I can’t believe that it is the end of February and I only have 9 recipes to go. This cookbook flew by and I’m just so happy with this journey. Using this book has really broadened my mind to the expanse of vegetarian cooking. I also just want to mention that my march newsletter is…

Recipe #71: Green Goddess Hummus
Between the yum & yummer book before and the love real food book now, I’ve made lots of bean-based dips. My fave from yum & yummer was the sweet potato and white bean dip (link here). It had some classic flavours but the sweet potato gave a nice twist. This hummus today also had some…
Recipe #70: Tuscan White Bean, Kale & Farro Stew
Meal in a bowl, that’s what this was. It’s one of those soups/stews that is an entire meal because it has grains, protein and tons of veggies. It was nice comfort food and the recipe yields a huge pot of stew so it’s perfect for second helpings or leftovers. I’m so happy with how this…
Recipe #69: Apple Crisp Breakfast Parfaits
Whenever I’m not really in the mood to cook anything for breakfast, I’ll just have a bowl of cereal or yogurt/cottage cheese with fruit. It’s super simple and still healthy. These parfaits are changing the yogurt game though. The added component of the stewed apples is so much better than raw berries or sliced banana….
Recipe #68: Roasted Salsa Verde
I am always down for trying new things and I was excited for some salsa verde (green salsa). I’ve never had salsa verde or even had a tomatillo before, so this was going to be fun. The recipe was super easy. You just have to broil the tomatillos (and jalapeno, if using – I wanted…
Recipe #67: Zesty Black Bean & Corn Salad in Lettuce Cups
I’m a fan of nice bean salad. It needs to have lots of bright flavours and textures or else it can be a little boring. There was nothing boring about this salad. It was super fresh with the cilantro and zippy with the lime juice. It also had lots of texture from the radish and…
Recipe #66: Roasted Cherry Tomato & Brown Rice Risotto
Risotto. It’s one of those things that seems so difficult to make because it is so labour intensive. However, this recipe proves otherwise. This risotto recipe actually starts on the stove then gets baked in the oven. I know it’s not traditional but it turned out sort of well for me. I still would like…
Recipe #65: Green Goddess Kale Salad
Kale has come from being a little garnish on plates to now the star of the dish. It is honestly one of my favourite greens (and even one of my favourite veggies). It’s so versatile – can use it in smoothies, soups, stews, and of course salads. I’ve made a couple different kale salad recipes…
Recipe #64: Banana Nut Bread
Boy, do I love banana bread, especially when it has lots of chopped nuts. It is the perfect breakfast or snack. It’s also great to make it with overripe bananas because they’ll add so much sweetness, and you could probably cut down the amount of added sugar. These are also very nutritious because they contain…
Recipe #63: Strawberry Balsamic Ice Cream Sundaes
I am finishing the week off with a nice dessert that you can serve this weekend. Regular ice cream is good on its own, but turning it into a sundae with a delicious strawberry sauce plus toppings is the way I’d rather go. This sauce was simple to make and even though it was cooked,…
