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 […]

Cauliflower Cilantro Soup
When everywhere you turn people are sneezing and coughing, you know that it’s officially soup season. This year seems to be a particularly nasty year for viruses. I’m fighting back with soup. Cauliflower and cilantro may seem like an unusual flavour pairing, but they both offer high nutrient content as well as a nice colour […]
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 […]
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. The curry mix you use will make a big difference in the flavour and colour of the soup. Look for a curry that is mildly spicy, flavourful and […]
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 […]
Double Pumpkin Muffins with Chocolate Chips
Pumpkin muffins get gobbled up pretty fast around my house. They serve as snacks, part of lunch and dessert! I recently received a large bulk order of raw pumpkin seeds and decided to experiment with getting them into muffins. By grinding them into a grainy flour, they can substitute for some of the flour, but […]
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 […]
