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….

Energy Boost Smoothie
If you’re like me, sometimes eating is the last thing I want to do in the morning. When you have to be out the door in a rush or if you’re just hungover, eggs and toast isn’t exactly ideal. That’s why smoothies are the greatest breakfast ever. Kiwi, blueberry, strawberry, orange and peanut butter. Simple,…
Sun-Dried Tomato and Red Bean Quesadillas
Quesadillas are one of the easiest and versatile lunches you can make. They re-heat really well so you can take them for lunch, they taste good with dozens of different sauces and you can fill them with essentially whatever you want. This quesadilla is for a single serving but you can just multiply the ingredients…
Baked Bloomin’ Onion
There are some foods that are nostalgic. People either associate them with a specific person from their child, or maybe an occasion that sticks in their memory. For me, the Bloomin’ Onion is one of those foods. I took a trip to Florida with my family when I was younger, and we went to the…
Quick Multi-Seed Crackers
This was my first attempt at making homemade crackers and all things considered, it went pretty well. The only thing I did wrong with this recipe was I didn’t roll the dough out thin enough so my “crackers” are more like baked pita bread, but they still taste good. One really cool thing about these…
Apple, Goat Cheese and Spinach Salad with White Balsamic and Avocado Dressing
Before you say, “Oh great, another salad” just hear me out. What makes this salad unique is the mix up of different flavour groups. You’ve got apple, which is sweet and has a crunch–then you have goat cheese to balance is out which is soft and savoury. This salad is super fast, easy and yummy….
Double Baked Spaghetti Squash
Spaghetti squash is the ultimate gluten-free substitute for any wheat-based pastas. Unlike regular squash like acorn or butternut where you would just cube it or slice it, spaghetti squash pulls apart into thin edible “threads” which is where it gets its name. It’s easy to roast, doesn’t need lots of seasoning and reheats well if…
Baked Eggs in Tomato Cups
Rushed mornings should not mean no breakfast. You can prep this recipe in 2 minutes the night before (literally) so everything will be ready to go in the morning. Bake the cups while you’re doing your daily morning routine so by the time you’re ready to leave you can eat this and go. This recipe…
Vegan Veal Parmesan Sandwich
I just got home from a trip to Florida, and I have to admit America is an odd place to be a vegetarian. Most restaurants didn’t have a single veg item on their menu, and when one man heard I was a vegetarian he jokingly told me to “Go back to my planet”. I loved…
Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Pancakes
In honour of celebrating Pancake Tuesday, I decided to make some sweet potato pancakes with onion and a pretty big kick of spice (you can adjust it if you want it to be mild). They’re packed with protein, easy to make and you’ll definitely want seconds. These pancakes are basically a twist on traditional potato…
