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.
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.
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 – [...]
Gluten-Free Vegan Pumpkin Spice Gingerbread
I try to mix up my posts between reflections on food issues and recipes. But recipes are so much easier! I made this gingerbread loaf yesterday for a potluck, and didn’t have a chance to take a pic before, but you can imagine it looked something like this: It’s vegan, gluten-free, and soy-free :) But [...]
Bubby’s Apple Cake
Last weekend was Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Normally, I head to Montreal to celebrate with my mom’s side of the family. This year, however, I wasn’t able to go. Jewish holidays are always a bit hard for me diet-wise, since so much of Jewish cooking involves eggs and sugar. My grandmother (Bubby) used [...]
Gluten-free Ginger-Peach Corn Muffins
A perfect pairing for the fall harvest season. These ginger-peach corn muffins are gluten-free, agave-sweetened and vegan.
Gluten-free Plum Cake
Inspired by my recent purchase of the Babycakes cookbook and a sneaking suspicion that I may be sensitive to more than just wheat, I’ve been experimenting more with gluten-free baking lately. And thanks to some great recipes, careful measurements, and a bit of luck as I’ve swapped around ingredients, they’ve been turning out great. Here [...]
