thing about this recipe is that you…

Big Soft Moose Cookies

Searching for a chewy and delicious holiday cookie? Look no further. This recipe is from my friends Mattea and Chrissy, who gave me the cookie mix in a mason jar with directions attached to the side as a gift. I love it! Such a fun gift and the result is yummy cookies. I love holiday…

Sriracha Baked Eggs in Muffin Tins

Baked eggs are a lazy chef’s dream. Seriously low-maintenance, minimal prep time, and easy to re-heat as leftovers. The scrambled egg cups are really simple and puff up, resulting in a soufflé-looking dish. The salami cups are still very easy, but the egg does pour a little bit past the “deli” slice, so just be…

Stovetop Macaroni and Cheese with Mushrooms and Shallots

Bummed out by the cold weather? Mac n’ cheese solves all problems. I made a Baked Macaroni and Cheese With Panko a while back, but I have to admit the stovetop version is much better. I personally think the cheesier, creamier and thicker, the better. Also, I don’t know if anybody else has run into this…

Easy Vegetable Frittata with Shredded Tofu

I have never had a successful time with cast iron skillets and eggs. No matter how much oil or butter I put down, the eggs still always stuck and fell apart. This time, I found the perfect method. The trick is to heat the pan in advance so that it’s really hot before you coat…

Vegan Chorizo Sausage Chili with Black Beans

This super-easy chili is packed with protein and vitamins, and doesn’t sacrifice flavour. You can eat it on its own or scoop it up in tortilla chips; either way, you’re going to love it. Imitation meat can be pretty hit and miss. I’ve actually never been a huge fan of Tofurky-brand products but I found…
