This week has been absolutely insane in the most beautiful and terrifying way. It kicked off to a fantastic start with me receiving a fantastic job offer! It happened so quickly and it’s everything that I was looking for and more. I actually can’t wait to work! I don’t want to go into too many details…

Chanterelle Scalloped Potatoes
Both Rich and I hate mushrooms. Even when they’re near us we’re like… Which makes me feel bad because as a vegan I feel that I should love them. I find that mushrooms are the go-to dish for the vegans at weddings, dinners, or holiday feasts. Thus I am not familiar with the mushroom species…
Ah-Ha Hash
I dedicate this dish to Oprah because it gave me an ‘Ah-Ha!’ moment. For the most part we either have pancakes or hash browns (or as my father calls them: Browns-Hash…don’t ask) with fresh fruit & veggies for breakfast. Then I saw a photo of hash browns with avocado in it…UM WHAT? It had never occurred to me that…
Tofu & Veggie Pot Pie
Today was British Columbia’s very first Family Day! Since I had the day off and some time I decided to tackle something that’s been on my vegan bucket list for a while now: a vegan version of chicken pot pie. I used to love chicken pot pie! But good lord, have you ever loved something…
Vegan ‘Clam’ Chowder
It’s another cloudy/rainy day in Vancouver (pretty much goes without saying) and I’m still recovering from last night which was AWESOME! If you’re in Vancouver then you have to check this out. How have I lived here my whole life and never done this? Kino Cafe has Flamenco dancing on Wednesday-Sunday nights and there’s no…
Potato Leek Soup
Leeks have always confused me, like aren’t they just large green onions? I always wanted to buy some but really had no idea what to do with them. But I was feeling adventurous and got some this week thinking that it would force me to figure out something do with them. I ended up finding…
Smashed Baked Potatoes and Sweet Parsley Salad Dressing
Happy Thanksgiving Canadians!! Yesterday we headed over to my mom’s for an amazing Thanksgiving dinner where we drank our share of wine and planned out our Christmas. (It’s never too early!) Mom’s dinner consisted of corn on the cob, a fresh arugula salad, and ‘smashed’ baked potatoes. Here’s how she made the potatoes: first she…
You say Potato I say Tomato
I grabbed these awesomely sweet baby potatoes at the Living Naturally Fair at Whole Foods Market this past weekend (they were being sold by the farmers themselves!): I was wondering what to do with them besides popping them in my mouth while I watched the first season of Downton Abbey when I remembered that I…
Chickpea Potato Soup
It’s officially fall in Vancouver. The weather has a bit of a bite in it and beach volleyball is over. I got one last night on a patio with Beth last week and am ready to embrace autumn leaves and costume planning for Halloween! Saying goodbye to Summer in Vancouver with artichoke hearts, dark chocolate,…
Easy Potato Salad
I was in a super good mood when I came home tonight, first of all I got the photobooth photos back from our wedding and spent a good couple of hours looking through them and laughing to myself: Photobooth by Kelly Kaye Photography I was in such a good mood that I also decided to…
Marinated Tofu over Salted Asparagus and Thyme Mashed Potatoes
I know I’ve made dishes like this before but it’s only because it’s so freakin’ good! I started with a bed of thyme mashed potatoes. I (just add some fresh herbs to my usual mashed potatoes recipe which is some Earth Balance Butter, a dash of salt, a tsp of white wine vinegar and as…
Vegan Grilling: Spicy Corn, Planked Burgers, and Lime Oregano Potatoes
After the wedding we had about 8 pounds of sliced limes and lemons leftover, so we’ve been having citrus drinks and meals ever since in a desperate attempt to not waste any food. I decided to roast some potatoes with some salt, garlic, fresh lime (of course!) and oregano to go with my very much…
