Potatoes, cut into wedges, soaked in garlic oil, sprinkled with spices and baked. Simple as that. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, these bite-sized potato wedges are a great finger food. They can be served with basically any dip you want, and they can be easily reheated. They’re also super cheap and…

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,…
Vegan Guacamole, Broccoli and Alfalfa Sprouts Wrap
Buying lunch is one of the biggest money draining activities there is. Take 10 minutes the night before (or morning of, if you’re one of those crazy morning people) and save yourself the money. It’s also way more customizable for portions and taste, not to mention it’s nutritional benefits. This wrap is packed to the…
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…
Ginger, Citrus and Blueberry Popsicles
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…
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…
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….
