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 [...]
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 [...]

Happy Evil Colonial Regime Weekend! Or whatever. Yay History! Sour grapes aside, the first weekend of July is a jubilant weekend for all of us here on this stolen continent.

Sounds more professional if I inflate the numbers a little), but methinks we are finally back on track. Methinks, anyway. As I mentioned in my last post, oh [...]
Mexican Black Bean Soup
On May - 13 - 2011
All hail the pressure cooker! Once again our favourite handy-dandy appliance delivers timely tastiness to your table with flavours so complex, you’ll think this soup’s been simmering since Cinco de Mayo. I know I have professed my undying love for pressure cookers on numerous occasions, but it’s not all fantastic foods and easy living: I [...]
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.
