Arrabbiata with Broccoli & Tempeh

As I’m writing this it is 26C (79F) outside and the cicada symphony is in full swing. I know this not just because they’re drowning out all other neighborhood sounds, but because the cat just bought one into the house. And then she let it go. Cicadas are way, way noisier inside the house. So [...]

Soba Noodles with Eggplant and Pomegranate

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while now you’ll know I am particularly fond of soba noodles. Most any time I make a recipe with noodles I will find a reason to substitute soba into the mix. Well, actually it doesn’t even need to be a noodle recipe… Hot or cold, I just [...]

Pumpkin Flax Granola

Every Sunday I make a huge batch of granola to last us the week. Mostly I make this maple nut granola which is Sun’s absolute favourite. But lately, in an attempt to break the routine and put some pep in my step, I’ve been experimenting with some new recipes. It took a few batches until [...]

Their home is in a humble farming village called Bankor, close to the Laos border. A beautiful spot where the water buffalos still rule the rice paddies and [...]

Early Autumn Minestrone

Dear Autumn, You may or may not have heard through the grapevine that I recently said I hate you. That’s probably because I did. Anyhow, this letter is to inform you that I’ve changed my mind. You see, I’ve been having so much fun lately with Summer, just eating, drinking, traveling and generally horsing around, [...]

Vegetarian Chili for the Soul

I made this chili last thanksgiving, rather frantically, when I realized about an hour out that all our guests were bringing either salad or dessert dishes (myself included!) to our pot luck dinner. It was a frantic throw together using the pulses/grains I had in the pantry to create a main dish that I hoped [...]

Maple Nut Granola

Maple Nut Granola Recipe. It has no cane sugar so it’s not overly sweet like a lot of store bought granola. The only sweetener is half a cup of real maple syrup, giving it a hint of sweetness and the maple flavour perfectly complementing the nuts.
