I mean, doesn’t this happen to you, too? You’re invited to a plethora of holiday parties and events; and, since you really want to see all your […]
Moroccan Millet & Butternut Squash Pilaf from The Pure Kitchen
One of the things I admire about my dad is that he speaks something like eight languages. Having been born in Poland, he grew up in a milieu that encouraged multilingualism simply because of its promximity to so many other countries. Later, he lived in Russia and adopted their tongue; then he moved to Canada […]

I Am Thankful For. . . Unconventional Vegan Cassoulet
For someone who considers her typical days to be fairly mundane, it does seem I’ve got quite a soft spot for all things unconventional. I’d trace this penchant for the eccentric back to my grade six art class with Miss Tarnofsky. Miss T (we all thought it should stand for “Terror”) was the strictest, most […]

The only TV in our house was in my parents’ bedroom, perched on the wide […]

Baked Sweet Potato Falafel
Do you believe in sharing your food? I don’t mean “sharing” in the (laudable) sense of offering your excess tomatoes to an elderly neighbor who can’t grow her own any more, or asking your single, cash-strapped nephew to your holiday feast, or donating part of your groceries to the local shelter; when I say “sharing,” what I mean is […]
