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!…

Seitan and Ale Stew
Seitan has always kind of been this mystical creature of vegetarian cooking for me. I hear about it, I read about it, but I never see it anywhere. This recipe is my pick from the submissions I recieved thanks to Alex from In Vegetables We Trust, andthe result was the best stew I have ever…
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….
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…
Sweet Potato and Peanut Butter Muffins
I often sort my meals out by food group to make sure I get the right amount of foods from each category every day. These muffins are the perfect breakfast for that because they have grain, dairy, vegetables and protein. For the past few years, I’ve been in the bad habit of only making muffins…
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
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…
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…
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…
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…
