Over these past few weeks I’ve been reading articles on soup flavour-boosters. I don’t consider salt a good additive because if you’re already using bouillon cubes or pre-made stock, the salt content will be through the roof. The most interesting and surprising tip I’ve found in several articles is to save the rinds of cheese…

Eggnog French Toast
There is a love/hate relationship going on with eggnog in my mind. I think it has good flavour and everything, but the idea of drinking egg grosses me out slightly. So last night I saw the Iron Chef holiday special, where each chef needed to incorporate eggnog into all of their dishes. One chef made…
Slow Cooker Eggplant, Potato and Mushroom Curry
Since my exams have finished I’ve had lots of time on my hands for the winter break. So I decided to tackle a slow cooker recipe; something I’ve never done before and it was a little scary. When it comes to curry, I’m a little bit picky and there should be lots of thicker sauce,…
Agedashi Tofu
Agedashi tofu is a great little appetizer for parties, or just for a brunch for two. It’s got a tangy and spicy sauce with the crunch of fried tofu and green onions. You can eat this just on its own, or you can serve it with a small bowl of miso soup and an orange…
Shakshuka (Poached Eggs in Vegetables)
This breakfast takes a little bit of extra time in the morning, but is completely worth it. Tomatoes and veggies with eggs cracked in the mix makes for a flavour-packed and gluten-free Israeli dish. I adapted this recipe from a Vegetarian Times issue that I received a few months back. It looks awesome and tastes…
Sweet and Spicy Ginger Soba Noodles
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…
Mini Calzones (Pizza Pops)
Sauce, cheese and veggies all folded up in dough and baked in your oven…it’s essentially a big ball of homemade pizza. Life is good. Pizza pops are one of my guilty pleasures. I could just demolish a box of those no problem, but they aren’t all too good for you. When you make them yourself,…
Sweet Potato and Peanut Butter Muffins
I often sort my meals out by food group to make sure I get the right amount of foods from each category every day. These muffins are the perfect breakfast for that because they have grain, dairy, vegetables and protein. For the past few years, I’ve been in the bad habit of only making muffins…
