Poor brussels sprouts - they've always had such a bad rap. It's too bad because they're actually delicious, even candy-like when roasted in a touch of maple syrup. This recipe is my new go-to side for Thanksgiving and Christmas meals. It's the perfect side to meaty...
Vegetables
Roasted Vegetable Soup
Hearty, belly-warming, satisfying soup. That's what I've been craving ever since the weather started to get chilly. When fall comes, I naturally move away from cold salads and try to get my fill of veggies with soups instead. The colder weather and dark nights...
Tuna Avocado Hummus Sandwich
Classics. Perfect anytime, anywhere, and never go out of style. Here's a healthy update to the classic tuna salad sandwich. Bye bye mayo. Hello avocado. This version is full of protein and good fats, is heart healthy, and loaded with lots of flavour. I've named...
Pasta Alla Norma
This pasta is a simple and easy dinner that's satisfying and ready in about 20 minutes. For many folks, school is starting soon (where the heck did summer go??) and having some throw together meals in the rotation is always key. This vegetarian meal is full of yummy...
Mushroom and Herb Polenta

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...
Sausage and Kale Pasta
Kale's so hot right now. Right? Or are we over it? I mean it is kind of a winter green, but technically it's spring now. Kidding. Regardless of what's hot or not, or how unseasonably cold it still is outside (spring, where are you?!?), kale is tasty, full of...
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...
