This baked quinoa makes a delightful side dish, and really could be a meal on it’s own; maybe add some baked tofu, and a side salad to complete the meal. Lemony Baked Quinoa with Asparagus is super easy to make, with less than 5 minutes prep time, the hardest part is waiting for it to […]

Cinnamon Sugar Muffins
Do you dream about cinnamon sugar donuts? They are sugary, delicious and so not healthy. Up here in Canada, we call donut holes “Timbits”, which happens to be the name of one of our dogs – he looks a bit like a sour cream glazed donut hole – so you can imagine how much I […]
Chocolate Coconut Squares
The other day, I made these Raspberry Coconut Squares, and I loved them so much. I still have a few in my freezer, which will be perfect if anybody spontaneously shows up for afternoon tea… Or I will just continue defrosting them one by one and eating them myself – we’ll see. The coconut batter […]
Coconut Tofu Tacos with Sweet Potatoes and a Lime Cilantro Sauce
Dinner tonight was a hit with the kids, I made Coconut Tofu Tacos with Sweet Potatoes, and Lime Cilantro Sauce. It is not very often that both of the kids want to sit at the table and eat a second helping of their meal; but it happened and my preschooler even told me five times […]
Raspberry Coconut Squares
When I woke up this morning, I knew I wanted to bake something, the question was: “what should I bake?” So, I asked my kids what they would like to bake with me, and so we all decided to bake something pink. I initially thought we should bake some Beet Juice Sugar Cookies, but once […]
Apple Cinnamon Pancakes

Double Feature Tahini Dressing & Dip
This Tahini Dressing is actually a dual-use sauce. Use it fresh as a salad dressing or on top of your favourite taco, or let the dressing sit overnight in the fridge and it thickens up to become a super delicious dip for veggies! Want my advise? Use it for both! I make the dressing to […]
Mocha Chia Pudding
I often enjoy a smoothie bowl for breakfast or a midday snack, but sometimes an extra kick of caffeine is needed to help this busy mom get through the day. I had some left over coffee that I had kept in the fridge from the day before, so I decided to put it to use […]
Quinoa Flax Bread
I adapted this recipe from the recipe that came with my bread maker, for a basic whole grain loaf. My recipe makes approximately 1.5lb loaf, of vegan, whole grain bread, with quinoa and flax seeds. This bread is delicious on it’s own, and works great for sandwiches and toast. Here is my recipe for […]
