I went to the farmers’ market the other day and bought the biggest damn bunch of kale I had ever seen. Despite my efforts to shove it in my morning smoothies, I was barely making a dent in this puppy. When you have stuff in your fridge that you need to use up, may I… Continue reading Kale Casserole
On Friday I performed in a garage. I know, I’ve really made it big! But seriously, this is one of the best shows in the city. My buddy Helder runs an amazing stand-up comedy show out of his garage and it’s PACKED every week. It’s quite magical. As I was leaving he told me to… Continue reading SOUP!
My best friend Bonnie came to town this weekend. She arrived during brunch so I suggested breakfast burritos. Bonnie doesn’t eat eggs. Hm. Tofu scramble burritos? Perfect. I decided on chipotle, tofu, black bean burritos. THEY WERE SO GOOD. I couldn’t believe how tasty they were! Even meat eaters won’t turn their noses up at… Continue reading Tofu-Really Good Breakfast Burritos
I started last week with high hopes. Kinda. I made a salad! A version of the cobb salad, which is really a big F*%& YOU to salads. It traditionally has bacon, blue cheese, eggs, chicken, avocado, tomatoes on ice berg lettuce. HEALTHY. I made my own version of this using what I had in the… Continue reading Cobb-ish Salad n’ Coleslaw
Ok, now it’s time to get serious. You know how humans are destroying the earth and ruining our oceans? We’re a fun bunch of jerks, huh? You’re probably wondering what YOU can do to make this better. WELL, eating less meat would help (I know, I’m guilty of eating more meat than I should…) and… Continue reading Sustainable Fish!
I probably eat more meat than I should, so I tried my hand at homemade veggie burgers. I’ve made some very unsuccessful veggie patties in the past that have completely fallen apart and tasted like old carpet, so this time I used a recipe as a guide. http://www.milk-honey.co.uk/veggie-burgers/ This recipe is in grams (Ugh, such… Continue reading Veg Out Veg Burger
Are you craving cookies? I certainly was and due to my healthy obsession with Bulk Barn, I had just picked up oats, buckwheat flour and unsweetened coconut flakes that I could use to make some sweet, healthy treats. I didn’t use a recipe with these cookies, but I took a chance and they turned out… Continue reading Healthy Cookies
Hello my fellow food friends, This blog is being birthed on a very shaky train from Ottawa to Toronto. It’s a packed house comprising of mostly old people and kids. It smells like an old man stew. A handful of elderly musk, a pinch a dirty kids and a dash of stale train air. Each… Continue reading Chicken Chili when it’s Chilly
After just coming off a juice cleanse and not drinking for a month, I rewarded myself by cramming my body full of cheese at a Super Bowl party. My boyfriend and I had our inaugural meal at Milagro (which has my favourite brunch item) and a mimosa. Huevos Milagro is similar to huevos rancheros but… Continue reading Cheese Please!
Hello! I don’t mean to brag but I’ve really out done myself this week. I made food that I’ve never made before and it turned out better than I could have imagined. I am currently in Ottawa, writing this blog from my mother’s old Toshiba laptop. I’m not used to it so I keep making… Continue reading Peruvian Party
