Weekday Vegetarian: Rapini and Tomato Sauce with Capers
I know this isn't the most beautiful looking dish, but it sure was delicious. Usually when I make pasta with rapini, I just saute it in olive oil and garlic and then add lemon and ground pepper. It's one of my husband's favourite meals. This time, I

Weekday Vegetarian: Bean and Vegetable Stew
I'm still managing to cook my meals without heading out to the grocery store. It's a bit of an exercise in frugality by not spending any money, but also using up the vegetables I have before buying any more. I'm starting to have

Weekday Vegetarian: Olive Salad Taverna
One of my favourite flavour combinations is olive and lemon. There is something about the mixture of salty and tart that I find endlessly appealing. We have had record high temperatures in Toronto for the past two days and the

Weekday Vegetarian: Potato and Chickpea Burgers
Over the years I have experimented with a number of vegetarian burgers. I have a recipe for a chickpea burger which my whole family likes, and I have a bean burger which I think is for me, the most satisfying vegetarian burger recipe I've used.

Weekday Vegetarian: Spicy Broth with Avocado and Tomato
Here is an unusual recipe which allows me to use up some more of my avocado treat purchase. It's unusual because most soups involving avocado are chilled, and often involve buttermilk. This is a refreshing and light vegan soup and

Weekday Vegetarian: Noodles with Shiitake Mushrooms and Baby Greens
My husband may have been shocked that I had some not-so-green avocados the minute he left home for a business trip, but I know what will really make him jealous is when he finds out I had Chinese food without him.
-
Weekday Vegetarian: Tuna Salad with Sweet Pickles and Spicy Mustard
This tofu salad sandwich is a bit of a twist on the traditional tuna salad. I've made chickpea salad sandwiches, which I like very much, but this is the first time I've ever tried it with tofu. I ended up using homemade dill
-
Weekday Vegetarian: Red Lentil Dal with Cumin-Fried Onions and Wilted Spinach
We are off to dinner at my mother-in-law's tonight, and she doesn't really get vegetarianism. So I make something to take along for my vegetarian son to eat, as he is usually on his way to dinner from work. It has to be something

Weekday Vegetarian: 45 Recipes for Chinese New Year
In our family, Chinese meals are a pretty frequent occurrence, but lots of people only know it only through take-out or visits to their local Chinese restaurant. You don't have to find Chinese cooking daunting, especially

Weekday Vegetarian: Jerusalem Artichoke Slaw
In keeping with my post yesterday, I am returning to the winter salad theme, this time using Jerusalem artichokes. The Asian Winter Slaw was vegan, and had quite a refreshing taste. Today's recipe has a bit of dairy in it, and is

Weekday Vegetarian: Asian Winter Slaw
Now that we have hit the month of February, I am starting to think that I will never see lettuce again. Although I love winter food, with lots of braises and soups and stews, there comes a time when you miss having a little crunch

Weekday Vegetarian: Chickpea Casserole with Lemon, Herbs and Shallots
There was a bit of eye rolling from my husband when I said I was making a chickpea casserole. That's probably because he remembers casseroles from his childhood, as do I. They were usually gloppy affairs with one of the main

Weekday Vegetarian: Green Curry Noodles
I've been making a lot of Asian-style noodles lately, I guess in a quest to use up all the carrots and cabbage I have. I spent all morning thinking about what I would make for lunch, but nothing appealed to me so I went back to
-
Weekday Vegetarian: Pasta e Fagioli
I've hit that wall that happens to me every year around about this time where I look at the fresh vegetables available to me in Ontario, like cabbage, parsnips, carrots and celeriac, and I can't imagine wanting to cook anything using them.
-
Weekday Vegetarian: Vegan Cabbage Rolls
My husband has a standing lunch each Friday, and when he goes out I make myself something that I know he's not so crazy about. This week it was cabbage rolls.

Weekday Vegetarian: Mujaddara with Spiced Yogurt
Sometimes the simplest recipes can be the most sublime. Combining just three kitchen staples of lentils, rice and onions with a dollop of spiced yogurt with lemon juice transported me to the Middle East. I made half of the recipe
