Pumpkin Pie
Sweet, spicy, and indulgent – this vegan and sugar-free pumpkin pie will have you wondering why anyone adds the sugar and cream anyway. A traditional recipe that’s incredibly easy to make and stocked full of good vitamins and minerals! I often enjoy mine as a...
Jalapeno Poppers
Spicy. Cheesy. Crispy. These vegan, gluten-free jalapeno poppers are dad-approved and so addictive it'll be hard to not over-eat when they're all fresh and hot - we made a batch of 19 of these suckers the second time I tested the recipe, and we ate the whole batch. ...
Ginger, Peach & Greens Salad
Having a batch of this ginger, peach & Chardonnay jelly on hand in the fridge makes this salad a fresh and delicious breeze to make! Add a variety of greens and toasted toppings, and you've got a bright and complex salad that you'll want second servings of. Serves...
Omi’s Potato Salad
Omi's potato salad is the only potato salad I've ever liked. Loved? I finish the serving bowl every time we have it at a family get together... om nom nom! I finally asked for the recipe and now it's something we make weekly - my tofu mayo recipe makes this a...
Ginger Peach Chardonnay Jelly
One of the best ways to preserve the mind-blowing decadence of late-summer peaches in Ontario. I've got the jelly pictured here with vegan yogurt, toasted oats and almonds, and this yummy cereal, for a crunchy & light snack. Check out other serving suggestions...
Pumpkin Spice Pancakes
Autumn came out of nowhere for us in Ontario this year, and as much as I love the season for boots, scarves, and layering warm fabrics... I'm reluctant to let go of the hot summer swimming season! Whether you live in a colder climate or not, the warm, sweet spices of...

Blueberry Scones
I'd previously mastered vegan scones that were just like your traditional scone recipe, but I didn't think mind-blowing gluten-free scones were going to be a thing... I've proved myself wrong, again. Yes, you need a delicate blend of particular flours to pull this...
Brown Rice Stuffed Pasta | Mezza Luna | Parsley & Chardonnay Sauce
Who knew homemade vegan, gluten-free pasta could be this easy or this effortlessly delicious! I was aiming for ravioli when I started making this pasta dough, but being my first time making pasta (ever) I ended up making my pasta rounds a bit too large for ravioli. I...
Herb & Peppercorn-Crusted Pate
This vegan pate will fool even the most refined palate! It's long been a crowd-pleasing secret of mine, it's one of the easiest appetizers you can put out with gluten-free crisps and crackers or tortilla chips, and I'm so excited to share it with you guys. Most vegan...
Banana Spice Muffins
I can't even describe the perfection of these muffins - you've got to try them! Fluffy, moist, and perfectly sweet... the clove shines through so beautifully. I highly recommend the mini muffins over doing full-sized muffins: gluten-free baking responds much more...
Tofu Mayo vs. Oil-based Mayo
I thought I'd hit the culinary goldmine when my first attempt at a home-made vegan oil-based mayonnaise was a huge success. But there were a few issues with it... I didn't like that sometimes the oil emulsified well into a thick and creamy mayo - and sometimes it...
Lemon & Raspberry Pie
Lemon pie has long been a favourite dessert that my dad and I like to share together – it’s one of both of our favourites. Here’s an updated, extra delicious version of my time-tested vegan, gluten-free recipe! Warning: you will never have leftovers of this...

Oh wow this blueberry lavender ice cream is a winner - and what a way to take advantage of summertime berry availability! Can you tell blueberries have been a source of inspiration this summer? The floral aroma of the lavender is so calming for the body and mind, and...
