There are two types of people in this world – those that love pink, and those that are wrong. Not only is pink a pretty hue, but it has also made its mark on our planet. Pink ribbons are used to raise awareness for breast cancer, a pink shirt is a symbol for anti-bullying, and…

Lemony Vegan Basil Pesto
Nothing says summer more than a bright and herbaceous pesto! Who’s with me?! Pesto is a highly underused food, IMO. It is so versatile – from a sauce for pasta or pizza to a simple spread for toast, it is a complete flavour bomb! Traditionally, pesto is made with five key ingredients: Basil, pine nuts,…
Peanut Butter and Jam Cups
My 100th Instagram post (@nevernoteatingca) had to be something chocolate…The best food group. I recently posted a Strawberry Rhubarb Jam recipe, and since then have been trying to find different ways of incorporating it into a variety of different dishes. Since peanut butter is jam’s homeboy, I thought, why not add it to my classic…
Vegan Coconut Panna Cotta with a Mango Compote
I’m not drooling, your drooling. Okay, it’s me…I’m drooling. Because – Panna Cotta! This vegan dessert mimics the OG Italian dessert. “Panna Cotta” means “Cooked Cream” in Italian, and I give you just that! Minus the cream, sub the coconut milk – My fav! It’s smooth, creamy, sweet and fruity. The perfect make-ahead dessert! This…
Vegan Chocolate Bars
My day goes like this: Wake up, coffee, work, breakfast, chocolate, dinner, chocolate, sleep, repeat. There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t consume dark chocolate. Don’t judge me. Typically, I just snap off a few squares of dark chocolate and have that as an after-dinner snack, but sometimes, I like to switch…
Butternut Squash and Kale Lasagne Roll-Ups
Sometimes I pretend I’m on the show Chopped and I try to use ingredients in an innovative way. Like lasagne noodles for example. Why lay flat, when you can roll, baby. Thaz right. The layers in this lasagne aren’t lookin’ like a sedimentary rock, nuh uh. They are more like a snail shell. Yah feel…
Make-Ahead Vegan Sweet Potato Salad
Here is the perfect plant-based side dish for this year’s lonely Easter dinner. It is perfect because: You can (and should) make it the day before It is 100% vegan It tastes like traditional mayo-based potato salad, but healthier It’s a smaller batch (you should be social distancing!) I love potatoes of all kinds, yet…
Crockpot Ginger and Turmeric Immune-Boosting Soup
Soup. Soupa-doop. Soupa-doopa-doopa-doop. Grab your salt ‘n pepa (get it?!) and let’s finish off this last month of winter with some cozy, comforting, cold-fighting soup! Nineteen. More. Days. Although I love living in a country that experiences four diverse seasons, winter is always way too long. And as a teacher, it’s hard NOT to pick…
Matcha Latte
The last few weeks I have been taking a leave of absence from coffee, and lemme tell you, it’s not ideal. It has been exactly one month – to the day – where I have deprived myself of the greatest beverage known to humankind and I was sure I would be miserable without it. On…
Pear, Mozzarella and Caramelized Onion Flatbread
Are you a human? Well then this recipe is for you! Because, NO ONE that I know and respect dislikes pizza. Honestly, if someone tells you they don’t like pizza, they’re lying. Don’t trust them. Ordering pizza has never really been something that I do very often. I guess because I don’t think about it….
