Tabouleh is such a nutritious versatile dish. It’s great as a side, a perfect addition to salad, and a super star on it’s own. Traditionally, tabouleh is made with cracked wheat. This version uses quinoa instead, making it gluten-free and high in protein.
Nut Free
Coconut Flour Double Chocolate Muffins
I love baking with coconut flour. Coconut flour is loaded with fibre and heart-healthy fat. Plus, it’s gluten-free, nut-free, and grain-free, so pretty much everyone can enjoy it!
Easy Homemade Baked Falafels
Falafels and I haven’t always been friends. Even when I was a vegetarian, I couldn’t get into falafels. Every one I tried was often too dry or tasted like cardboard. Sadly, it was looking a lot like the falafel train was going to leave without me. I wanted to like falafels, I really did. They’re…
Brown Rice Onigiri
One of my best and long-time friends is Japanese. When we were little, we’d often share parts of our lunches (doesn’t every grade school kid?). Sometimes, her mom would pack her onigiri, which are seaweed-wrapped balls or triangles of white rice filled with meat or vegetables. I always got so excited when she offered me…
Chickpea Sweet Potato Curry
Being sick could not have come at a better time. I had been feeling under the weather all last week, but as soon as my school break started, my body gave up and decided not to work anymore. My voice is pretty much non-existant. Better now then when my courses were running, right?

While most of mine was spent studying, catching up, and getting ahead on readings,…
5-Minute Avocado Basil Dressing
Sometimes, all a salad or a sandwich or a pile of sliced up raw veggies needs is a really good dressing to take it from ho-hum to absolutely marvellous. Lucky for your salads, sandwiches, and raw veggies, this avocado basil dressing is just the thing that’s needed to take them to that next flavour level….
Swiss Chard and Caramelized Onion Quiche
{ Jump to Recipe } • { } August is fast approaching it’s end, and soon enough I’ll be back at school, pouring over my textbooks and filling my brain with all sorts of new knowledge. (In all honesty though, I’m excited for school to start up again. A small part of me misses the routine…
Homemade Coconut Milk
When I was 10, my family and I travelled west to Thunder Bay for a reunion. One of the activities our hosts had planned was a trip to Old Fort William. There, I got the chance to milk a cow, and it was honestly one the neatest things I’ve done. Today though, we’re going to…
Aduki Bean Brownies
Hello all! It makes me wince reading the date of my last blog post…October 2015 was it?… 😳 Let’s just say I was busy burying my head in my books, which did pay off, so I’m happy I studied really hard during the year. That said, I have actually been busy in the kitchen. Since my…
