A few things I have been making in the Bradley kitch… Carrot-zucchini-apple muffins. So much produce. Curiously bright green sauce! Parsley-tahini sauce (adapted from a Veganomicon recipe). Just about ANYTHING tastes good dipped in this. Rice crackers, veggie sticks, roasted potatoes, strawberries? Hahahaha no. Wednesday dinner for la famille: basic chili from How It All […]

Crunch time is upon us! And all I wanna do is bakebakebake. Plus spring has suddenly arrive and long bike rides are calling my name. After Thursday I can relax a bit but until then, must finish two papers and “large amounts of useless data” assignment…woof! Round One: Gorilla cookies from Wanda’s Pie in the […]
This tangy green creation will spice up just about any salad. Dill tahini sauce from the mighty Veganomicon: Bowls full of grains/veggies are my fave. Wheaberries, sweet potato, golden beets, grated carrot, and bits of falafel: Sorry about the icky photos. I want to show my weird (yet delicious) veg creations but they always look […]
Hey, I made dinner and it wasn’t in a bowl-full-of-veggies-and-grains format! Whoopwhoop. Shepherd’s Pie from How It All Vegan. Obviously not so vegan with the addition of cheese on top. I also made some dill-icious avocado-tofu dip. Dang this stuff is good, even though it may be a bit scary-looking to the uninitiated. I used […]
Oh hey, we’ve got some snowy happiness in Toronto! Rooster, my #1 weekend coffee spot! I have been enjoying cold-weather walks around Riverdale, High Park, and the ravines near where we live. Thinking of heading to Ward’s Island next weekend, perhaps avec mes patins! *** I made some very gingery ginger snaps for a friend […]
Second term is off to a decent start! I was a bit shocked to find out there are PhD students FROM FRANCE in the graduate french lit seminar I’m enrolled in…which makes me nervous and somewhat incompetent as I’m the only student from outside the French department and clearly not a francophone. I will stick […]
I have a feeling I’ll be making lots of muffins this month…we finally got a proper tin and they’re just so easy to put together for quick breakfasts. I’m thinking upcoming flavours might be pumpkin-cranberry, apple oatmeal, carrot pineapple, lemon with currants…y tant d’options. These are blueberry banana muffins (with pecans for good measure) […]
It’s snowing outside, the family is together, and I am in the mood for skating, tobogganing, winter walks, and baking various sweets, duh. I have also been sleeping so much better than usual – yey! Vegan ginger snaps: Look at those big chunks of crystallized ginger. I gave some away to friends and […]
Mmmmm weekend morning cappuccino (from Jimmy’s Coffee): I like this place a lot. It’s tiny though, so be prepared to hang out on the front patio! I made more Carrot Pineapple Sunshine muffins! Must continue spreading joy through baking. Carrot + pineapple + raisins + flaxseed + coconut = fruity, healthy treats. I also made […]
Don’t you love recipes with extra cute names? The recipe (from the Veganomicon) says: “Bring some happy-fun-time-pineapple-carrot joy to your dismal-grey-sad morning”, and that is precisely what I did. Rah rah! Some of my favourite muffin ingredients are shredded carrot, unsweetened coconut, craisins, and flaxseed, and these have alllll of them. Muffins are great because […]
