I’m a huge fan of one-pot meals – especially on crazy weeknights when I’ve only got 30 minutes to get dinner on the table, and I don’t want to do a ton of washing up after. And since Tex-Mex is a favorite in our house, this skillet dinner is constantly […]
It’s fall in Ontario, which means brightly colored leaves (most of which are on the ground now), shorter days, and blustery, chilly days (and nights!) In other words, it’s soup season. There’s a famous kosher-style dairy restaurant here in Toronto that’s been owned and operated by the same family for […]

It’s the last long weekend of summer, and we’re making the most of it. The weather is a little bit cooler here this week (mid-70s most days), which is a welcome respite from the wicked heat we had for most of July and August, but also a reminder that the […]
It’s BBQ season! Unfortunately, Mother Nature hasn’t been the most cooperative lately. Half the country is trapped in an intense heat wave, and the other half drenched in rain. Neither are ideal situations for firing up 30,000 BTUs of heat. That’s why I love this indoor BBQ recipe. It’s perfect […]
Weekends are for slow cooking. Especially rainy weekends like we’re having today. Since Mother Nature isn’t interested in outdoor BBQs right now, I’m bringing the outside indoors with this vegan take on a Smoky BBQ Brisket. Smoky BBQ sauce, brown sugar, spices and caramelized onions give this seitan-based roast a […]
If you’ve got 20 minutes and a few pantry staples, you’ve got time to make this delicious Broccoli Cheddar Casserole for dinner tonight. It’s a one-pot dish that requires the barest minimum of effort to set up, and then cooks away happily on it’s own, leaving you time to do […]
Meatloaf, smeatloaf, double beetloaf. I LOVE meatloaf???Wait, what?I was totally Randy Parker as a small child. I was a picky eater who would happily have lived on PB sandwiches (no jam), and mac and cheese.And I despised meatloaf.My mother, however, insisted on making it often when I was a little […]
If you’re like me, you’ve almost always got parts of a cauliflower hanging around your fridge by the end of the week. I’m the only real fan here, so anytime it gets added to a dish, it’s in small quantities just for me. And I’m always looking for ways to […]
We woke up to a light dusting of snow this morning – not enough to really stick (it’s all gone now), but enough to remind me that winter is on its way.Of course, as I’m typing this, I’m seeing the weather forecast will hit 60F again by Friday, but it’s […]
