It took me a while to find my favourite method of breading. I tried to ‘veganize’ my mom’s method of breading schnitzel with garbanzo egg but it just wouldn’t stick. But, batter breading is my new fave! Not only is this recipe vegan, it’s also entirely oil-free. Can you make breaded cauliflower gluten free? I […]
This is one of my favourite soup recipes!! Who doesn’t like a warm, hearty squash soup!? It’s so easy and delicious. The roasted garlic and the addition of the ginger makes it ultra healthy and mega delicious. What is the secret to a good butternut squash soup? The secret is not really a secret at […]
What can I use instead of egg for my omelette? There are several egg replacers out there now. Being plant-based/vegan is much easier now than it was ten years ago. There are SO many options now for everything, including egg replacers that you can buy in a carton and fix yourself up some delicious omelettes. […]
I’m not an expert by any means in Indian cuisine, other than the fact that I LOVE eating it. I’ve been to India a few times, where I fully enjoyed authentic Indian food and became obsessed. The various spices and flavours are so unique and unlike any other food. I make Indian food quite often […]
Anything you can make, I can make vegan. This has been my motto lately. There is honestly nothing that can’t be veganized.

How to make Butternut Squash and Lentil Soup This is by far one of my favourite soups. It’s warming and hearty, and reminiscent of my mom’s lentil soup. The butternut squash broth adds thickness and flavour, and the lentils add heartiness and protein! This one is simple, but requires pre-roasting the butternut squash with onions. […]
Let’s talk research studies. Many scientific experiments have proven over a very long time that animal proteins are associated with an increased risk of several different types of diseases. It’s still mind blowing to me that people are not made more aware of the research findings but that’s a whole other story! Eggs have a […]
This kind of a recipe is quite unusual for me in that I generally don’t like to replicate meaty foods. Even before switching to a plant-based diet, I just didn’t like the texture or taste of meat. That might be why I’m not a big fan of using jackfruit as a meat replacement. I’ve tried […]
Twenty six days into my June Friendly Challenge, and things are going well. Every June, and every November, I generally challenge myself to some kind of health challenge, whether it’s to exercise more, or to abstain from refined sugar, or drink more water. This June, I kicked it up a notch and decided to go […]
