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 […]

After making this recipe, I wasn’t sure whether to call it breakfast, dessert, or a snack. So, I will leave that choice up to you […]
Anything you can make, I can make vegan. This has been my motto lately. There is honestly nothing that can’t be veganized. The problem with ‘veganizing’, though, is that trying too hard to turn a food vegan, generally means that you are moving away from a whole food plant-based diet. And a predominately WFPB diet […]
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. […]
I’m pretty sure everyone has those meals that just remind you of your childhood and family gatherings. That is this one for me. ALL the credit for this one goes to my mom and Oma. I should call it ‘Oma’s Potato Salad’ since my mom is also an ‘Oma’! This recipe is used by everyone […]
