Ladies and gentlemen, the day has finally come. A few months ago (four, to be exact) I decided to finally take the plunge and purchase a DivaCup. While I have been dying to share my thoughts on it, I toyed with the idea of whether or not it would be appropriate for fear that it…
Simple Chickpea Salad with Mint Tahini Dressing
Regular readers of this blog will have full knowledge of my long-standing love affair with my preferred legume of choice; none other but the almighty chickpea, of course. I’ll eat chickpeas pretty much any way you can spin them – in hummus form, as a scramble, in flatbread, or even as a stuffing. The list goes…
Easy Vegan Cashew Cheese
Firstly, I would be remiss if I did not take a moment to thank each and every person who read and responded to my last post. I had no idea it would have such a marked effect on so many of you, and while I don’t derive any joy from knowing others have been through…

Don’t get me wrong, I love a traditional baked good (blueberry muffins will always have a special place in my heart) but for the time being I’m favouring the freezer over…
Bare Chocolates Review
When presented with a choice between sweet or savoury – I almost always opt for the latter. I distinctly remember going to birthday parties as a child and eschewing birthday cake altogether in favour of more sandwiches and chips. My family thought this truly bizarre, but in my defense, how many marzipan-loving 6-year-olds do you know?…
Infinite Zest Cookies
With the exception of a brief stint in 8th grade where we read Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, I had never been part of a book club before. I do and have always loved to read and write, in fact, I believe I attempted to pen my first novel on our family computer at the…
