Do you prefer noodles hot or cold? Soba noodles are good both ways. Toss them with this flavour-packed sauce and you’ve got yourself a pretty sweet meal. I adapted this recipe from Simply Reem and it worked well. I changed around the proportions and added a few more things, but it’s basically the same and…

Cumin and Sesame Chickpea Soup
Last Christmas my aunt bought me the Canadian Living cookbook called ‘The Vegetarian Collection’ and this was one of the first recipes I tried out of it. It’s vegan, gluten-free and easy to make. I only altered a few small things (like adding more sesame oil) and otherwise followed it word-for-word. It works perfectly every…
Roasted Red Pepper Soup
This soup is perfect for when you’re too lazy to cook anything that takes a lot of time, and you want a healthy meal. Quick and easy roasted red pepper soup; it takes 15 minutes and has tons of flavour and nutrients. I know the list of ingredients looks long for a lazy quick-and-simple soup,…
Vegan Green Thai Curry
A little while ago now I was browsing around on Urbanspoon at the top rated Toronto restaurants for under $10. This restaurant came up called Salad King–a funny name for a restaurant that only serves two salads, but my god, it is so good. It also got me addicted to thai curry. Since Salad King…
Quick Artichoke Hummus
Need an energy boost? Hummus is packed with protein and tastes great. Throw in some artichoke hearts, tahini, olive oil and pickle juice, and you’ve got yourself a meal booster for the rest of the week. Plus, this recipe has no added salt or pepper. And yes, I said pickle juice. Don’t get all grossed…
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
It seems like every time I come into my kitchen there is some form of gourd on my counter. This time, it’s butternut squash. I adapted this recipe from How to Eat, changed up a few things and it was perfect! I was surprised at how thick and creamy the soup tasted because there’s absolutely…
Maple-Dijon Pumpkin Salad
This recipe lives up to the yearly pumpkin craze, no doubt. Roasted pumpkin with Cajun spice, maple-dijon vinaigrette, creamy avocado and pumpkin seeds all on a bed of mixed greens. Simple enough to make and goes perfectly as the side for any fall dish. It also just looks nice, so serving this up as an…
Thick Vegetable Rice Soup
Rainy days make for soup binges. They also make for laziness, which is good because this recipe takes under 30 minutes, uses pretty basic ingredients and has tons of flavour and texture. It’s also really healthy, so throw that concept of junky comfort food out the window. This is all you’ll need when it’s looking…
White Eggplant Baba Ganoush
I’ve been a vegetarian since I was 11 years old, and if there’s one thing that can really make a difference in any meal it’s a good dip or spread. You can change up flavours and textures so easily and they are generally easy to make. Baba ganoush is something that I’ve only just recently…
Butternut Squash and Quinoa Stuffed Peppers
If you are a fellow vegetarian, you can sympathize with the pains of smelling turkey around Thanksgiving. First BBQ season, now this?! Torture. So my goal is to come up with recipes that will make up for the lack of post-turkey napping. This particular recipe is my mom’s and she doesn’t eat any gluten, so…
