Ginger is one of those flavours that I can’t get enough of, and I like it to be strong. Especially since we’re coming up to the winter months, it can be warming, a bit spicy and tastes perfect crammed into a cookie. I adapted this recipe from the November 2013 edition of House & Home…

Shiitake Mushroom and Tofu Potstickers (Dumplings)
I’ve been wanting to make dumplings for a long time now and finally got around to it. Needless to say, this is going to become a regular basis meal. I followed the recipe from The Kitchn pretty closely, would love to try it the same way with different fillings! As she says in the post,…
Curried Red Lentil, Carrot, and Sweet Potato Soup
I love making soup because it’s easy, flexible and keeps well in the fridge. I also find that a lot of soups actually taste better the day after they’re made; giving the flavours time to develop can pay off. You can leave out the heavy cream if you want to make it vegan, I just…
Four-Mushroom Pan Fried Udon Noodle Bowl
Rehydrating foods can be rewarding if you do it right. It’s taken me a few tries to get these mushrooms down, but I’ve finally found a method and dish that work. First thing’s first—don’t be thrown off by the initial smell of the dried mushrooms. There’s something a little “sweet” about them that isn’t appetizing,…
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…
Rice Paper Salad Rolls
Rice paper is truly a unique ingredient. When soaked in hot water, it becomes clear and flexible allowing you to make transparent wraps. The other great thing about having see-through rolls is that you don’t have to bake it, so you can pack them full of raw veggies. They look colourful and go well with…
Gluten-Free Gingerbread Cookies
Although making a gingerbread house from a kit is fun, eating it never tastes that good. The gingerbread has been in the box for a while and lacks flavour. The icing is basically hard sugar. Sure, it looks pretty, but I don’t want to eat it. So that being said, homemade gingerbread is a thousand…
Slow Cooker Eggplant, Potato and Mushroom Curry
Since my exams have finished I’ve had lots of time on my hands for the winter break. So I decided to tackle a slow cooker recipe; something I’ve never done before and it was a little scary. When it comes to curry, I’m a little bit picky and there should be lots of thicker sauce,…
Sweet and Spicy Ginger Soba Noodles
Do you prefer noodles hot or cold? Soba noodles are good both ways. Toss them with this flavour-packed sauce and you’ve got yourself a pretty sweet meal. I adapted this recipe from Simply Reem and it worked well. I changed around the proportions and added a few more things, but it’s basically the same and…
Salad in a Jar
I brought one of these stacked up salads to school today and let me tell you, it got quite a few comments. The recipes are all flexible and the salad stays fresh for days in your fridge so you don’t have to scramble for lunches in the morning. I saw this idea from both The Daily…
