The theme of my menu for our meals this week was “quick and easy”: Importantly easy to make and quick to clean up afterward. I don’t mind having long cooking sessions at times especially in the Winter when the kitchen is the coziest, warmest place in the home. I’ve been immersed in my Tarot studies…

Greek Lemon Orzo Soup (with Turkey)
“Soup is cozy.”― Adrienne Posey I’ve had a piece of turkey in the freezer wondering what to do with it. My Greek friend has told me many times about her Lemon and chicken soup but I’ve never gotten the recipe. I figured I’d make my own version tonight. I’ve never tried the “real” Greek soup so…
Cozy Autumn Vegetarian Pot Pie
“There is nothing better on a cold wintry day than a properly made pot pie.” It’s been very grey and rainy for the past two days. I find it hard to wake up in the morning when it’s so dark. Don’t get me wrong, I love this time of year on the coast; the mist carried…
Creamy White Wine And Mushroom Pasta
Snow fall warning for tonight. It’ still Fall but the air certainly had a frosty bite as I walked to the Village for dinner ingredients this afternoon. I hope you’re all keeping healthy both physically and mentally. I was feeling a little off today; I could feel stress arising in my chest. Thoughts of fleeing…
High (Vegan) Protein Lettuce Wraps
Most of today was overcast and cool. I shopped in the village happy there were no line-ups at the grocery store; in and out in 20 minutes. It rained lightly through the afternoon then the sun appeared while I prepped dinner and enjoyed a Pineapple Moscow Mule my husband made me. It’s always cocktail hour somewhere…
Barley Mushroom Salad Topped With Crispy Shallots
My poor bamboo plant is looking ragged. Salem, my cat, has quite the palette for it. I move it around the house constantly thinking he’ll either forget about it or not find it but he always does and chomps away at it happily. It’s a perfectly safe plant for kitties, as are all the plants…
Spicy Asian Carrot Salad
“This is my invariable advice to people: Learn how to cook- try new recipes, learn from your mistakes, be fearless, and above all have fun!” – Julia Child It is pouring rain in Vancouver! a reprieve from the sun we’ve had all week. The mercury rose to 26+ degrees (celsius) this past Mother’s Day weekend. I did…
20 Minute (Vegan) Sloppy Joes
Saturday night at home. After a day of rain and grey skies a cozy movie night was in order. We decided on the movie Yesterday and enjoyed some comfort food to go with it. This vegan version of sloppy joes will not disappoint. I didn’t really remember what the original ones are supposed to taste…
Moroccan Lentil “Lamb Pops” With Couscous Salad (Vegan)
“We travel not to escape life but for life not to escape us.” I’m in the kitchen when the 7pm cheering starts. We honour and thank our healthcare and front line workers everyday. First the horns sound off from Canada Place and then the city echoes with the sound of pots and pans, whistles, claps and…
A Full Vegan Meal: Thai Noodle Salad, Spinach Salad and Coconut Crusted Tofu.

With the extra time around the house these days I started prepping in the afternoon. In this entry we’ll be making Thai Noodle Salad with homemade peanut sauce,…
