Foraged Mushrooms and Polenta
This is the story of a girl who went on a hike in her backyard. Last weekend was our Canadian Thanksgiving. I ended up being a rare situation where I had 4 days off in a row with no classes to teach, and because my …

Seasonal
Christmas Eve Fondue
I’m sure all of you have your own family-centric holiday traditions. Well, one of mine is a Christmas Eve fondue. I do love to fondue… I mean, c’mon, what’s not to like? Lovely, soft pieces of bread, dipped into warm, gooey cheese. You really can’t …
Christmas Gifts for Foodies–Gadgets
‘Tis the season! Christmas is coming, and I wanted to help you out by letting you know about the hottest items out there this year for the Foodie on your list (or perhaps yourself?). I’ll have a few of these over the next couple of …
Pumpkin Creme Brûlée with Maple Syrup
Every once in a while, as a food blogger, you discover something new that you just can’t help fall in love with. I should say up front that I am in no way being paid to endorse this product. I just think it’s the bomb.com, …
Asian-Inspired Soba Noodle Salad
It’s hot. Who wants to cook? Not me. I’m craving fresh, cool, crunchy vegetables, instead. Minced green herbs that pack a punch. And a dressing that has a fiery afterglow. This Asian-Inspired Soba Noodle Salad is one of my go-to salads in the summer. I …

Vegan Panna Cotta with Blueberry-Balsamic Compote
Earlier this summer, I fell in love with panna cotta. Panna cotta is like creme brulee’s country cousin; it’s still a creamy, pudding-like dream, but it doesn’t require eggs. It’s thickened, instead, with gelatin. Now, gelatin makes me a little nervous. I’m unsure where exactly …
“Kitchen Sink” Salsa
Summer is ending. The kids are back in school, and we are on the cusp of fall. I’ve even seen a few leaves… While I’m not overjoyed at losing my freedom and bike rides to the beach, I’m really excited that classes are starting up …
Curried-Coconut Vegetable Soup
Whoa! Where did January go?? Well, I don’t know about you, but mine was stuffed. Teaching twice as many classes as usual, preparing for The Wellness Show, oh, and some personal business as well. Somehow the month just slipped by, and me no posty. But …
Cream-Cheese Layered Pumpkin Loaf
Fall. Cozy layers. Pumpkin. These things all seem to go together, don’t they? So, it makes sense to make a pumpkin loaf that layers in cream cheese. Right? Who’s with me? Michael and I made our annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch last week, and …
