Since Vegan Month of Food (MoFo) 2012 is just around the corner I feel like I need to start getting back into the routine of regular posting. Last weekend I spent a couple of hours brainstorming themes and planning recipes. If you’ve never participated in Vegan MoFo before it might sound quite daunting to plan [...]

Can biege be mind-blowing? More recipe testing for Manifest Vegan
I do believe that it is best to eat a rainbow of brightly coloured foods. I love salads and smoothies. I do. But, sometimes when you’re testing recipes with a looming deadline you have to group things by ingredients to get the most from that big bag of xanthum gum, know what I mean? Here [...]
Testing ridiculously good vegan recipes

Although many things slow down in the summer, I am not one of them.br /br /Despite all the fun of running, swimming, working, writing and researching I managed this week there was also a lot of recipes testing taking place in my tiny condo [...]

What a week!
Can you feel it? The sunshine? The heat? The happiness? Yes! This week I wore dresses covered in flowers, went running before 6 am, and ate tons of local greens thanks to my CSA. This is the time of year that my city really comes to life. I went to a Brendan Brazier‘s book launch [...]
Trying, Testing and Training
I have heard a lot of grumbling this week about “January Joiners”, people who show up at the gym for the first few weeks of the year as a result of well-intentioned resolutions. I understand the annoyance. When you get up all year long at 5:30 – you’d like to find a free treadmill waiting [...]
Recipe Testing and Bake-Off Planning
Friday night could not come fast enough this week. It has been busy, hot and irritating. I think I’m feeling some post-vacation blues while also being enthusiastically motivated to change the world (and my life) after all the Vegetarian Summerfest inspiration. While I mull over my next steps, I’m working through the practical tasks at-hand [...]
Gift-worthy vegan gravy, protein-packed tabouli, and swiftly sliced strawberries
O’ Canada Patriotic Pie
Busy with Joy.
Last night I was catching up with a good friend and she said “you sound really happy”. You know, she was right. The funny thing is nothing significant has changed in my life, other than my perspective, but I am feeling incredibly blessed lately. The past three years have been the toughest I’ve ever faced.

Dishing up some Bliss
My office is moving this Friday and the G20 descends upon my city in a matter of days, so I’m living with some chaos in my life. During the day, I have to meander around stacks of green bins, piles of chairs and bags of files set for the shredder in order to reach my [...]
Ripe From Around Here….is here!
My post for Heathy’s raw ice cream cake challenge is going to be delayed just one more day because when I should have been using the ideal picture-taking hours to highlight the creamy texture of my Elegant Elvis and Cinnamon Roll variations I was celebrating a very exciting moment with a fantastic friend. May’d Me [...]
