Hi Everyone! I know it’s been a while but better late than never is what I always say! Summer is upon us and we all want to make the most of the short season so time is of essence! Food needs to be fun, fast and tasty! It’s easy to sidetrack during summer holidays with…

Chana Masala! Chickpea Curry
This particular meal is either a hit or miss in my books. I think the best part of chana masala is the bathura. Bathura is basically fried bread in all its deliciousness. But, as I became gluten free, I learned to better appreciate the “curries” or the vegetable dishes without the bread (chapati, or bathura)….
Oh so buttery butternut squash soup!
I really think that cooking should be simple and easy. Sometimes it feels as though for food to be considered “tasty”, the recipe must be complicated. WRONG – at least, in my (humble) opinion! lol This recipe is SO SO easy and is FULL of flavour and has just 8 ingredients! How could you go…
Thai Rice Blend
Over the last couple of years, I have transitioned to eat less white rice and more towards brown rice, wild rice blends. I actually eat a lot of rice! I really love any type of wild rice blend that includes black rice just because it feels more wholesome and filling than white rice. This particular…
Chavli – Black Eyed Beans
These beans/peas are a little creepy looking I’ll admit – but are so yummy! As a vegan, sometimes it gets redundant to have the same lentils/beans over and over again; ie. chickpeas, kidney beans, etc. These beans are less popular than the rest but are just as creamy and tasty and provide a nice change…
DOSA – A quick how- to!
yum Dosa! Out of everything, I think this is my FAVOURITE food ever! There’s nothing like hot crispy dosa and chutney! Add sambar and I’m definitely in my happy food place! Visiting India, no matter how short the trip, meant at least one AMAZING dosa! I have yet to visit south India where the dosa…
Coconut Curry
I absolutely LOVE Thai food and I’m dying to visit Thailand so I can have the authentic experience! I never expected to like a curry that is coconut based but there’s such a wonderful explosion of flavour in Thai food. There’s a sweetness and a hotness all in one. I personally love spicy food so…
A Twist on Paneer Palak!
Paneer Palak was always THE MUST HAVE dish to order at any restaurant! Growing up, I used to LOVE to have this dish with naan. It was truly a decadent, “happy food” meal for me! And then…I became vegan. For many years, I was told that paneer palak (spinach and cheese curry) was a great…
Yellow (Moong) Daal – A Basic Reminder of Home
I consider yellow daal to be comfort food. It’s simple and underrated but there’s so much nostalgia associated with yellow daal for me. Growing up, we would always have yellow daal with fried bhindi aloo (okra and potato) and rice or roti (Indian flatbread). There’s a simplicity to yellow daal that I love; not too…
Masala BAKED Fries! My Happy Food!
In my house, we use the term “happy food” to describe which meals/items give us that joy or make us do a dance! Food has this incredible impact on all of us and I think good food or “happy food” not only nourishes us physically, but emotionally too. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE French Fries! They are…
