Black Bean & Quinoa Salad

I was looking for something that would be perfect for making a head of time for lunches and quick meals on the go.

Roasted Garlic & Red Pepper Hummus

Hummus is super easy to make and it’s always impressive to tell people you made your own.

PB & J Thumbprints

This recipe elevates the traditional peanut butter and jelly to a whole new level. These cookies are honestly a life changing experience. I will never settle for a traditional peanut butter cookie again.

Asian Udon Noodles

The Teriyaki at school is so enticing and with the cold weather I just wanted a hot bowl to snuggle up to. I spent under $10 on a couple groceries that I didn’t have in the cupboard (some udon noodles, carrots, bok choy, green onion, mushroom and tofu).

Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce

I first tried this recipe was two years ago for the family Christmas and it was a big hit, especially with the kids. They automatically turned away from the vegetables and chose this not even realizing the goodness hidden in the sauce

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

Muffin tops aren’t always a bad thing…especially when they’re lemon poppy seed! The last month or two we’ve been featuring lemon poppy seed muffins at work and they’ve been flying off the shelves, which inspired me to make some of my own.

Pumpkin Spice Donuts with Cinnamon Sugar

I made these donuts two days ago because a friend of mine came back from spending the summer in Alberta and I was just craving some sort of donut all day at work, but working in fast food all the donuts have calorie counts equivalent to a whole meal! These donuts didn’t even make it until the next day, but were immediately gobbled up.

Chili Lime Tofu

Tofu is great because it can so easily take on any flavour simply by marinading it. This chili lime tofu is one of my favourites and an easy go to for some protein.

Peanut Noodles

Peanut Noodles with Chili Lime Tofu

A quick and easy recipe that’s great when you’re in the mood for something Asian inspired, but don’t want to splurge on takeout.

Chocolate Strawberry Tart

I figured I’d fit in one strawberry dessert before the end of the season and what goes better with strawberries than my all time favourite – chocolate!
