Cocoa Fudge Chocolate Superfood Smoothie Recipe
When I think of winter, I think of chocolate! Actually pause, rewind, I think of chocolate all year round but I especially like to indulge in it during the holidays and throughout winter! Hot chocolate. Chocolate chip cookies. Chocolate fudge brownies. The sweet tooth kicks in and all I want is that rich, smooth, cocoa flavoured everything! When we used to live in Toronto I would stop by Greenhouse Juice Co. and order their Rococoa smoothie which was heavenly! It had “hidden greens” in ...
Vegan Butter Chicken Recipe | Easy to Follow
Creamy, buttery, rich, exotic flavours. When I was a teenager and I used to work at the mall, there was this Indian fast food restaurant in the food court that was so good--they always had a lineup! Every day on my lunch breaks I would run over there to try and beat the rush, and the only thing on the menu that I never got sick of ordering was their butter chicken on rice with a side of warm naan. Mmmmmm. Oh. Em. Gee. It was a foodgasm, every single time. But making traditional Indian ...

Maple-Pecan Cinnamon-Chai Vegan Doughnuts with Rose Petals…. Now that’s a mouthful! (pun intended) :) Anytime I think of doughnuts... those classic pink glaze with rainbow sprinkle ones that Homer Simpson used to eat always come to mind! Is that weird? ...
Avocado-Zucchini Spring Garden Salad
Happy Cinco de Mayo! With the ongoing climate of COVID-19 impacting how we celebrate occasions from Easter to Passover to Ramadan, and more, one constant throughout each holiday is food. Food unites us, it’s universal, and it gives us a way to celebrate something in our own special way. ...
How to Make Vegan Pumpkin Scones [Easy *Actually Delicious* Recipe]
I feel like over the last few years ‘Pumpkin Spice’, as a flavour, has gotten somewhat of a bad rep! Maybe it’s been overdone… maybe it’s on too many coffee shop menus… maybe it’s been infused into too many different types of foods… I don’t know! I do know that to me, October is the month for allllll of the #pumpkinspice baked goods! That’s one food category from which you just can’t take the pumpkin away! Pumpkin scones, pumpkin loaves, pumpkin soups… and I’m just saying the pumpkin timbits ...
Local Freshness Delivered | Toronto Online Grocery Shopping
When my heartmate and I first moved to Toronto five years ago, everyone told us we wouldn’t need a car as we would be living in the core of the city, and as such, would be able to walk anywhere we needed to go. So the time came where packed up all our belongings in Montreal, we sold our car, hired movers... and 2 plane tickets later we were living in a new city, (the big city), in our condo waiting for our belongings to arrive. ...
Warm & Toasted Homemade Cinnamon Spiced Granola (V, GF)
Sooooo, I know I’m completely off-season with this recipe because the flavours and profile just scream winter comfort food, BUT, I try not to think of homemade granola as a seasonal snack because it is literally one of my biggest weaknesses. And I embarrassingly consume it in amounts that stretch far beyond a normal portion size. But yolo. Many of you know, I’m sure, that my weakness is for foods that are both crunchy and savoury (i.e., I can make a bag of chips disappear in two seconds flat). ...
Vanilla-Orange Gluten Free Donuts | Easy Vegan Recipe
Sometimes you just wanna take a bite out of a warm, glazed doughnut. Ahhh, yum! A little indulgence from time to time, right? In moderation of course! The tough part about picking up doughnuts at coffee shops or dessert places is that it isn’t always easy to find “healthier” options. Gluten-free, vegan, allergen-free… Sometimes it can be a challenge. These doughnuts are both vegan and gluten-free, and I challenged myself to keep the sugar to a minimum. Half a cup of sugar for 12-13 ...
