Quick Meatless Taco Cups

I love mixing unlikely ingredients to create new textures and flavors. I happened to have some leftover wonton wraps but didn’t want to make something Asian. So instead, we made some crispy little taco cups using muffin tins! That’s fun! They are stunning and make a great appetizer that can be ready in less than […]

Golden Purses with Sweet and Sour Sauce

After Super bowl Sunday, we have Oscar night to look forward to! By the way, speaking of Super bowl, have you seen the movie ‘80 for Brady‘? If you loved Grace and Frankie, you will love 80 for Brady! Jane Fonda & Lilly Tomlin now team up with Rita Moreno and Sally Fields! Just delightful! […]

Winter Savory Oatmeal

If you prefer savory to sweet breakfasts like I do, you will love this fun twist on good old oatmeal. One of the reasons why I came up with this alternative is that a bowl of oatmeal even with the usual addition of raisins, walnuts and a bit of brown sugar tends to go through […]

Quick Crispy Vegetable Bundles

In honor of the Chinese New Year, we are making a fun appetizer. Whenever we have some cabbage, carrots and mushrooms (which is pretty much all the time), we like to make either a stir fry or eggrolls but we don’t always feel like deep frying. So instead, we prepare the filling and break out […]

Air fried Broccoli Cauliflower Buffalo Wings

If your spouse or kids aren’t big fans of broccoli, this recipe is going to be a game-changer! We personally love broccoli but it is always fun to find ways to sneak it! The idea to use broccoli in addition to cauliflower to make plant-based buffalo wings came from the need to quickly double a […]

Vegan Salmon Steaks with aioli

Have you ever noticed that there is a plethora of store bought plant-based alternatives for beef, chicken, turkey, and bacon but not a lot of options when it comes to vegan fish products? It is probably only a matter of time until brilliant cooks, food scientists and engineers succeed in developing new textures, flavors that […]

Crispy Herb Seed Crackers

There are many good brands of crackers out there but most are high in sodium, have additives and if you don’t reseal the bag well, you can easily end up with stale crackers. I also don’t like buying products that come in boxes. That’s such a waste. Making crackers from scratch on the other hand […]

Best Penne All’Arrabbiata

When you are a vegan eating out in a French restaurant you have to be quite creative with the menu, ask questions, find out if they can make simple substitutions, often order from the side dishes. You can pretty much always find spaghetti with tomato sauce (quite boring!) and if you are lucky maybe some […]
