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...
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...
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...
Broccoli Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette
This salad was a really nice change from my usual recipes. I always love a good chopped salad, but tend to gravitate towards the same basic salad structure- cucumbers, bell peppers, and then some variety of olive. Even though I used a lot of the same ingredients I typically would...
Hot and Sour Soup
Last night, I decided I was in the mood for some Asian cuisine. We have not been ordering for the last 4 weeks, so I decided to whip something up instead! I made a giant pot of hot and sour soup, and I also made a small batch of peanut...

I've always liked pesto, but hadn't fully figured out a recipe that I really loved, that is, until this one. Really, I was just looking for a way to use up spinach that was nearing the end of it's shelf life, so I figured why not throw it into a...
Coconut Green Curry Soup
Turns out I started this post back in January, and never got around to finishing it! Looks like, there's no excuses now! This soup has a few more ingredients than some of my other recipes, but they're all pretty easy to come by. If your local grocery store doesn't have...
Dairy Free “Cream” of Broccoli Soup
Even though the weather has been getting warmer in my area, I've still been very much into soups lately. It's been a great way to make sure I'm using up all the scraps in my fridge, and nothing goes to waste! This "cream" of broccoli soup recipe was an idea...
Homemade Teriyaki Bowls
I had a flash of inspiration last Sunday night and decided I needed to make teriyaki bowls. It wasn't even that I wanted to, I simply HAD to. With that being said though, I knew I wanted to make my own sauce, and then build bowls from there. The requirements...
Curried Lentil Stew
I never thought I would be a curry girl. I've never enjoyed Indian food, but always liked the smell of curry. I would then try a dish someone would swear by, and it still never really did it for me. Recently, as I've been experimenting more with flavours, I decided...
