If you have porridge most winter mornings, like I do, you will enjoy mixing it up with this baked oatmeal recipe. This is also the best made-ahead breakfast ever. Super easy to make and very satisfying…otherwise it would not be on our site. Feel free to play with different nut/fruit combinations. I usually use whatever […]

Creamy Thai Lemongrass Soup
One more soup post! January must be soup month since I can’t stop talking about and sharing soup recipes with friends. During the winter months I make soup two (sometimes three) different kinds of soups every week. I find soup the perfect way to start a meal in the winter and it makes the best leftovers […]
Almond Coconut Granola
I first started making granola at home thanks to my friend Megan (and fellow Sunday Cooking Collective founder) who shared a simple and tasty recipe with me many years ago – Thank you Megan! After many tweaks and additions over the years, this is my go-to granola recipe. I make granola every two weeks or […]

Vegetable Stock
Rainy days are perfect for making stock…and we have had plenty of rain lately so I currently have a few batches of stock in my freezer. Stocks add a lot of flavour and body to soups,sauces and other dishes. They can also be used to cook grains for extra nutrients and flavour. Vegetable stock is […]
Curried Squash Soup
This is the perfect soup to stay healthy, nourished and warm over the winter. The ingredients are readily available, inexpensive and the soup is easy to prepare.

French Apple Cake

It is a great dinner party bring-along and an amazing special mid-afternoon snack with tea. The original recipe came from Around My French Table by Dorie Greenspan. It recommends using […]
Homemade Sports Drink
An all-natural, super refreshing blend of lemon, honey and electrolytes. This drink contains carbohydrates, electrolytes and minerals to provide you with energy and keep your body chemistry balanced on a hot summer day or when you are exercising. I adapted it from a Labouraid recipe my wonderful pre-natal yoga teacher shared with me years ago. […]
Spicy Carrot Cashew Dip
Get your chips and crackers ready! After spending too much money on cashew dips at our local farmer’s market I decided it was time to come up with my own recipe. As much as I like my family to eat their veggies, I couldn’t watch the pricey spreads disappear in under five minutes. After a […]
Black Bean Quinoa Salad
This is recipe became a warm-weather staple at our house once I discovered that my kids really like it. This means that I can send it to school in a container and the container comes back empty. Success! A colourful protein-rich salad full of flavour that goes well as a side dish with tacos, grilled […]
Spring Brunch
Spring in our region arrived late for brunch. Really late. We imagined ourselves having brunch on the patio, the kids playing in the fort under fresh blossoms. However, even though it did rain, we brought some flowers inside and enjoyed the colours and flavours of spring, if not the sun and breeze we were hoping […]
