We've been eating vegetarian a few times a week and I've been experimenting with satisfying, simple, meatless meals. I'm not a vegetarian by any means, but I enjoy eating meatless meals quite often, especially when those vegetarian meals are cheesy, herb-filled...

Brie Pear Walnut Honey Flatbread
Sweet, salty, gooey, and crunchy. This flatbread has a combination of ingredients that are delicious on their own, but when combined, are pure heaven. This recipe is an adaptation of a popular menu item from a little brunch place in Little Italy/Portugal in Toronto...
Grilled Zucchini with Herb Dressing
Here's an easy side for your next barbecue or weeknight dinner. This flavourful herb-filled dressing, which is a cross between pesto and salsa verde with a hint of Caesar dressing, is versatile and great on grilled vegetables, chicken, steak, or fish. The best part...
Guacamole with Pomegranates
Are you thinking 'What the what?! Pomegranates in guacamole? This Chinese girl from Canada is crazy.' Seriously, I don't blame you but I swear this is the real deal. I'll always remember my first authentic Mexican meal after moving to Arizona at Barrio Cafe...
Fruit and Coconut Water Smoothie
It's officially spring and I'm feeling the urge to lighten up, especially after a weekend of epic Easter eating. It's time to bust out the blender and get my shake on. My go-to version is mixed berry and mango, but just about anything you like would probably work...
Blueberry Buckwheat Waffles
I live for my weekends. For me, nothing could be more wonderful than sleeping in, snuggling under my pile of blankets. If I could be a fairy tale character, I would be cross between Sleeping Beauty who slept for 100 years and the Princess and the Pea, where I sleep...
3 Ingredient Chocolate Mousse (Dairy & Egg Free)
Do you prefer going out to eat or staying in? I love both. Sure it's nice to be waited on, and no clean up is always a good thing, but sometimes you just want something exactly the way you want it. And eating at home can definitely allow for that. You can make...
Emily’s Butternut Squash & Carrot Soup
It's kind of cold out there these days with no signs of an early spring despite what the groundhogs predicted. You know the cold I mean right? The kind where your organs feel like they're shutting down and liquids in your eyeballs feel like they're freezing over. ...
Roasted Fingerling Potatoes
Ever since the new year started, I've sort of been on a lucky cooking streak. New recipe attempts and even old favourites were turning out yummy. However, as of late, I have entered into a bit of a slump. Friday, my sticky rice came out bland, and well, not really...
Tuscan Kale Salad with Currants and Parmesan
Have you ever ordered something in a restaurant and swooned with every delicious mouthful? And then wondered how they made it so delicious, even long after the meal was over. I bet that you have experienced this feeling, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't over a salad. ...
