My Dad’s Vegetable Soup*
*Or, Enough Vegetable Soup for an Army *Or, My Dad Actually Cooked this Vegetable Soup for an Army Well, howdy! I hope all of you in the US had an enjoyable President’s Day on Monday, while we here in Ontario enjoyed a statutory holiday with Family Day (translation: “Sit-on-your-butt-and-relax-inside-while-the-frigid-snow-and-wind-whip-around-the-house-outside-creating-snowdrifts-taller-than-the-HH-Day). Before I get to today’s stupendous […]
Kitchen Classics: Shepherd’s Pie
Some things just never change. As a result, there are certain aspects of our lives upon which we all tend to rely. For instance, you expect that Wile E. Coyote will tumble down the mountainside (an anvil in hot pursuit), only to re-emerge the following week without so much as a scratch–and start all over […]

Individual Veggie-Lentil Loaves with Avocado-Tahini Sauce
You asked for it, you got it! A couple of days ago, I couldn’t decide which recipe to post here on the blog, so I polled readers on my Facebook page, and the votes were about two to one in favor of these savory veggie-lentil loaves! I must admit I was a bit surprised given […]

Roasted Potato Salad with Avocado Pesto
I often wonder how many brilliant culinary creations are the result of neglected ingredients for which someone had no other use. You know what I’m talking about: those Thursday afternoons when you start rummaging through the fridge to make dinner and all you can find are tofu, pumpkin and salad dressing. Or olives, prunes and […]
Quinoa Pizza Balls
It was my first visit to this holistic practitioner, and I knew from the outset it was the place for me. Shutting out the mid-day hubbub of Toronto’s Yonge Street behind me, I swung open the heavy oak door; inside, there was a comfortable hush in the air, like padding through a field of snow. […]

Here’s today’s “Flash in the Pan.” (For other FitP recipes, see “Categories” at right).] […]
At Last, the Toronto Sandwich–and a New Computer
[Your basic Toronto Sandwich, loaded with avocado slices, hummus, sauerkraut and sriracha in a chickpea and pea flour wrap.] My, it certainly does feel like a while since I’ve posted here! As I already mentioned earlier, my relic of a computer, which I’d been using for longer than I care to admit (let’s just say […]
