Spring
Shirazi Salad
While we still have a few more weeks of winter to go, I'm really craving light and refreshing spring/summer foods. However, during the winter months, fresh produce is not always the best quality here in Canada. But luckily in BC, we have lots of local greenhouses that sell fresh local produce year round!

Spicy Jalapeño Margarita
May has finally arrived and I could not be happier. We are one month closer to those long summer days, warm weather and relaxing outside with a drink...or two. But for me, I don't need the long days and warm temperatures to enjoy a drink, even a summery one! Cinco de Mayo is my excuse…

This Magic Green Sauce is healthy and 100% vegan– and it's truly magical! So never mind that imaginary pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. This Magic Green Sauce is…
Soy Sauce Chicken
Soy Sauce Chicken is a classic Chinese dish. A whole chicken is marinated and then poached in a pot full of soy sauce and various spices. Once cooked, it's cut up into chunks and served warm or at room temperature. While this recipe is a bit challenging to make at home, it's much cheaper than…
Toum ~ Creamy Garlic Sauce
You may not have known the proper name for this tasty sauce before reading this blog post, but I can guarantee that you have had this before if you eat a lot of Lebanese or Middle Eastern foods like shawarma or falafel. Toum is a traditional creamy (and dreamy) Lebanese garlic sauce that is often…
