Red Lentil and Carrot Flatbread

This chickpea flatbread is one of my favourite recipes. I could eat a whole pan of it in less than 24 hours. Scratch that. Full disclosure: I have eaten the entire thing in less than 24 hours. But this flatbread? Well, it may be a new contender for being stuffed in my face the quickest. [...]

Lemon Poppyseed Biscuits

The original intention here was to create fluffy lemon poppy seed muffins. But the batter didn’t rise in the oven, so I decided to alter the name to lemon poppy seed biscuits instead. Hey, if The Artist Formerly Known as Prince and Puff Daddy/P. Diddy can make name changes, then so can I. After my [...]

Vegan Pumpkin Muffins

It’s that time of year again. There is plenty to love about the Fall food season – squashes, carrots, potatoes, leeks, plums, pears, apples. Oh, the apples! The farmers market in my neighbourhood has about a zillion varieties. No exaggeration. So it may seem odd that I’ve created a recipe using canned pumpkin pie mix, [...]

Cinnamon Raisin Swirly Bread

Cocoa Coconut Muffins

Are you a grocery store tourist? I definitely am. I love checking out local markets, health food stores and shops to drool over their products, especially when I’m in a new city. Though Toronto isn’t exactly ‘new’ to me, I have been away for a long time and plenty has changed in my absence. I’ve [...]

Six Ways to Top Your Pizza

Last week, we had a pizza party at the Love in the Kitchen Academy. (I know what you’re thinking: what a rough work environment. It’s grueling, folks. Grueling.) We made the best pizza crust I’ve ever had (adapted from this chickpea socca recipe) and went to town creating the best topping combinations. The result? Six amazing [...]

Banana Walnut Bread

A few months ago, my 88-year-old grandmother broke her hip. Thankfully, she’s okay, but she was very frustrated that wasn’t able to immediately leap out of bed after surgery. So I emailed my mother a few nutritional suggestions that might help things along. This is the response I got in return: “Grandma says to tell [...]
