  • Urban Farming: Farmer Meets Homeowner

    Last month I noticed some signs posted around in my neighbourhood asking people if they would like to offer some of their yard space for a vegetable garden, without actually having to do the work themselves. According to a report

  • Weekday Vegetarian: Vegetable Soup

    As regular readers would know, I love leftovers. Sometimes I have something that I can just reheat for lunch, but I often use leftovers as a base for something new. I had made a really good tomato pasta sauce for dinner and just

  • Weekday Vegetarian: Onion and Bean Bake

    My husband rode off on his bike yesterday to the dentist to get his teeth cleaned and came home with his mouth full of gauze and unexpectedly minus a tooth. It was too late to make him congee, which is what he really wanted, so

  • Weekday Vegetarian: Horseradish Hash Browns

    Yes, you saw right, that's bacon on top of those hash browns. Before you start sending in your comments, let me say, the bacon is not integral to the hash browns themselves, it is a topping. If you are making this dish on the

  • Weekday Vegetarian: Goat Cheese and Swiss Chard Casserole

    Hopefullly we've had our last snow for this winter, but it is still unseasonably cold around here. Last year at this time we were weeks away from the first spinach at the farmers' market and this year it looks like we'll be lucky

  • Weekday Vegetarian: Pasta with Celeriac and Mushrooms

    Celeriac isn't the first thing that comes to mind when you are planning a pasta sauce. Personally, I could eat a tomato based pasta sauce pretty much every day, but I felt like my husband had reached his threshold of tomato sauced

  • Weekday Vegetarian: Fried Rice

    I believe it was just yesterday when I opened my post with "The sun is warming up, the robins are here, and my garden is growing...". Today, not so much. This photo is the view from my front porch this afternoon, after many, many

  • Weekday Vegetarian: Pasta with Swiss Chard and Mushrooms

    The sun is warming up, the robins are here, my garden is growing, and I'm starting to dream about green leafy vegetables. So I broke down the other day and bought some Swiss chard. This is actually the hardest time of the year for

  • Weekday Vegetarian: Scrambled Eggs with Avocado, Onion and Cheddar

    My daughter goes to university out of town, and is lucky enough to have a year-round farmers' market mere steps from her flat. It's one of the oldest markets in Ontario and many of the farmers who are there farm land that has been

  • Weekday Vegetarian: Avocado Salad with Ginger and Peanuts

    My husband flat out loved this dish. In fact, he liked it so much I'm making it again today. You have to be a fan of ginger because the flavour is really intense, and we both are. I'm also a fan of this recipe because I made the

  • Weekday Vegetarian: Onion Galette

    I had some pastry left over from my mini quiches the other day, and I wanted to use it up. I didn't have enough for a pie, or really even for a small tart, but I figured I could get away with a galette.

  • Weekday Vegetarian: Red Cabbage Salad with Warm Balsamic Dressing

    I'm very excited because I saw my first spring flowers the other day while I was out walking the dog. My own garden has started to push up tulip and daffodil leaves as well. The most exciting thing is that soon I will be searching

  • Weekday Vegetarian: Broccoli Rabe, Potato and Rosemary Pizza

    I once had a party where I had my guests make their own dinner. I covered my kitchen counter with plates and bowls containing every pizza topping I could think of. At the front of the lineup was a stack of aluminum pie plates with

  • Weekday Vegetarian: Mini Quiche with Onions, Mushrooms and Feta Cheese

    My mother-in-law is 92 and still lives alone and still cooks dinner for her family on Friday nights. Like my own mother (a relative child at the age of 81), she doesn't really get the whole vegetarian diet idea. My son has been a

  • Weekday Vegetarian: Lemon Vegetable Soup

    When I was walking my dog this morning, there was a definite feeling of an upcoming storm in the air. Sure enough, three hours later the snow began to fall quite heavily. But it is quite warm out, so the storm is hovering between snow and rain and

  • Weekday Vegetarian: Lemon Parmesan Israeli Couscous

    Here is a simple side dish of Israeli couscous that is light and bright tasting and a little out of the ordinary. The texture of this is entirely different from the regular couscous that I'm used to. This is very chewy in an

  • Weekday Vegetarian: Indian Spiced Lentils

    My daughter and I paid a visit to the Art Gallery of Ontario the other day, where they have a magnificent exhibit called Maharaja. After wandering through the exhibit that runs the gamut from intricate paintings, to furniture, to

  • 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
