Vegetarian Lentil Meatballs

These have a decidedly Italian flavour and work well with your favourite tomato-based sauce. Leftovers, with sauce, make really nice veggie meatballs subs.

Cauliflower and Tofu Curry

My curry love aside, most curries are veggie filled bowls of healthy goodness making them a smart mom choice for family dinner. This quick Cauliflower and Tofu Curry is no exception. My favourite thing about this dish is its incredible simplicity – hardly more than 5 ingredients (none too exotic) that come together to make something just really good.

Creamy Tomato Mac and Cheese Bake

One of my favourite things about the cold weather is that I feel like I have all the reasons to make creamy and cheesy pasta dishes – like this one – also a February recipe. I have permission. It’s expected and needed. It’s cold and we need...

Slow Cooker Black Bean and Barley Burritos

I think we all know how much I love taco / burrito recipes and I really love when they can be made in my crockpot. This is super quick for busy weeknights.

Sweet Potato and Kale Tortilla Soup

This soup is fun to eat and sweet with a little bit of a kick (very little, just enough) and full of beautiful, colourful veggies. I’m just so please about this. And then you can top your bowl like a taco or a heaping plate of nachos! Seriously, best soup ever.

Chickpea Cacciatore

A vegan version of an classic italian stew. Chickpeas, sundried tomatoes and artichokes in a rich sauce simmered all day in the slow-cooker

Freezer Black Bean Fajita Burritos

What I do like to have in my freezer are single serve things. Things that I can grab on my way out the door when I don’t have time to put together a lunch for myself. Because a day without lunch is just not a good day.

Roasted Sweet Potato Frittata

Frittatas are one of my favourite ways to do eggs for dinner or for a late lunch on the weekend. I find them less fussy than omelets and easier than Quiche since there is no crust to deal with. But still impressive and satisfying. They also do just as well served at...

Roasted Butternut Soup with Coconut Milk

For those busy days when you want that I slaved in the kitchen all day bowl of goodness but didn’t have all day to slave away in the kitchen.

Easy Seafood Stew
