Hoo Hoo Billy. It has been a super-dumb week and a bit. So much stuff has transpired to change the trajectory of my little world and I just did not feel like cooking or blogging or talking to anyone. But, you can only be in a funk for so long before you are known as [...]
Mojo Cubano Potstickers
On June - 1 - 2011
I was snarfy hungry on Saturday afternoon. I think the kids are calling it hangry these days. Whatever the moniker, once my entire family had casually yet pointedly removed themselves from my presence, I realised I needed to eat something right quick or risk solitary confinement for the rest of the weekend. The problem is [...]
Easy Lentil Tacos
On May - 5 - 2011
YAY! I love any excuse to post Mexican-inspired recipes because those are hands down the recipes that get the most love from the eating enthusiasts in my family. But today is Cinco de Mayo, so I’m totally justified. Except that I am Canadian and Wikipedia claims this day has nothing to do with me. Oh, [...]
Crispy Baked Lentil Spinach Pierogies
On April - 16 - 2011
Lentils are by far my favourite legume. I was a horrible, picky child, so when I was finally allowed to give up meat as a teenager, I found I was faced with a conundrum: I thought beans were super-icky to the max. For serious. But the late 90s weren’t a stellar time for faux-meat products, [...]
Burn the Sick Out Soup
On April - 7 - 2011
I am sick. So, achy, chest cold-y, wretchy, fever-y, chill-y, gross-y yuck sick. But, you know what? I’m craftier than some stupid invasive infection! I’m gonna burn the mutha out. Garlic, ginger, chillies, Sriracha–burn, burn, you’re gonna burn, little buggies! Yet, despite the multitude of spicy ingredients, this soup is more warming than scorching (although, [...]
Meet the Happy Herbivore
On March - 23 - 2011
Hot on the heels of her first cookbook release, blogger and healthy-living diva extraordinaire, Lindsay S. Nixon, is embarking on a virtual vegan blog tour. How very modern and environmentally conscious, no? Like me, Lindsay eschews processed oils and animal products in favour of whole and wholesome vegan food. If you have yet to discover [...]
“Tuscan” Tomato-Lentil Quinoa Stew
On January - 13 - 2011
This is a stew born out of leftover quinoa and a dream. And perusing yet another one of the thoughtful X-mas gifts my badass husband gave me. He loves words like badass. And appies. And guac. And he loves when I falsify information about him in a public forum. He’s so weird. The gift part [...]
