Before doing this recipe, I was looking up substitutions for saffron because of the high cost. Some people recommended turmeric and paprika for colour, but nobody had a solid solution for a replicate flavour. I sucked it up and bought saffron, and while it isn’t the highlighted taste in this dish, it definitely adds a…

Vegan Chorizo Sausage Chili with Black Beans
This super-easy chili is packed with protein and vitamins, and doesn’t sacrifice flavour. You can eat it on its own or scoop it up in tortilla chips; either way, you’re going to love it. Imitation meat can be pretty hit and miss. I’ve actually never been a huge fan of Tofurky-brand products but I found…
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.

Naan Pesto Pizza

Autumn Borscht (Beet Soup)
Ok well first of all, I realize my description of this blog is “Adventures of a music, food and photography lover” yet I have not mentioned music ONCE! So without further ado, this week’s musical obsession is electro-swing. I was listening to a playlist on 8 Tracks called Electro Swing #2 and it has pretty…
White Eggplant & Avocado Wraps
At the beginning of the summer I planted a decent veggie garden in my backyard. Having never really successfully ever grown anything I was super excited when everything turned out. And kept turning out. Like a LOT of food. Way more than I had expected, so I needed to find creative ways to make all…
