My husband made these. He researched. He checked out recipes which matched our CSA veggies. And, he came up trumps. This dish is delicious and good for you, too! A great way to enjoy the tail end of pepper season. This is adapted from allrecipes.com. Ingredients: 1 cup quinoa 1 cup water 2 red bell […]

Tomato soup was always my go-to comfort food. As tomato season draws to a close, the temperature drops (only to go back up again) and we have soooo many tomatoes from our CSA, it is time to try a new variation of an old favorite, and this one is delicious. The idea of raw soup […]

I love this. I could drink it all day long. It gives me a caffeine boost while also being good for me. The antioxidants from the green tea, the electrolytes from the coconut water, and other things I AM SURE!  Plus, it’s all creamy and gloopy and yummy to drink. This is inspired a Renee […]

Ah, summer is officially over and tomato season begins to wane. Fall is here and soon the leaves will prove it with their colourful display. So, what to do as the tomatoes go soft in the bowl (you don’t keep them in the fridge, do you? Uh oh). Well, I found this great recipe on […]

I am so excited about these! They are so easy to make, and they are deliciously healthy snacks. You can experiment with different seasonings, and you may end up having to double the recipe. Ingredients: 1 15oz tin,  chickpeas – organic, if you like (you can pick up four cans relatively cheaply at vitacost) sea […]

OMG – yes, I used that term – these fajitas were delicious. I always love the idea of fajitas in a tex-mex place but then I’m always, faintly, disappointed by the preponderance of sizzling onion and green pepper. None of that here.  This is adapted from New Vegetarian, by Celia Brooks Brown, which my sister […]

I have a mental block around these cashew-based ‘cheeses’, but I really like this one.  It’s great in a wrap with some veggies and lettuce! I noticed that it got sweeter the longer it stayed in the fridge. Is that just me, or have any you experienced that with cashew-based pastes? Post below! This is […]

OMG, these are off-the-charts, and they are raw! I can’t say that they are good for you  but they are full of chocolate-y goodness, when you are craving a nutella fix. Ingredients: 1 C raw hazlenuts 4 dates – seeds removed 1Tbs – raisins 3/4 C raw cacao powder 3 Tbs water (approx) 1 Tbs […]

I must admit, I was hesitant to delve into the world of kelp noodle,s but I thought a thick, tasty sauce would make it work. My fiendish plan worked. Even my daughter loves them. I haven’t yet done the hubby test. It is light and delicious but, also, filling. And raw! Blowing my own mind, […]

I thought I had created a disaster but, then I realized this recipe makes a fantastic base for so many other things. Add olive oil and you’ve got a delicious, garlicky dressing. Add to a tin(can) of organic tomatoes and you’ve got a yummy sauce for pasta. I added a frozen cube to some pesto […]
