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,…
Agedashi Tofu
Agedashi tofu is a great little appetizer for parties, or just for a brunch for two. It’s got a tangy and spicy sauce with the crunch of fried tofu and green onions. You can eat this just on its own, or you can serve it with a small bowl of miso soup and an orange…
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…
Cumin and Sesame Chickpea Soup
Last Christmas my aunt bought me the Canadian Living cookbook called ‘The Vegetarian Collection’ and this was one of the first recipes I tried out of it. It’s vegan, gluten-free and easy to make. I only altered a few small things (like adding more sesame oil) and otherwise followed it word-for-word. It works perfectly every…
Veggie “Burger Bowl” Salad
I’m not a huge fan of eating veggie burgers with buns because it’s too filling and gets soggy…gross. Most of the time I just cook up veggie burgers and eat them with a knife and fork, but it gets a little boring and it doesn’t really feel like a proper meal. Burger bowls are a…
Gluten-Free Nutella and Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies
I am in love with these cookies. Gluten-free baking can be tedious because the dough can dry out and crumble. These cookies are nutella-stuffed, made with brown butter and sea salt, and topped with some more chocolate. Needless to say, these are some pretty awesome gluten-free cookies that don’t dry out and taste amazing. I…
Roasted Red Pepper Soup
This soup is perfect for when you’re too lazy to cook anything that takes a lot of time, and you want a healthy meal. Quick and easy roasted red pepper soup; it takes 15 minutes and has tons of flavour and nutrients. I know the list of ingredients looks long for a lazy quick-and-simple soup,…
Vegan Green Thai Curry
A little while ago now I was browsing around on Urbanspoon at the top rated Toronto restaurants for under $10. This restaurant came up called Salad King–a funny name for a restaurant that only serves two salads, but my god, it is so good. It also got me addicted to thai curry. Since Salad King…
Quick Artichoke Hummus
Need an energy boost? Hummus is packed with protein and tastes great. Throw in some artichoke hearts, tahini, olive oil and pickle juice, and you’ve got yourself a meal booster for the rest of the week. Plus, this recipe has no added salt or pepper. And yes, I said pickle juice. Don’t get all grossed…
