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…
Nutella Hot Chocolate
After trying this, you’ll never go back to powdered hot chocolate mix again. Canada is known for having it’s fair share of snow, but this last snowfall was the biggest I’ve seen in years! So after being out in the cold I whipped up two cups of this super-rich homemade hot chocolate and it hit…
Chocolate-Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies
The best thing about Valentine’s Day is undoubtedly the cookies. I got the cookie recipe from Created by Diane and just altered the choice of toppings. I used crushed hot chili flakes on top of semi-sweet chocolate (I’ve always wanted to try it) and it tastes really good! You can use crushed nuts, candy, sea…
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…
Salted Chocolate Caramel Cookies
Whenever I see chocolate cookie batter out in stores I always drool over it but I’ve never attempted to make it myself. I was surprised at how well this dough turned out on my first try; it’s super easy and my friends and I had a great time making them. I used mini rolos for…
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…
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…
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…
Roasted Beet and Sweet Potato Sliders
I’ve mentioned before in some of my posts that soggy bread is my worst enemy. It’s disgusting. It’s not like I want my sandwich to be bone-dry, I just don’t want a layer of mush surrounding my filling. Here are a few good ways to avoid soggy bread. The most obvious one is toast your…
