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 […]

Homemade Chicken Soup

When I recently came home from the hospital (bye,bye appendix) I craved soups. For the first week or so, I was very lucky to have caring friends and neighbours to drop food off almost daily. Two friends dropped off homemade chicken soup – both versions equally delicious and uplifting with some different ingredients. Their soups […]
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 […]
Quinoa Buckwheat Pancakes

If you have been looking for a gluten-free pancake recipe I encourage you to try this one. I am not going to lie, they are not light and fluffy but they are super tasty and super handy if there are any celiacs or gluten-sensitive folks among your friends and family members. It uses ingredients you […]
Nutritional Yeast Salad Dressing

Whenever I ask what I can bring to a dinner party the answer is usually salad. The reason our friends like my salads so much (I am not sure they are aware of this) is this salad dressing. I always vary the salad ingredients depending on the time of year but the dressing is usually […]
Homemade Almond Milk

Why? It is delicious and super easy to make. When I first tried homemade almond milk, I was surprised that it tasted nothing like commercially-made almond milk. I have since learned that most commercially-made almond milks contain an average of 2% of almonds compared to 25-30% in homemade almond milk – I would have […]
Chocolate Coconut Ice Cream Crackle Sauce

Last summer an amazing friend and cook introduced me to the magic of the chocolate coconut sauce. She took a glass jar, filled it halfway with dark chocolate chunks, added a pinch of salt and few tablespoons of coconut oil. She heated up the mixture, then stirred it up with some arm power, until it […]
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. […]
Spelt Pie Crust

This pie crust is ideal for quiche and savoury fillings. Most pie crust recipes tell you to refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before rolling out but I find with this recipe it is just as easy to roll out and place in pie plate right away and then refrigerate. Using a food processor, this […]
