Oh man. We took the most embarrassing trip to Planet Organic today. The embarrassment factor was twofold: first off, I had three ornery toddlers with me. Thankfully, Planet Organic is rife with free samples to put in kids’ making noise holes and keep their shelf pillaging hands fairly busy. Embarrassment the second is what I [...]
Ethnic Cottage Tikka Cooking Sauce
On October - 24 - 2011
Hey! It’s the last week of Vegan MoFo already! Holy Hummus! What to do? How about “A Week in Reviews”? OK!!! This week will be dedicated to reviews of handy vegan products, because, let’s face it, it’s downright exciting to see a product labeled “vegan.” It’s like a happy grocery store birthday present. Fantastic. First [...]
Mom’s Macaroni Casserole
On October - 19 - 2011
My Mom’s Macaroni Casserole was better than your mom’s. That’s just plain and simple fact. In most households, the very mention of macaroni casserole sends shudders down the spine: I see visions of condensed “Cream of Stuff” soup, cans of tuna, undercooked, or worse, over cooked celery and frozen peas or squares of weird pig [...]
Curried Squash Blossoms
On October - 13 - 2011
Hey! Remember those Rustic Curried Squash Ravioli we made the another night? Sure you do! Well, you may have noticed that the recipe makes way more filling than the pasta can possibly handle. That’s because it is a statistical fact that vegans loooooooove leftovers! Why not turn your extra filling into something pretty to snack [...]

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 [...]
Chipotle Black Bean Burgers
On October - 5 - 2011
Hey! You know what I forgot? I forgot that since it is Vegan Mofo, I am suposed to be theming it up with my posts. My original intention was to do something centered on kid friendly recipes and teaching children healthy eating habits for life, but my first two posts have been kind of pity-party-complainy-narcissistic [...]
I’m baaaaaaacccckkkkkk, Vegan MoFos!
On October - 3 - 2011
Well, well, well. After a three month (unintentional) hiatus, I am back on the keyboard just in time for my favourite event of the year: Vegan MoFo! This summer really kicked my creative butt: life plans went a little topsy turvy and sucked out my motivation for a bit, but everything happens for a reason. [...]
