Brrrr! Today is the first day it has really felt like Fall in Victoria. So much so that I immediately yanked out the slow cooker at 7 am this morning to warm my house with the scent of an all day stew. Yesterday I took the book, Sporkfed , out of the library. I’ve been perusing it, but [...]
Slow Cooker Spiced Apples
On September - 25 - 2012
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 [...]
Cheesy Vegan Greens
On July - 18 - 2012
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 [...]

Fantastic. First [...]
Mojo Cubano Potstickers

The problem is [...]
Ginger Miso Quinoa, 2 Ways
On May - 12 - 2011
I tend to cook a lot of one pot meals: stews, soups, curries and casseroles are my go-to dinners. I enjoy the simplicity of having everything you need in just one dish. Also, I’m pretty busy most of the time. How can I possibly be expected to think of more than one thing to make [...]
Asian-Style Panko Crusted Baked Tofu
On April - 27 - 2011
Earlier this month, I saw a recipe on Vegan Dad that looked very intriguing: Golden Crispy Tofu. I tend to shy away from serving tofu since my manfriend gets a little skittish around cliché vegan food and fabricated protein sources, but this looked so crunchy and familiar that I figured I could trick him into [...]
