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…

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…
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…
Creamy Avocado Pesto
If you want a good variation from tomato sauce or store-bought pesto, I’d suggest making this. It’s raw, vegan, gluten-free and fast to make—pretty much a health nut’s dream. I got this recipe from a food blog called Oh She Glows, and it turned out great. It’s simple but packs a lot of flavour, and…
Apple, Goat Cheese and Spinach Salad with White Balsamic and Avocado Dressing
Before you say, “Oh great, another salad” just hear me out. What makes this salad unique is the mix up of different flavour groups. You’ve got apple, which is sweet and has a crunch–then you have goat cheese to balance is out which is soft and savoury. This salad is super fast, easy and yummy….
Double Baked Spaghetti Squash
Spaghetti squash is the ultimate gluten-free substitute for any wheat-based pastas. Unlike regular squash like acorn or butternut where you would just cube it or slice it, spaghetti squash pulls apart into thin edible “threads” which is where it gets its name. It’s easy to roast, doesn’t need lots of seasoning and reheats well if…
Baked Eggs in Tomato Cups
Rushed mornings should not mean no breakfast. You can prep this recipe in 2 minutes the night before (literally) so everything will be ready to go in the morning. Bake the cups while you’re doing your daily morning routine so by the time you’re ready to leave you can eat this and go. This recipe…
Nutella Hot Chocolate
After trying this, you’ll never go back to powdered hot chocolate mix again. Canada is known for having it’s fair share of snow, but this last snowfall was the biggest I’ve seen in years! So after being out in the cold I whipped up two cups of this super-rich homemade hot chocolate and it hit…
Kale Chips
Kale chips are the easiest snack to make if you’re looking for something light and healthy. They barely need any seasoning, and even if you’re not a huge fan of raw or steamed kale the crunchiness makes their flavour a little less bold. Not only that, but these are a great source of iron too….
Shakshuka (Poached Eggs in Vegetables)
This breakfast takes a little bit of extra time in the morning, but is completely worth it. Tomatoes and veggies with eggs cracked in the mix makes for a flavour-packed and gluten-free Israeli dish. I adapted this recipe from a Vegetarian Times issue that I received a few months back. It looks awesome and tastes…
