Fragrant Vanilla Cake

Butternut Squash, Chickpea and Kale Soup

The weather is starting to cool off here, I am seeing a touch of color starting on some of the maple trees, and I am getting the comfort food cravings.  So I thought I would make some warming soup last week.  We had a few rainy days here, and it was just the thing to […]

Orange Kale Salad 

Spring is on the horizon, it has been warm and sunny here lately with the snow rapidly melting and lovely outside.  I have been trying to get out for a walk everyday and it is nice that now when I get home from work it is still light outside.  Even though citrus season is almost […]

White Bean, Sweet Potato and Kale Soup

The weather can’t seem to decide what it is doing here lately.  It was thawing out and above 35F degrees, and then it was down to below zero then back to above freezing again. I will take the warmer days though, it is not often we see days above the teens and twenties this time […]

Roasted Sweet Potato Kale Salad 

A lot of the time the recipes I make depend on what I already have on hand.  Because I hate wasting things, and I also like saving money and saving a trip to the store.  I had a leftover sweet potato on hand from making a sweet potato lasagna for Christmas, and I wanted to […]

Roasted Pumpkin and Black Bean Salad with Groundnut Dressing

When I was out for my run this morning, I noticed a few people have set out pumpkins on their steps as decoration.  Not surprising, official pumpkin season is officially here!  I even got one in my CSA box this time.  Although it was pretty, and I thought I might want to just display it, […]

French Lentil and Kale Salad with Almond Dressing

  My CSA box is always a source of good meals and inspiration, and this week was no different.  It was overflowing with deliciousness.  I did not have a lot of time one night last week, so I made a quick salad for dinner.  I had a gorgeous bouquet of kale I wanted to use.  […]

Vegan Roasted Tomato and Kale Quesadillas

I used  to be a huge cheese lover.  My favorite sandwich (and all I would order in a restaurant for years) was always good old grilled cheese.  But I would never say no to a quesadilla.  To me, it was just good old grilled cheese with tortillas.  It was actually the first thing I ever […]

Garlicy Kale Salad with Roasted Potatoes and Chickpeas

I always try to think of what I can make out of ingredients I already have at home to save on money and not waste things.  So, last week I had lots of kale and potatoes.  I thought about making a soup or vegan frittata or something, but what I ended up really wanting was […]

Raw Mushroom Kale Rice

Ok, you may be wondering what is up with all of my faux grain and rice dishes lately…and the truth is I am addicted to them. They are so good that I have been having lots of them for dinner lately and I feel the need to share since no two of them taste similar […]
