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 [...]

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, [...]
“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 [...]

HST Sandwich. Don’t Hate!
On July - 6 - 2010
Taxes are evil, I know, and us British Columbians are especially passive aggressively irate over the recently implemented HST (seriously, like my drinking problem isn’t already costing me enough). So why not Pavlov-ificate yourself with a yummy HST sandwich? Then every time you have to pay extra tax on essentials like school supplies, kids’ clothing [...]
