Fancy Sauteed Snow Peas

Over the Christmas holidays I went out with my family to eat at a steakhouse. Before I became a vegetarian I would have never guessed what in the world a vegetarian eats at a steakhouse. Eating out as a vegetarian or vegan is always an adventure of sorts. I’ve been to more than one restaurant where there…

“I can’t believe it’s not peanut butter”: Peanut Free Peanut Butter

Peanut Butter was sacred when we were kids. It was never allowed in the house. So the moment we would visit grandma’s we would politely ask for a warm, melty peanut butter sandwich for lunch – or quite frankly for any meal/snack of the day. It was only a plus if it was spread on a…

Pecan Cashew Butter

   I kinda have an obsession with nut butter. I love everything about it – it’s creaminess, nuttiness, and the way that it tastes devilishly good slathered on practically anything. One of my favourite all-time energy boosting snacks is a sweet banana dipped and slathered with silky smooth almond butter. Even though I love almond butter in…

A muffin that is infused with peanut butter and full of hearty oats. The kind of muffin that is slightly sweet and goes down perfectly with a big cuppa coffee in the morning.     One of the biggest obstacles in baking with oats is that many oat-based recipes…
