Middle Eastern Orzo Pilaf

What happens when the Middle East meets the Mediterranean? Only the greatest of things! Okay, I am in love with all flavours of all regions of the world (literally), but Middle Eastern…AND Italian?! Two heavyweights in the culinary world and I’m here for it! Like a hundo P’s. Let me break down this fusion for…

Roasted Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Crouton Skewers

What’s better than tomato soup and grilled cheese when the weather starts to get chilly?! Here’s a hint: It starts with “n” and ends with “othing.” Tomato season is over where I am from, but soup season is just beginning, so I had to grab one more batch of fresh tomatoes to use to make…

Pumpkin and Kale Pizza

Mmmhm, yup. You read it right. Pumpkin pizza, baby. And, it’s damn good! When an ingredient comes into season, you better believe I overdo it. Every. Single. Time. But seriously, that’s what we are supposed to do, right?! Eat local, eat seasonal. For our country, for our health. The greatest part of this pizza is…

Vegan Pumpkin Coconut Cake

Channeling my inner Rihanna and bringing yah that cake, cake, cake, cake. Vegan cake, cake, cake, cake. That’s right…Eggless, milkless, and as a bonus – glutenless! No bad foods allowed. A perfect Thanksgiving dessert for the upcoming long weekend! This cake takes minutes to put together, minutes to bake, and seconds to eat. It is…

Homemade Pumpkin Puree

We don’t buy our pumpkin puree, nah, we make our own! Because, why not?! Have you ever seen homemade pumpkin puree? It’s a completely different colour than the one from the can, and you know what that means. Less guck. WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? The puree from the store often includes preservatives, such as sugar and…

Sweet Potato Fries

It’s the simple things in life. Reading a book outside in the warm weather. Sippin’ cocoa by the fire. Dipping sweet potato fries in my Good-on-Everything Green Sauce. Livin’ for it. This is a simple recipe. Simple, yet impactful. It took me a while to nail sweet potato fries. They are tricky little buggers. But,…

Gluten Free Crepes with an Apple Cinnamon Compote

I was recently sent a soup maker in the mail. It has become one of my favourite small appliances because of it’s versatility and ease of use. What does that have to do with these crepes, you ask? I made them in it. It’s not just a soup maker, peeps, and you can find it…

Chocolate Hummus

I’m shook. One week ago, this was not a food I had ever heard of, and let me tell you…I know most foods. My coworker had asked me if I had ever tried “chocolate hummus,” and the answer was “no” but that I “definitely needed to.” I asked him what was in it, and he…

Roasted Garlic Mashed Cauliflower (Low-Carb)

Where my keto friends at?! This Vegan Roasted Garlic Mashed Cauliflower is for you! We are officially entering Fall and that means, Thanksgiving. I’m a lover of enjoying seventy-four side dishes and can always forego the main one. I am always on the hunt for new and fun sides to add to any meal…especially those…

Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte

I made it four days into September before bustin’ out the fall flavours and the ever-so-basic PSL. You’re welcome. So, why would anyone pay $6.00 for a beverage from Starbucks when you can make it for way cheaper at home? You also know everything going into it when you make it yourself, and I’ll tell…
