My Whole Deal

Think I’ll be able to rhyme-title all my posts this month? Today’s MoFo is brought to you in part by a Victoria institution: Rebar Modern Food. Chances are if you are even slightly veggie oriented you have mad a point to hit this adorable restaurant nestled in what used to be a bank vault in historic Bastion Square. I happen to have it in good authority that the currently siteless Rebar is about to make a huge splash on the web, but until... more

Whoah, October! What the heck are you doing here already? And what have you brought with you? Vegan MoFo 2012, the Victoria Marathon (8k) and Disneyland? Aaaaaiiiiiiiahhhh! Due to the sheer craziness of this month, I will be keeping my MoFo posts very short and sweet (and sometimes savoury) this year. Since transitioning to a clean-eating, gluten-free diet in March, I have never felt better, so I will use Vegan MoFo to highlight some of the amazing... more

See how terrible this picture is? I took it with my terrible phone. Because I am finally getting my camera fixed! Huzzah!!!! Okay, okay, okay. Maybe Autumn isn’t the devil after all. Perpetual student that I am, I always feel more motivated and productive when the trees start taking their leaf clothes off. With all three of my monkeys attending school this fall, I am baking up a storm to keep their lunch kits stocked. These particular muffins... more

Fine. I Get it. It's Fall. Yummmmmmm. I am in the middle of a career transition, which means I am staying up late and stocking our deep freeze with very many easily defrostable suppers and generally just doing everything but writing for pleasure. However, I would be a huge jerk-head of I did not share this ridiculously easy and undeniably delightful recipe with you all. Right. Now. Did you eat dairy as a kid? I actually lived exclusively on yogurt... more

Hey, people who came out of me! Leave me alone and eat your anthropomorphic food creatures!!! I have so many things on deck right now: salsas, camping cuisine, cookies, dressings, cakes, curries, soups, lunch box ideas, reviews, soooooo many baby friends and more! Now, if everyone reading could each lend me an extra 6 hours a day, well, that would just be swell!   Back soon. Promise!  Read More

Holy slippery summer! I cannot believe we are approaching mid-August already and, while I am sad that the daylight is waning ever-faster, I am loving all the fresh, local produce spilling forth into my shopping bags. Berries, tree fruit, eggplant and summer squash galore–this week alone I’ve concocted 5 varieties of freezer jam, chocolate zucchini muffins, baba ghanouj and this delicious roasty veg dish that can be served hot or cold. This... more

Summertime Vegan Comfort Food I’ve got plenty of projects in the hopper right now (more Tofino reviews, Victoria Vegan Fest, Vegan Pho and more!), but I wanted to take but a brief moment to post a yummy recipe that will help you use up all those greens your gardens are no doubt foisting at you. This quick, yummy cheesy sauce is a great friend to any leafy green you have on hand: collards, kale, spinach, bok choi, beet greens, argula, finely... more
