Well another new year has come and thanks to Covid its been pretty uneventful, AGAIN! Hopefully this is the year we will start seeing the end of all the doom and gloom that is Covid and move on to getting back to life. Over the last 2 years we [...]
This dish was born from the deep draws of my fridge. I am usually meticulous with my meal planning as I hate to waste food and lately one trip a week is all I wan to do. I had a bunch of veggies left over and a package of frozen [...]
Like many vegetarians I have a bit of an issue with iron but eating leafy greens like spinach will definitely help along with the help of an iron suppliment. We all know that Popeye made himself super strong by eating spinach, but you may be surprised to learn that he [...]
This dish is super easy to make but just a little time consuming due to cooking times but don't let that scare you away. It makes a beautiful Sunday evening meatless meal, especially in the fall when the squash are in season and at their best. I was able to [...]
Fish is an excellent source of high protein and other nutrients. Research over the past few decades has shown that the nutrients and minerals in fish, and particularly the omega-3 fatty acids found in pelagic fishes (costal/oceanic fish), are heart-friendly and can make improvements in brain development and reproduction. Although [...]
These omelets are so easy to make and very versitile. They make a nice brunch or a light dinner. I used two frying pans to make each individual omelets but one frying pan will do as you will be popping them into a hot oven to heat up again after [...]
It was a lovely summer day today. Warm, humid and everything is bright green from the recent rain. A day that I prefer to spend outside than in the kitchen preparing a hot meal. I got home from work at a decent hour and off I went for a 5km [...]
I love to find tasty alternatives to a regular dish and this pizza was just that. It was full of flavour, protein and was done in a flash. It is a warm summery pizza and the red wine vinegar adds a little bit of sour to off set the rich [...]
I love tarts but the crusts are usually loaded with fat and carbs which isn't very waist line friendly. Sure there are fabulous crustless quiches and tarts out there but sometimes you just want a little flaky goodness. This crust is made of almond and coconut flour so it does [...]
Yes, real men do eat quiche and they actually enjoy it too! Quiche can be loaded with carbs and fat but with a few simple changes you can enjoy it low carb and virtually guilt free. Due to the fact that I am the resident herbivore I get very excited [...]
Spaghetti squash, also called vegetable spaghetti, noodle squash, vegetable marrow, spaghetti marrow, and squaghetti (the last name is my favourite one) can range either from ivory to yellow or orange in color with the orange varieties have a higher carotene content. The flesh is bright yellow or orange and when [...]
One thing I really missed about spring was the fresh snap peas. They are so vibrant and delicious. A perfect little snack and makes a fabulous ingredient in any vegetarian dish. My hubby and I were watching a British cooking show and they made a dish very similar to this [...]
This is a hearty soup that is ready in just one hour. Adding the kale at the end keeps it slightly crunchy and flavourful. For added richness toss a Parmesan rind into the broth while cooking. A great vegetarian dish with only 13.2g net carbs and 11.5g of protein. I [...]
