After making this granola, you’ll be laughing at how much you used to spend on it in stores (in between shoving it in your mouth). You could get really creative with this recipe if you wanted to—I had the urge to add sweetened coconut, dried cranberries and toasted almonds but I wanted to keep it…

Vegan Almond Tofu and Pumpkin Spice Muffins
Pumpkin has to be one of my favourite ingredients for a few reasons. Firstly, the smell of a fresh pumpkin when you cut into it is unbeatable. Second, you can roast the seeds. Third, the actual pumpkin can be roasted, boiled, baked and grilled. Now that fall has started, be prepared for pumpkin overload. You…
Fried Green Tomatoes
Fried green tomatoes are a Southern classic which are gluten-free, easy to make and can be used in a handful of different types of dishes. Just to be clear, green tomatoes aren’t a different kind of tomato from red ones. They’re just unripened tomatoes, which are harder and a bit more sour. When fried, they…
Shiitake, Yucca, and Tofu Fried Rice Paper Rolls
Yucca root (or yellow yam) is a strange ingredient. It’s got some properties of a potato, some of a squash, and it looks a little freaky. It’s got a rough brown exterior and it’s covered in wax, which is to preserve the moisture in the vegetable. Once all that nasty outside skin is cut off,…
Savoury French Toast Breakfast Sandwich
Let’s talk for a second about hangovers. I had a really nasty one this past weekend, and as many of you may know, your appetite can either be non-existent or rampant. I tend to get much pickier and want something that will fuel me more than plain toast. Enter french toast, a great eggy bread…
Greek Scrambled Eggs with Feta, Tomato and Dill
For any of you who have grown your own veggies, you know that there’s no comparison to store-bought. Yesterday I came home to ripe tomatoes on the vine and red onions…they taste nothing like ones from grocery stores. They smell better, taste better and it’s nice to know you’re eating something that came from your…
Four-Mushroom Pan Fried Udon Noodle Bowl
Rehydrating foods can be rewarding if you do it right. It’s taken me a few tries to get these mushrooms down, but I’ve finally found a method and dish that work. First thing’s first—don’t be thrown off by the initial smell of the dried mushrooms. There’s something a little “sweet” about them that isn’t appetizing,…
Peanut Butter Cups
Peanut butter cups are a simple, well-loved treat that are fun to make. They’re easy, cheap, addictive and you don’t need an oven. I’m in. My friend brought these up to my cottage earlier this summer, and needless to say they were devoured. I’ve always been a fan of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups but I…
Sweet Potato, Black Bean and Quinoa Chili
This week was one of those “let’s see what’s in my kitchen and throw something together” kind of weeks. Luckily I had lots of scraps around and only had to run out for toppings, which made for a colourful, gluten-free, vegan and healthy chili. I feel like a lot of people see chili as a…
Baked Cinnamon Apple Chips
Apple chips are a versatile food in the sense that they can be a little chewy or a little crunchy depending on how you slice them. They can also be thrown into salads, soups, sandwiches and cereals. I got this recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction and they turned out really well. The first apple was…
