It’s hot outside. Some days have even hit 104F (I know I’m Canadian, but Fahrenheit is more dramatic in the summer). When it’s hot I lose all interest in things like hot stoves, kitchens and well really.. I don’t feel like eating. I exist on smoothies and salad. There are really only so … Continue reading

Mediterranean Medley (Easy Pasta Sauce)
My parents have been married for 26 years as of a week ago. I know, it’s impressive. Even more impressive is that everyone in my family (with the exception of my father) has to eat a restricted diet! I know I just used an exclamation mark. I am fully aware that it endows my … Continue reading

I have a knack for getting recipes right the first time. That isn’t me showing off (okay, it is ninety percent me showing off), it is more the reason I can’t draw very well. Confused yet? Wonderful! Let me explain.. When I was an innocent naive freshman in University (all … Continue reading

Mean Green Hemp Blueberry Pancakes with Banana Matcha Nice-Cream
Everything I am wearing is green except my socks. I don’t own green socks. I understand your disappointment in me, I’ll try to make it up to you with a really cool recipe or something. I don’t know. I’m really not that great at cooking. (Please tell me you read that as sarcasm, please. I’m … Continue reading
Beet This – Chocolate Cake From The Diva Dish
When I was a kid my mom was always hiding secret vegetables in our food. Spaghetti sauce? Secret squash. Casserole? Secret carrots. Secret spinach. Secret broccoli. As a kid I didn’t exactly appreciate my powerful palette — what kid wants to find all the secret vegetables? Not me. Like most kids I loved white bread, … Continue reading
