While I’m never thrilled when the summer ends, I’m a huge fan of fall. It’s my favourite season, aside from the fact that winter comes next. The best part is early fall and the re-introduction of fall-inspired cooking. Everything becomes a little heartier and warmer with an overall comfort-food kind...
Winter Salad Recipes
Winter hits, and all the sudden I have zero desire to eat salad anymore. A food I so enjoy during those warmer months, just doesn’t have the same appeal as a huge bowl of soup the second it starts to get cold out. As much as I would love to...
Healthy Comfort Food: My Eggplant Lasagna Recipe
One of my favourite things to do is experiment with food. There are so many ways to transform a recipe with only a few tweaks and changes. I’ve been doing this for years, but it’s become even more of an occurrence since I cut out dairy and gluten. I wanted...
Create warm memories with this easy-to-make Minestrone soup
What I love about food is that it doesn’t just keep us full and healthy, but it also has an interesting way of evoking certain feelings and memories. For example, when I think of minestrone soup, I think of my dad getting us takeout from one of the neighbourhood pizza...
Immune Boosting Chicken Soup
This Healing chicken soup is an adaptation of my family’s traditional chicken soup recipe. When I first started making it, I followed the family recipe to a T, but realized over time I could tweak it to be even more healthy than the one that had been healing our colds...
Healthy Dinner Ideas Under $20

Healthy-ish Rice Crispy Treats
There's really nothing I love more than a theme. I love to take the "norm" and dress it up for any holiday or occasion. You can imagine then, how much I would love a holiday like Halloween. Costumes, decorations, scary movies (the cheesy ones, not the really scary ones) and...
Healthy Lentil Soup Recipe
It's as simple as this, once the leaves start to change colour, and there's a nip in the air, it's soup season! I love making a big batch of soup on the weekend and having meals for the week. Soup is such a great vehicle for veggies and protein. You...
My Rosh Hashanah Dinner Menu
When we bought our condo, my only requirement was that we had space to host our families for the holidays. We bought a big dining room table, and enough dishes and cutlery to comfortably host up to 16 people. I was so excited to finally be able to have the...
Creamy Spicy Garlicky Orzo
This is one of those recipes that came together in a pinch, but was too delicious not to share. I had done a haul on Naturamarket, and was looking for a way to use the gluten free orzo I ordered. I also had a whole plan last weekend to recipe...
