Toasted Coconut Ice Cream
I’m on a mission this summer to do some amazing things with my ice cream maker. Here is dispatch #1 of deliciousness.
Vegetables for Breakfast?
If you actually took my advice and made the Death by Brownie recipe from last week, you will more than likely be feeling a little pudgy from the fudgey. Which is why I thought busting out an old recipe for a Green Smoothie would be just the antidote for a body in need of some cleansing.
Death by Brownie
If you plan on making these highly addictive brownies, I suggest digging out those dorky elastic-waist pants for the occasion. It’s totally worth the indulgence.
A Culture of Culture
You know what I think we need more of? Culture! Microbial culture that is (although I support the other kind too). I’ve been busy with my three new fermented house pets: sourdough starter, kombucha, & dirty socks porridge! Read on to feed your curiosity…
Saturday came bearing muffins & a foodie photoshoot
It’s been a long while since I’ve held a photo shoot in my kitchen. This probably means two things: 1) I have a kitchen again! 2) I have my Canon SLR camera again! (after 3 months of travel, I had neither of the two, and sorely missed them both. And thus is how my Saturday [...]
Surprise Sourdough Success
I can’t believe after royally messing with my recipe, I managed to produce a perfect loaf of vegan, gluten-free sourdough bread. Go figure. Here I attempt to recount my roundabout recipe in hopes that others may have similar successes.
Social Change
I am pondering more deeply the notion of “social change,” and realizing it is less about what we do, and more about how we do it.
Protests as Activism for Social Change
Given all the conflicting coverage and the controversy and buzz around last weekend’s G20 events in Toronto, I feel compelled to put forward my perspective on the issue…and in particular, with whether protests are an effective means of advocating for ‘change’. Tens of thousands took to the streets in Toronto in protest of the G8/G20 [...]
Almond Milk
DIY Dairy-free Milk! Making your own vegan milk is a great way to reduce your eco-footprint since it saves on packaging and transportation. And of course, it tastes better and is better for you. Now get milking!
Chicken Soup for the Sickly Soul
Oh man, was I sick last week. Somehow I managed to have a 24-hr flu at two separate occasions in one week. That’s 48 hours of un-fun-times folks. Once my stomach regained its sense of gravity, it called for something warm, easy to digest, and most importantly, super easy. This one checks off all three.
Wedding Cakes for a Couple of Foodies
“From healthy soil, may seeds grow, into roots, shoots and fruits.” My foray into fancy cake making is kicked off with a steep learning curve: Three cakes to celebrate the marriage of two food-loving friends.
Substituting Gluten-Free Flour in Baking: How To
I often have trouble finding fully Emily-friendly dessert recipes… it’s no wonder really, since most baked goods contain about 75% Emily-unfriendly ingredients such as wheat, sugar, eggs, and/or dairy. I’ve gotten pretty good at veganizing recipes, and it’s even getting easier to translate cane sugar to maple or agave. The last bastion, though, has proven [...]
"Cheese" please
I always get a kick out of vegan recipes that call for “cheese”. As if whatever combination of nuts, nutritional yeast, and soy sauce would yield something that actually tastes remotely like what comes from an animal. Last night I tried out one of said “cheese” recipes that I found on the internet, using nutritional [...]
Day 6: Chickpea Pancakes
Never let “Chreese” let you tricking you into thinking its cheese.
Day 5: Back to the Bowl
Yesterday morning was a bit of a rush job, but I was determined not to slide. I pulled out the old multi-task hat (actually it rarely gets put away) and made a ‘cheesy-rice-broccoli-hummus’ bowls for breaky. This is one of those “mess-in-a-bowl” recipes that may not look that awesome but rates high on the ease [...]
