Loaves, like burgers, can be tricky when you’re vegetarian. Too often I end up with something that’s either dry and bready or moist and mushy. Neither are particularly appealing. Well this here recipe gets it right (phew!) and it’s packed full of flavour with a trio of fresh herbs. Serves a family of 4 Total […]
This pumpkin obsession knows no limits and there’s only one way out: by cooking through it. Here it is integrated into a household favorite – dahl. What makes this dish extra special (aside from the pumpkin, of course) is its unique blend of spices, taken from the kitchen of Juicy Lotus Cafe and the pages […]
I tried for a REALLY long time to like baba ghanoush. In theory it always sounded good: yummy roasted eggplant mashed with garlic and spices — what’s not to love? I’d dip and I’d dabble here and there but never bought into all the hoopla. Until last night! Here’s the recipe that has me (and […]
Shake off the cold with this heartwarming bowl o’ soup. Creamy white beans and a medley of oven roasted veggies make this dish oh-so-inviting while spinach and sweet basil add a touch of freshness. Yum! Makes 4 adult-sized portions Ingredients 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided 1/2 a butternut squash, peeled, cored & diced […]
October has me all about pumpkins. I particularly love them baked into things and while us North Americans are used to seeing this squash in sweet treats like pumpkin pie, here’s a recipe that explores its savory side. Makes 2 1/2 dozen mini muffins Ingredients 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing […]
I’m obsessed with these muffins! 1) they contain pumpkin and 2) they contain maple. 3) they’re miniature – making them the perfect size for babies and toddlers. Actually, they’re the perfect size for us big kids too; two delicious bites and they’re gone. This recipe took 3 tries to get right and the original inspiration […]
Omelettes and scrambled eggs are a weeknight go-to for many busy parents, ourselves included. But you can only eat so many eggs before you feel kinda egged out. Introducing the tofu scramble! A staple in many vegetarian and vegan households, it’s worth a shot if you’re tired of the same old. Plus it’s speedy quick […]
I love Donna Hay’s No Time to Cook cookbook. True to it’s name, it has tons of simple dinner ideas that are deceptively delicious. The majority of her recipes incorporate meat, fish or seafood but they’re easily adaptable to vegetarian cuisine. Her Baked Pumpkin and Pancetta Risotto is a favorite in our house. Only hold the […]
Potato pancakes were a favorite of mine growing up. My Oma (Grandma) would make them from scratch, served with great dollops of sour cream. Mmmmmm… To this day, latkes are one of the few ways I actually enjoy eating potatoes. Without further ado, here’s my oma’s old-country recipe with a few baby-friendly adaptations. Serves 2 […]
This cozy meal is perfect for cool fall days. Fresh carrots, parsnips and squash add a warm sweetness to the dish while heaps of cumin, coriander and smoked paprika keep things savory. It’s a new family favorite that I even served to a friend for lunch today. Proof that baby food doesn’t have to be […]
