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 [...]
Salad Club
As a kid I was constantly trying to bring people together through ‘clubs’. I think it was the Babysitters Club books that inspired me initially…but that desire to socially convene people has lived on, and generally in a less ‘members-only’ way. Nevertheless, whenever I hear about clubs, my ears perk up hearkening back to times [...]
Sugar-free Carrot Cake & Almond Crème Frosting
In follow up to my explanation as to where I’ve been for the past month, I thought I’d share a recipe I created while I was away. This cake is a variation on the carrot loaf I posted a while back. I made it for about 30 people so I’ve included the big cake version [...]

Raw Apple Pile
I just returned from our annual family trip to Montreal for Passover, and I remembered this recipe I posted this time last year. An unusual suspect for a passover dessert since it has no eggs or sugar. My happy alternative to dessert after a giant family meal.
Iron(ic) Chef: Vegan Round
It’s been a few weeks now since I told the world about my blog and I haven’t posted since! This is a big no no in the blogging world I am sure, so I apologize to those who’ve come back looking for new material and were disappointed to find it sorely lacking. I had put [...]
A Tale of Two Carrot Loaves
A carrot cake experiment in gluten-free and spelt!
Workshopping a Healthy Muffin
I held my first home-based baking workshop last week and the results were sweet…like potatoes!
Local Pancakes / Un-Enlightenment Pancakes
Ok, many people think I’m all about über health all the time. Yeah, okay, so I eat vegetables for breakfast. But that doesn’t mean I can’t have pancakes for dinner. Which is exactly what I did tonight. The perfect antidote for my fatigue, hunger, and day-long crave-fest for all things sugary and carbo-hydrated. It’s funny [...]
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.
Warming Winter Soup
I have to admit, I’m not always sure what to do with a lot of root vegetables. And it being the winter and all, we tend to always have a drawer full of them slowly wrinkling away. Quite the sad state. I thought today that those veggies needed a superhero: someone to accept them for [...]
