It seems like every time I come into my kitchen there is some form of gourd on my counter. This time, it’s butternut squash. I adapted this recipe from How to Eat, changed up a few things and it was perfect! I was surprised at how thick and creamy the soup tasted because there’s absolutely…

Maple-Dijon Pumpkin Salad
This recipe lives up to the yearly pumpkin craze, no doubt. Roasted pumpkin with Cajun spice, maple-dijon vinaigrette, creamy avocado and pumpkin seeds all on a bed of mixed greens. Simple enough to make and goes perfectly as the side for any fall dish. It also just looks nice, so serving this up as an…
Thick Vegetable Rice Soup
Rainy days make for soup binges. They also make for laziness, which is good because this recipe takes under 30 minutes, uses pretty basic ingredients and has tons of flavour and texture. It’s also really healthy, so throw that concept of junky comfort food out the window. This is all you’ll need when it’s looking…
White Eggplant Baba Ganoush
I’ve been a vegetarian since I was 11 years old, and if there’s one thing that can really make a difference in any meal it’s a good dip or spread. You can change up flavours and textures so easily and they are generally easy to make. Baba ganoush is something that I’ve only just recently…
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…
Butternut Squash and Quinoa Stuffed Peppers
If you are a fellow vegetarian, you can sympathize with the pains of smelling turkey around Thanksgiving. First BBQ season, now this?! Torture. So my goal is to come up with recipes that will make up for the lack of post-turkey napping. This particular recipe is my mom’s and she doesn’t eat any gluten, so…
Avocado Egg Cups
Breakfast! If you are feeling up to something a little unconventional for breakfast and want a bunch of protein, try this out. Eggs baked into avocados with cheese, sesame, salsa and spices. Be warned: the avocado takes on a smoky flavour after it’s done being cooked, so if that isn’t your thing I don’t recommend…
Autumn Borscht (Beet Soup)
Ok well first of all, I realize my description of this blog is “Adventures of a music, food and photography lover” yet I have not mentioned music ONCE! So without further ado, this week’s musical obsession is electro-swing. I was listening to a playlist on 8 Tracks called Electro Swing #2 and it has pretty…
Thick Miso Stew
Any fellow vegetarian will be able to sympathize with the ever-annoying “Is there meat in this or not?” debate when eating out. Especially with fish. Can I just say that I truly do not understand why people don’t consider fish an animal? People, it’s got a face. One thing I’ve always struggled to find a…
Mug Brownies
For my first recipe I chose one that’s quick, easy and chocolatey: mug brownies. They literally take two minutes and turned out great. This recipe is especially good if you don’t feel like making an entire batch of cupcakes; this recipe serves one person only and that person is you. My recipe is inspired from…
