Happy almost end of October everyone! WOW! Where has this summer gone? I have kind of been a little MIA over here but don’t worry; I am not gone completely. This summer flew by, and even September has as well, last time I checked I thought it was July! This past summer, I spent a…
Spicy Tofu with a Noodle Salad
It is finally here, perfected and ready to share with everyone! Full disclosure, I had a challenging time getting the creative juices flowing to write this one up for you all. For me, this time of year is when I become weirdly obsessed with eating salads, and all the fresh local produce I can. I…
No Bake Cheesecake with Rhubarb
Easy, delicious, make-ahead no bake rhubarb cheesecake is going to be your favourite dessert for this summer. Rhubarb season is in full force, and the days are getting longer and hotter, and sometimes in the summer, you get sick of eating ice cream (I don’t but let’s just say we do). Sometimes you want to…
Turnip and Potato Kabobs
As we are heading into BBQ season, but not quite everything grill-able in season. Why not grill some starch! Wait, what? These turnip and potato kabobs are fun, and a different take on just regular side of potatoes. With the fresh dill and olive oil, it gives the freshness summer has to offer. You can…

Homemade Refried Beans
One thing I have mentioned over and over again is that Kodi and I have been focusing on cost savings and zero waste in our house. This month of April, I am going to focus on zero waste recipes, and creating a zero waste kitchen (blog post coming soon). Every morning we make breakfast, and…
Vegan Chocolate Pudding Cups
The two New Year resolutions Kodi and I have not broke yet have been making lunches every day with healthy options and reducing waste. With many changes in our lives; me starting a new career, him starting a new job, we have buckled down and try to make as much stuff from home that is…
Copy Cat Corn Salsa
If I am going to be honest, this recipe came up because I was craving a burrito bowl from Chipotle, and I didn’t want to drive all the way to Langley, or downtown Vancouver. So as I kept opening and closing the fridge, freezer and all the cupboards with not inspiration and not wanting anything…
Pasta Dough!
Pasta. Pasta is life. Carbs are life. But when you make it from scratch yourself, you appreciate it even more. I didn’t think I could love pasta anymore than I did, but I do when we make it from scratch. It is fresh, it has more taste than store bought and it is fun to…
