Caramel corn is the ultimate sweet and salty snack. Coated with brown sugar syrup and tossed with pecans and almonds, you can’t go wrong. When I was a kid, my friend’s mom would make this caramel corn for us whenever she would come to our cottage. It is the best recipe I have ever tasted,…

Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Pancakes
In honour of celebrating Pancake Tuesday, I decided to make some sweet potato pancakes with onion and a pretty big kick of spice (you can adjust it if you want it to be mild). They’re packed with protein, easy to make and you’ll definitely want seconds. These pancakes are basically a twist on traditional potato…
Quinoa Pizza Balls
A big complaint from people who are gluten-free is that doughs made without wheat flour are “grainy” and don’t taste authentic. This means no pizza, bread and all those other wonderful doughy foods. For this recipe, instead of subbing out wheat flour for another kind, I just skipped the dough completely. Quinoa and beans are…
Pan-Fried Spicy Szechuan Vegan Shrimp
Mock seafood. It can’t actually be like real seafood, can it? Yes. Yes it can. I am actually still in awe over how cool this vegan shrimp is. I’m not sure if there are other brands, but this one is Sophie’s Kitchen. I saw it at a health food store last week and thought I’d…
Smoky Tempeh ‘Bacon’
I’ve been a vegetarian for a long time now, but even when I did eat meat as a kid, I never really loved bacon. But even so, every time my family eats bacon it looks really appetizing, even though I already know how it tastes. I also can’t watch Epic Meal Time without getting a…
Gluten-Free Banana, Walnut and Raspberry Yogurt Mini Muffins
A lot of people struggle in the morning with eating breakfast, let alone packing a proper lunch. Mini-muffins are perfect for people who don’t have a big appetite in the morning, or who don’t have a lot of time. You can store them during the week for when you’re in a rush, and they’re gluten-free!…
Sweet Potato and Orange Zest Soup
Sweet potatoes can be one of the best foods out there if you cook them properly. I prefer mine savoury either as fries, in soups or in casseroles. I’m not too big of a fan when people add cinnamon and other sweet spices; it seems sort of unnecessary and gets over-powering very quickly. That being…
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….
Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Mushroom Caps
Let’s talk about bacon. I feel like with the explosion of shows like Epic Meal Time people went into a bacon craze that lasted for years. Bacon toothpaste, lip balm, vodka…you name it. This might have been good news for meat-eaters, but for vegetarians it was hard to find an appetizer at a bar that…
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…
