Hello friends! I’ve been eating vegetarian for over two weeks now. Aside from being a touch sleepy, which could be due to other factors, I feel really good about what I’m eating. Overall, I’m making healthier choices and loading up on vegetables and legumes. I wanted to incorporate protein into my meals without always resorting… Continue reading Vegetarian Part 2: Hard Boiled Business
I’M HOME FROM TOUR! Instead of being in some cute coffee shop in Vancouver or Victoria, I’m at my local neighbourhood haunt in Toronto. Jimmy’s Coffee on Ossington. There’s something about Ossington that calms me and says “I’m home”. Probably because I’ve lived near it most of my Toronto life and it’s home of my… Continue reading Victory in Victoria
Every once and a while it’s fun to ditch what you’re familiar with and try something completely new. About a year ago my friends and I got together and had a Peruvian themed dinner party. We all made a dish and got to taste some food and flavours that we didn’t get a chance to… Continue reading Banh Mi, Baby!
Happy belated national pizza day! I didn’t even know that february 9th was a special pizza day until I saw the hashtag trending on Twitter.

Spaghetti squash is one of those neat veggies… Continue reading Spaghetti and Meat Sauce, Two Ways!

French onion soup is one of those delicious dishes that reminds me of the best parts of my childhood. I took a… Continue reading French Onion Soup
Winter sucks. I’m over it. Yes, winter is great if you can spend your time skiing, skating and making snow angles but as a woman on the go in a big city, I don’t have time for that! Sometimes I don’t even feel like going outside to get groceries but I do it anyway because… Continue reading Julia’s Two Bean Beef Chili
Last week was a rough. Cancer took the lives of a ton of celebrities (and a ton of other people who aren’t famous so it wasn’t in the news. F*&# CANCER). The one that affected me the most was David Bowie, probably because I thought he was immortal. Obviously I know he’s not immortal, I’m… Continue reading Star Anise Chicken with Mars Bar Mole
I MADE SO MUCH SOUP LAST WEEK. Monday morning felt about -20 and I was NOT having it. Fortunately, I had a few soup recipes that I was just dying to try. I have a tub of miso paste in my fridge that I barely use. Aside from being loaded with salt it’s actually very… Continue reading Soup, there it is!
Welcome to Eating with Julia! You may know me from Tumblr, but here is a whole new look. Enjoy 🙂 I took advantage of my cast iron pots and pans this week because I love a seamless transition from stove to oven.
