West End Food Co-op: Fermentation 101 – Sauerkraut

Last week we went to the West End Food Co-op’s Fermentation 101 workshop and made Sauerkraut with nice big green heads of local Ontario cabbage. The class was taught by James Partanen and I think JC and I took a lot away from it. So how do you make sauerkraut? (the...

April – Clean Thyself #30DaysofGOOD Challenge

When I was still working from home the house was much cleaner than it is now. I’ll admit, spending 10-12 hours outside of the house, and then coming home… the first thing on my mind isn’t to organize the pantry. But it’s time for some spring cleaning, and conveniently GOOD...

Vegan Brunch at Rise Above in St. Catharines, ON

First of all, what took me so long to have brunch at Rise Above? How? Why? It’s awesome. If I had a drivers license and an endless supply of gasoline, I would drive down there every week just for some brunch (though the GoBus is still an option…) This past...

Healthy Fit Vegan Action – Training for the WWF CN Tower Climb.

So sometime earlier in March (okay March 5th) I had expressed a feeling of malaise, and just generally not feeling as healthy as I could be. I made several positive changes, but not all of the goals I’ve set out to complete have happened. I’ve been picking better quality lunches...

The Vegan Drop-in Dinner at the Depanneur – Kalmplex’s Hearty Jamaican Soup

Another day, another Friday night vegan drop-in dinner at the Depanneur (1033 College St, Toronto.) Last week’s drop-in dinner with Emily Z was reason enough to go for a second visit. This might turn into a thing, it seems to be heading in that direction.

Vegan Food Swap – Canadian Edition.

We had a good run with the Vegan Food Swap. A couple of great years and a lot of great connections were made. Unfortunately this food swap is no more. But it’s not good bye, it’s just so long. I’m tempted to try and organize a local Toronto one at...

Things I love Thursday – Mostly Food, Sometimes Company.

Today was a great day. I discovered a way to streamline a process that had otherwise been taking hours to complete at work, and then the rest of the day’s good stuff happened. – Food Truck Eats – Sadie’s Diner and Juice bar (with Donuts from Rise Above) – Dufferin...

Tiffinday Vegan Lunch Delivery – More please

Tiffinday was started sometime back in mid 2010 by Seema Pabari as a vegan, tiffin-based lunch time delivery service for downtown Toronto. You put in your order on the website before 3pm the day before, and then you get a nice hot lunch the next day sometime between 11:30am and...

My first taste of The Depanneur supper club – a drop-in dinner.

I had vaguely known about the Rusholme Park Supper Club before last week, but I hadn’t checked them out. A friend from Saskatoon, my former Rosebud Burlesque instructor, and former Toronto resident connected me with a local veg foodie – Emily Z, and it seems she is often the vegan...
