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…
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…
Penny’s Potato Soup
I made a pot of this soup thinking I could eat it for lunch for the rest of the week, and it didn’t even make it one day. Everyone in my house kept eating it so I made a second pot the next day. This recipe is from a family friend (hence Penny’s Potato Soup)…
Rosemary and Sea Salt Baked Beet Chips
It’s been raining a lot where I live lately, and I happen to also be studying for exams, so the mix of those two things means eating lots of junky food. Snacking is inevitable. With this in mind, I figured I should probably make a healthier munchie so I’m not eating garbage all the time….
Energy Boost Smoothie
If you’re like me, sometimes eating is the last thing I want to do in the morning. When you have to be out the door in a rush or if you’re just hungover, eggs and toast isn’t exactly ideal. That’s why smoothies are the greatest breakfast ever. Kiwi, blueberry, strawberry, orange and peanut butter. Simple,…
Baked Bloomin’ Onion
There are some foods that are nostalgic. People either associate them with a specific person from their child, or maybe an occasion that sticks in their memory. For me, the Bloomin’ Onion is one of those foods. I took a trip to Florida with my family when I was younger, and we went to the…
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…
