After my post on Wild About Greens the other day (and don’t forget to enter the giveaway here!), I thought I’d extend the Greens Love one more day. So today’s post is all about my very favorite leafy green in the bunch. . . KALE! As you may remember, I’ve aimed to consume more greens […]

Collard-Wrapped Yellow Rice and Black Bean Enchiladas
As promised yesterday, I’ve got an amazing recipe for you today from Nava Atlas’s Wild About Greens (to read my interview with Nava and learn more about the book, go here). But seems I got the name of the recipe wrong! The collard-wrapped enchiladas reminded me so much of my mum’s erstwhile cabbage rolls that […]
Six Degrees of Nava Atlas

If you’ve got someone in mind you’d like me to approach for an interview, please shoot me an email at dietdessertdogsATgmailDOTcom, or leave a comment here and let me know! […]
Creamy Broccoli Salad with Garlic Crunch Topper
Around this time each year, I start to crave spring and spend time dreaming of all things green: green leaves, green trees, green grass, green vegetables. I love the surprise pack of fresh fruits and vegetables that magically shows up at my door in my CSA each week, but since I live in Ontario, it’s […]
I Sing the Broccoli Electric: Veggie-Full Sweet Smoothie
Before we get to today’s broccoli-filled smoothie, can we have a little audience survey? You don’t have to press any of the buttons on your phone, and this call is not being recorded for training purposes. Okay, here we go: If you recognized the allusion to “I Sing the Body Electric” in today’s blog post […]
Flash in the Pan: Red And Green Festive Cocktail*
* AKA Cranberry, Pomegranate and Kale Detox Juice (but don’t tell anyone about the detox part) [Sometimes, you just want a dish that’s quick and easy–no fuss. I’ve decided to offer a mini-post every once in a while, for a dish that comes together incredibly quickly or else is so simple to make that no recipe […]
African-Inspired Spicy Squash and Fava Beans on Raw Collard “Tortillas”
Okay, everyone, please take up your positions. The Squash-a-thon is about to begin! On the one hand, fall is the season for marathons and runs. On the other hand, it’s also the season for squashes–anything from pumpkin (the first place frontrunner right now) to kabocha (my own pick for a winner) to acorn (cute curves) […]
Creamy Raw Almond-Pumpkinseed Pate
Sometimes you just get in the culinary groove, and thank the Great Gods of Grub when the recipes continue to flow easily and smoothly, like ganache over ice cream. This past week was one of those weeks for me. You know, the kind when you attempt to recreate an old favorite without gluten, eggs, dairy […]
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 […]
Kitchen Classics: Kale Salad, Fully Loaded
[With added hemp seeds, sprouts, radish, apple and chopped pecans] It’s been a crazy couple of weeks here in the DDD household, what with mega-marking for my classes at the college, a whirlwind trip to Montreal (more on that anon), the regular array of doctor’s appointments, a quick visit for a dental emergency (my molar […]
