I love beets. I only really started eating them when I used to babysit in NYC. I have a distinct memory of feeding the child beets and then later freaking out that his pee was red. I’m pretty sure that I called the parents who were on their weekly date because […]
When I made pulled pork the other day, I thought it would be fun to make a potato salad to go along with it. Problem is, I rarely make or even eat potato salad. It’s not something that I usually get at restaurants except for when I do my yearly KFC […]
Side dishes are great! Some nights I wish I could just make 3 or 4 different side dishes for dinner and call it a night. In fact, one of my favourite dinners was at Westville in NYC where I ordered a platter of all side dishes. SO GOOD.
Side dishes allow you […]
A few weeks ago I did a post about Quick and Easy Weeknight Meals that a lot of people found helpful. I figured why not give some love to my non-carnivorous friends by suggesting some great vegetarian recipes too? Here are 6 quick and easy vegetarian meals that are great for weeknight suppers and […]

A few months ago I posted about my trip to One Love Vegetarian restaurant where I finally got to try their famous corn soup. It was delicious and I could totally eat that all the time.
Since corn has been so fantastic this summer I decided to make the soup […]
Consider this an ode to the end of summer. The nights are getting cooler. The sun is setting a bit earlier. Summer is on it’s way out. Soon the market will be filled with nothing but root vegetables. Le sigh.
With all that in mind I decided to head over to the […]
It’s not surprise that I love granola. I’ve blogged about it a bunch of times (just type in granola in the search field at the top). Granola is one of those things that I can never find just right in the packaged version. As someone with a serious aversion to raisins I’m […]
