Homemade popsicles are fun, easy and better than store-bought ones for so many reasons. The generic popsicles you get from the grocery store are alright, but they’re filled with sugar and food colouring and probably not much of anything else. If you go to buy healthier ones, they’ll be double the price. Catch-22. That’s why…

Curried Lentil Cashew Burgers
This is not your average veggie burger. Lentils and cashews give this burger the substance to be protein-packed and filling, while the curry and coriander give a big kick of flavour. I normally don’t bother with a bun when I’m eating burgers at home, but these ones are nice with fresh burger buns, topped with…
Easy Homemade Maple-Mango Granola
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…
Beer-Cheddar Spread
Spreads are perfect for summer because they’re quick and easy. Throw in some beer and you’ve got yourself a good time. I was flipping through an old Vegetarian Times magazine from 2006 when I came across their feature on beer. Since I’ve only ever used booze in stews or soups, I figured trying it out…
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…
Crispy Baked Portobello Mushroom Fries
These fries go against the conventional idea of a “fry” in all the best ways. Mushroom slices coated with panko, cheese and spices and baked until they’re crispy and perfect. Cover anything in panko and I can almost guarantee it will taste good. These are a nice variation from regular fries for a few reasons. For one…
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….
