It’s Tuesday, so it’s time for some Tasty Treats. I had a great time with all the apple recipes yesterday, but despite having a kitchen filled with freshly picked apples, I’m opting to make something with another autumn favourite – Pumpkin! I have really positive memories of pumpkin related baking...

So it’s MoFo’er Monday or at least what’s left of it, and this is the day I’ve decided to look through the past weeks posts and find recipes by other MoFo folks to make at home. You’d think after only two days, and so many people only starting up on...

I’m not Jewish, except by association. But I am a huge fan of exploring food traditions, and veganizing them whenever possible, especially when they are important to people that are important to me. I started thinking about what Rosh Hashanah dish I could bring to the family get together, and...

I was gifted a copy of Colleen Patrick-Goudreau’s new book The 30-Day Vegan Challenge as a speaker at the Vida Vegan Convention. Since then, I’ve taken my time reading through the advice and tips, trying out recipes, and genuinely enjoying the full colour photographs. This is more than a recipe...

On my way to Portland a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to visit a friend in Lawrence, Kansas. Now, upon hearing Kansas, I may have wrinkled my nose a bit (even though I shouldn’t have… I mean, I’m from the Canadian Prairies, and the first impression people seem...

The Vegan Month of Food (aka VeganMoFo) is coming up soon (okay it’s not for another couple of weeks, but I’m excited) and I’m trying to decide what to do (and I’m not the only one). Last year’s theme of vegan travel (and planning) was fun to do, and ended...

I’m not sure how it’s already Wednesday but something tells me this week is going to fly right by. It’s been a whirlwind of TIFF related activity, and getting immersed in several movies a day makes me feel like I’ve been travelling around the world. I had enjoyed Friday evening...

This time of year makes me incredibly nostalgic. I remember coming here and extending my Toronto visit for just a little bit longer because of the vegetarian food festival and TIFF, and then deciding to stay here at least semi-permanently. The days leading up to the TVA‘s Vegetarian Food Festival...
