When cookies are small, is it okay to have more of them? Discuss. I’m sure you’ll want to eat these tasty little cookies by the fistful once you get your hands on them. They’re arom...
Don’t you love it when you find a yummy-looking recipe and you already have all the ingredients to make it in your kitchen? That’s what happened to me with this bread. I can’t quite...
I probably should have called this ‘fridge and freezer scraps’ soup, as this recipe came about after I rummaged through the fridge, selected what was old or about to go off and turned it ...
You probably think I’m nuts. Sickness can be painful, ugly, stressful, agonizing, tragic, wretched, humiliating, sad. So what’s to be grateful for? Head on over to my guest post on the Love in the Ki...
I could eat butternut squash every single day. Not only is it sweet, comforting and creamy, but butternut squash is also packed with fibre, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients. Winter squash...
There’s a bakery in Seattle’s Pike Place Market that bakes monstrous, soft pumpkin cookies. Whenever I visited, I always made a beeline for them. I haven’t had one in years, but whe...
I cook a lot of things that don’t end up on this blog. Some dishes aren’t spectacular enough to share, while others are simply failed experiments. Most of the failures happen when I try t...
I’ll admit I was not crazy about these cookies at first. I don’t like protein powders and though I used one that was mild and neutral, the flavour still seemed a bit overwhelming. Slowly ...
This isn’t the fanciest snack on the block. It doesn’t have many bells or whistles, but it’s sturdy, reliable and gets you where you need to go. Kinda like that hand-me-down bike yo...
You all know that I am a precision cook. I find enjoyment and comfort in following recipes to the letter, as I fear failure when I venture off on my own. Since my time in Toronto, I’m more will...
This soup does not have the most striking hue of green. Some of you may find the colour pukey, while for others it may be reminiscent of that love-it-or-hate-it Dior dress Nicole Kidman wore to the O...
A significant portion of this granola was intercepted by my belly on its way to the storage jar. It all started with the decadent, heavenly aroma that permeated the house. Then I began gingerly break...
I hate to sound like a broken record, but salads are not my favourite thing. If you twist my arm I’ll admit they’re growing on me, though they still remain a few rungs above extreme dista...
Last week, the team at the Love in the Kitchen Academy had a little farewell lunch for me at a well-known Toronto restaurant called Fresh. I had the macrobiotic bowl, and haven’t been able to s...
Everyone wants to peek inside a nutritionist’s kitchen, right? Don’t deny it. We have an innate curiosity about how the healthy folks live and want to know their secrets so we can copy th...
Don’t read any further if you’re Irish. You might be offended by this twisted distortion of a traditional favourite. I’ve become obsessed with mashed cauliflower. It’s so crea...
To tell you the truth, my daily meals are boring. With my hectic schedule, there isn’t much variety in the spice of my life right now. I stick to a lot of hearty soups, stews and steamed veg mi...
I’ve always been a quick thinker. My career in journalism, public relations and communications taught me to be efficient, alert, absolute. Since I left my job and returned to school, I’ve...
Do you ever marvel at people who can breezily turn down ooey gooey baked goods or a melty slice of pizza without batting an eye? For many of us, sticking to that two-week cleanse isn’t so tough. It’s...
Onions are one of those staple foods that I always have on hand. I can’t imagine a time when I created meals without them, but the truth is I didn’t buy, cook, or even eat onions until I ...
Are you a grocery store tourist? I definitely am. I love checking out local markets, health food stores and shops to drool over their products, especially when I’m in a new city. Though Toronto...
Most of my readers know that this blog is all about my adaptations or imitations of droolworthy recipes. As I’ve been interning in a cooking school where recipes are creative, fluid and spontan...
We’ve all read stories in glossy magazines that feature people who drop 50 pounds, or quit smoking, or banish sugary treats, or give up coffee and won’t stop gushing about how amazingly fantastic the...
Remember Sesame Snaps? They’re still in grocery stores, usually by the checkout, priced around the 50-cent mark or offered at three for a dollar. When I was diagnosed with osteoporosis, I often snack...
Last week, we had a pizza party at the Love in the Kitchen Academy. (I know what you’re thinking: what a rough work environment. It’s grueling, folks. Grueling.) We made the best pizza cr...
Raw kale isn’t for everyone. It’s a heartier, bitter green that most people prefer sautéed or tossed into stews. I thought I didn’t like raw kale, but I was wrong. Turns out you jus...
When I eliminated gluten from my life a few years ago, I instantly felt better. There was less bloating. Fewer stomach cramps. And better - personal spoiler alert – poops. Instead of feeling li...
Got leftovers? Check out my guest over at the Love in the Kitchen blog for ways to reduce your food waste – saving you time and money. And there’s a fantastic giveaway at the end of the p...
Marmalade is such an old-fashioned word, don’t you think? It sounds like something elderly characters in a southern novel would spoon over their afternoon biscuits. Well, I’m ready to get...
