A few days ago I posted a green chili cornbread recipe. It was my first foray into vegan cornbread. The flavor was mild and pretty delish. I am definitely a cornbread lover. I admire it for its ability to accept other flavors and textures, like a blank slate for creativity. Just throw it in and […]

It happens every year at this time…a chill creeps into the air and all of a sudden I have an overwhelming desire to bake with zucchini. Perhaps my cravings follow the laws of supply and demand. Zucchini have made their debut at our farmers market and are now abundant and cheap. Time to get our […]

The other day I found a new-to-me package of breakfast pitas called Morning Rounds by the Ozery Bakery in Toronto. According to the Ozery site, “… our business is based upon this simple foundation: Our bodies deserve the best possible fuel. And our commitment to quality and service is at the core of our daily […]

Most days I leave for work at 6am. That means my lunch is made everyday between 4-5 am when inspiration may still be asleep. The other morning we were also dealing with a pretty bare cupboard. Out of necessity, sleep deprivation and an urgency of time, we came up with the Almond Butter, Asian Pear […]

A few days ago at the store where I work, I rang up a Carrot Cake for a customer and thought, yum. I would love to eat you if you were vegan, made without oil and a more compassionate version of yourself. So, that day I decided to take it a step further and invite […]

This rich and creamy breakfast is so brilliantly supreme that you would think that it could only be served in an exquisite 5 star bed and breakfast. In reality, it can be served from your very own mini-crock pot on any average weekday or for your everyday special moments in life. After minimal preparation, it […]

Yesterday I wanted to try out a new dessert recipe from the Engine 2 book. It was for blueberry cobbler. Sounds great to me. I love baked fruit. So, I realize that I don’t have enough blueberries, but I can fill in with strawberries. I don’t have whole wheat pastry flour, but I do have […]

Yesterday we tried a new breakfast edible and loved it so much I wanted to share. They are Breakfast Patties from the Sunshine Burger Company. These breakfast burgers are all organic patties crafted from beans, rice and seeds. They are nutritionally packed flavor bombs that are easy to make (just heat it up) and are […]

I have been suffering from muffin phobia for some time now. This is mainly because the ones that have crossed my path have been calorie dense and nutrient barren, albeit delicious desserts disguised in a breakfast wrapper. I could eat a 1000 calorie muffin that was as big as my head and a half hour […]

This winter I have found that I have been craving two things almost daily, a really hot bath and a decaf, sugar free Peppermint Mocha with soy milk. The latter is kind of an expensive habit that I have not let myself indulge in that frequently lest I take out a personal loan to support […]
