Fantastic Baked Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

Ever since I was a child I remember loving stuffed peppers, stuffed cabbage, stuffed everything. With sour cream on top, as far as I’m concerned, you don’t need anything else. Unfortunately the peppers here in Halifax are not a cheap treat and that’s why I barely get the chance to make some of my favorite […]

Amazingly Easy Maple Garlic Roasted Vegetables

I found my youngest sitting in a laundry basket this week, as if it was the most comfortable thing in the world. She was reading something and commenting about it to herself. So I stand there (in the kitchen of course, where else?) and I hear her saying to herself “Reading Star – What? I […]

Delicious Baked Brown Rice and Vegetable Falafel

Do you like Falafel? I love it!! So imagine how happy I was when this next recipe turned just right! One taste was enough for me to understand that what it’s missing is a good fresh pita with chopped salad and tahini sauce, just perfect. Growing up in a place where falafel can be found […]

Date Night – Sweet Date, Coconut and Walnuts Energy Balls

I’ve been wracking my brains out, thinking about something for Valentine’s Day.

Whole Wheat Pizza Fingers

I’ve never been a fan of game days. I mean those days when a tournament starts or even the Olympics. Don’t get me wrong, I like sports. I used to play Tennis, watch Basketball and even F1 races. But I just don’t find it too interesting any more. I guess people mostly get excited about […]

Moist Quinoa Chocolate Muffins With Chocolate Ganache

When I opened my fridge yesterday I was pleased. Most of the leftovers were gone and the fridge was almost ready to be re-filled with food. The only leftover in it was a container with cooked red quinoa in it. After discovering a few days earlier, that cooked quinoa can be used in baked goods, […]

Mini Chicken Steaks with Fresh Herbs

It’s another cold, white day here in Halifax. Gosh I miss the sun! Just imagining myself lying on a nice warm sandy beach makes my heart warm. Yeah, snow is beautiful I’ll give you that, but time after time after time, it gets kind of boring and annoying. All the layers, the places you can’t […]
