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.
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…
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 [...]
Day 4: Polenta Success!
Ok, I’ve picked myself off, dusted myself off and have moved on in the world of savoury breakfasts. Today I made a successful foray into another previously uncharted territory of corn. I made polenta! But first, a few thoughts: In my week of savoury breakfasts, I am definitely noticing a striking resemblance of my breakfast [...]
Day 3: kind of a cop-out breakfast
Ok, first of all I want to say that posting every day is HARD! Given my usual pattern of 2 posts in a week followed by a 3 week hiatus, my committment to a week of savoury breakfasts is turning out to be a committment to more than initially anticipated! I’m not complaining though. I [...]
Savoury Breakfast: Day 2 – Cornbread "Crumble"
Today’s savoury breakfast was cornbread. Although don’t be fooled by the picture. After I took the picture, things started to fall apart. Literally. I have never had the desire to actually throw any of my baking experiments out…but this one stands a good chance of getting tossed tomorrow. Or being stowed away for gluten-free bread [...]
A Week of Savoury Breakfasts
I’ve been thinking a lot lately of how I can switch up my breakfast routine. Variety, after all, is the spice of life they say. Last night I had a craving for chocolate. And after whipping up a batch of chocolate covered nuts and raisins, and eating about half of the batch, I probably came [...]
Pumpkin Buckwheat Pancakes
Going for long periods without food is always a recipe for disaster. Last night I got home late without having had a proper dinner and then this morning I went for a run first thing. Although it’s not good to eat before exercise, all I could think about was breakfast – and more particularly – [...]
Chia Pudding (yes…like Chia pets)
…but minus the green hair and freaky faces. Chia seeds are my new favourite food. Or, rather, they form the basis of my new favourite dish, which is chia pudding. Chia seeds are a “superfood”. There has been a lot of talk lately about these “superfoods” – foods that have a high phytonutrient content. I [...]
Crunchy Quinoa Carrot Biscuits

Can be put into muffin shapes or plopped onto a greased cookie sheet like tea biscuits. Makes 12 small or 10 big biscuits Ingredients: 1.5 c quinoa flour 1/2 c brown rice flour 1/2 [...]
Vegetables for Breakfast?
I can’t say enough good things about green things…including vegetables. If you know me this will appear to be particularly ironic, given my longstanding standoffish behaviour towards this food group. It’s something I’ve had to face with the whole going vegetarian thing. I will openly admit to having once been a sugar-craving carb-fiend that considered [...]
Choose Your Own Adventure Granola
Granola is staple breakfast food around here and it’s rarely the same twice. So instead of posting a single recipe, I’ll leave the concocting to you. Life should be an adventure! And so should granola.
