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….

Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Mushroom Caps
Let’s talk about bacon. I feel like with the explosion of shows like Epic Meal Time people went into a bacon craze that lasted for years. Bacon toothpaste, lip balm, vodka…you name it. This might have been good news for meat-eaters, but for vegetarians it was hard to find an appetizer at a bar that…
Spicy Winter Vegetable Soup
Over these past few weeks I’ve been reading articles on soup flavour-boosters. I don’t consider salt a good additive because if you’re already using bouillon cubes or pre-made stock, the salt content will be through the roof. The most interesting and surprising tip I’ve found in several articles is to save the rinds of cheese…
Rice Paper Salad Rolls
Rice paper is truly a unique ingredient. When soaked in hot water, it becomes clear and flexible allowing you to make transparent wraps. The other great thing about having see-through rolls is that you don’t have to bake it, so you can pack them full of raw veggies. They look colourful and go well with…
Eggnog French Toast
There is a love/hate relationship going on with eggnog in my mind. I think it has good flavour and everything, but the idea of drinking egg grosses me out slightly. So last night I saw the Iron Chef holiday special, where each chef needed to incorporate eggnog into all of their dishes. One chef made…
Gluten-Free Gingerbread Cookies
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…
Peanut Butter S’more Brownies
Love s’mores? Me too. I made these for my friend’s birthday and just cut them up into squares instead of baking a birthday cake. I’m personally not a huge fan of just plain ol’ cake, so these were a major upgrade. These brownies are pretty easy except beware of burning your marshmallows. Kind of like…
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…
