APPETIZER & SNACK RECIPES
Rich and Creamy Spinach Avocado Dip
I am so excited to share this vegan spinach and avocado dip recipe! I actually had it for breakfast one day this week (shhh!). I used avocado to replace the loads of heavy dairy products found in traditional recipes and the result is still creamy and satisfying. There’s also a TON of spinach packed in there;
Five 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Snacks
Peanut butter, the food of my childhood, how I love you so. I thought peanut butter deserved it’s own post, one that is simple and uncomplicated, just like my love of peanut butter; healthy peanut butter snacks with 3 ingredients or less. Also, I have to admit I`ve had this song in my head the
Panko-Crusted Squash Tacos With Creamy Jalapeno Lime Sauce
Crunchy. Spicy. Creamy. Those are probably my three favourite food descriptives and these vegan squash tacos are deserving of all three. Panko-crusted baked butternut squash brings the crunch to this game-day treat and my cashew jalapeno-lime “sour cream” sauce is both spicy and luxuriousy creamy. We topped the tacos with shredded kale, salsa, red onion, tomato,
Cranberry-Stuffing Savoury Holiday Cupcakes
Whether it is Chrismas or Thanksgiving, stuffing has always been my absolute favourite part of the traditional holiday feast. Literally I remember filling my plate with so much stuffing my mom would need to remind me to save some for the rest of the family. This year I successfully made a veganversion of our family recipe;

Watermelon Nicecream
One night I decided to freeze some watermelon chunks to make some watermelon nicecream in the morning. Best. Idea. Ever. I simply blended up some frozen deseeded watermelon with a bit of coconut cream and lime juice, and it was super tasty! A very cool breakfast 😀 you could add some sweetener if you like (maple
Vegan Breakfast: Beetroot Cake Porridge
So you can see why it’s perfect timing to post this recipe now – there’s a hidden serve of beetroot in there 😉 well, ok. It’s not exactly hidden…the pink colour is a dead giveaway, I know.

Smoothie Bowl Feathering Tutorial
I kept this smoothie bowl really simplistic (in terms of ingredients used) but guys, feel free to make any smoothie you like to turn it into a fun smoothie bowl. But you’ll want to use chilled (not frozen) fruit/veg, and some liquid, because you need the smoothie to be runny. In the video below, I
Shake and Go Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats
You know when you first discover a new recipe and can’t stop making it? That is me with these Mini-Mason Jar Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats; I may have eaten this every day for the past two weeks…seriously.

Apple Spirulina Smoothie
I’d share with you guys my latest recipe creation: this spirulina smoothie. Spirulina smoothie I usually just mix a scoop (5ml) of spirulina powder into a glass of juice or water (water works best if I’m having flavoured spirulina – I particularly enjoy Nature’s Way Tropical Spirulina! – otherwise spirulina in water kinda tastes like…seaweed…).

SIDE DISH RECIPES
Vegan Sweet Potato Buns
I was initially skeptical of this idea of Mr. Pea’s… I mean, seriously, making your own dinner rolls? making your own vegan dinner rolls? throwing sweet potato in there? I’m not going to lie, making bread scares me; it just seems like some sort of MasterChef thing.. not a Jessica thing. However, after seeing this idea
Canary Melon Gazpacho With Tarragon Syrup
Summer has kind of taken hold of our lives the past little while and I just started a new job last week so things have been a crazy around here, hence the lack of blog posts. I figured a refreshing gazpacho recipe was the perfect way to get back into recipe-creation mode. This vegan gazpacho combines canary melon

Apple-Carrot Brussels Sprout Bake
This roasted vegetable side is the perfect addition to a cozy winter dinner. It combines brussels sprouts, carrots and onions with the sweet tartness of apples; all of which are roasted in a sweet and spicy garlic glaze. I was going to include some new fact I learned about brussels sprouts and how good they are, however the more surprising
Vegan Parmesan Cheese
Attempting to create a vegan parmesan cheese is a hard task for sure. Parmesan has a complex and strong flavor that fills your mouth; its salty, sweet, acidic, and umami, since it contains a lot of natural MSG. However, with this recipe, we are covering all of our bases to bring you a delicious vegan

Thai Coconut Squash Soup
This creamy rich soup combines butternut squash with coconut milk and thai red curry. It’s perfect for fall (and all this cold rainy weather we are getting!). The soup is sweet with a touch of spice from ginger and cayenne changing up the traditional butternut squash soup. I have to confess this is the first slowcooker recipe I
Simple Red Lentil Soup
I’m not sure if I ever had lentils before I met Mr. Pea. Now lentil soup is one of my favourite weekday meals. This dairy-free soup spiced with cumin, turmeric and garam masala is a surprisingly hearty lunch or dinner and pairs perfectly with naan, roti or even baguette. It also has a bit of
Cilantro Mushroom Soup
I’m struggling a bit with what to write in this post; so I’m just going to focus on the soup!! This vegan cilantro soup recipe combines onions, portabello mushrooms caps and garlic with tons of cilantro and a hint of lime juice and spice. It turns out a beautiful green with all the cilantro, which
winter warmer – dumpling soup recipe
Now, I have no idea what non-vegan dumplings are supposed to be like or even what they are made of, but these dumplings are like over-sized gnocchi. Doughy goodness!

Curried Mango Chickpea Salad
Initially this was going to be just a curried chickpea salad, but when I saw the mangos at the fruit market it very quickly became a mango chickpea salad. I just couldn’t resist and it turns out mangoes and curry go really well together (who knew!). This refreshing salad has the texture of a tuna
Grapefruit and Avocado Kale Salad With Oil-Free Dijon Dressing
For me a salad is incomplete without some type of fruit in it and I’m always experimenting with new combinations. This time it was grapefruit paired with kale, shredded brussels sprouts, sugar snap peas and avocado. It was actually my first time ever eating raw brussels sprouts which I have to admit I was
Kale Salad With Banana-Ginger Dressing
Banana and kale usually find their way together in our morning green smoothies but today they are colliding in the salad bowl. I used banana to make a bright green ginger cilantro dressing that is oil-free (which is a nice change from our usual go-to dressings that rely on olive oil). The slight sweetness from
Cranberry-Lemon Kale Salad With Pinenuts
This salad is simple yet fancy at the same time. The combination of cranberries, pinenuts and lemons sometimes make me dream about this salad. I know….dreaming about salad = crazy!
