Hi again again! See? I really am back, if not a little sluggish. To pick up where we last left off, I am a longtime, health conscious vegan who went mildly astray. But not all at once. Things got drastic when I started hanging out with this guy: Discounting the fact that he has put [...]
Pressure Cooker Chick*n Pea Stew and Dumplings
On October - 12 - 2011
Well, autumn is definitely in full force in Victoria (which really just means we’ve settled into the dreary mildness that is also winter and spring here on the South Island). That means my tummy needs a hug on the inside and there is no better way to accomplish that feat than with warm stew and [...]
Better Than Instant Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
On October - 6 - 2011
It’s Thanksgiving-time in Canada-land this weekend. There is no better way to feel glaringly vegan than attending a family gathering entirely centred on food. For many of us, it goes without saying to always bring a main (might I suggest Chick** Pot Pie or Vegan Shepherd’s Pie?), but vegan friendly sides can be slim pickings [...]
Skirlie Tattie Squares
On February - 21 - 2011

But it turns out the world [...]
“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 [...]
Spinach and Potato Bites
On December - 16 - 2010
Oh yeah, I know, I know, I know. Yet another recipe featuring my fancy-dancy gyoza press. I just love it so dang much, as I do anything that makes me look more talented than I actually am. Like my husband. I made these fast. Like crazy fast. Like “I-forgot-the-3-year-old’s-X-mas-concert-is-also-a-potluck-and-we-have-to-be-there-in-25-minutes-fast.” They are such happy-crispy-satisfying pillows of [...]
Fat Free Vegan Potato Leek Soup
On November - 26 - 2010
Vegan MoFo IV, Day #26, Week #4: Vegan Mish Mash and Whatnot Who’s got two thumbs and went out last night? This vegan blogstess (hmmm…that schtick works better in person). It’s got to be an indisputable medical fact that soup is a miraculous elixir, capable of coursing through the bodies of the ailing, creating a [...]
