Okay, so I’ve actually never met a real Tim Tam. In fact I hadn’t ever even heard of these dreamy, ethereal treats until Johanna posted about them on her blog, almost a year ago, now. But just looking at the photos and reading the description of these cookies-in-a-chocolate-cloak made me realize that I would have […]

Coconut Crusted Tofu Bites with Creamy Green Curry Dipping Sauce
It’s holiday season–and what works better at the holidays than a holiday PARTY? My friend Cara is hosting a full month of festivities in the form of a Clean Eating Cocktail Party on her blog, with a new recipe for party food (you know–appetizers, finger foods, snacky stuff and yummy sweet treats) every day this […]
Halloween Whoopie Pies*
*Or, Why We No Longer Celebrate Halloween in the RH Household [Don’t be scared. It’s really tasty!] When the HH and I first lived together, our home in an older, mostly run-down neighborhood wasn’t exactly child-friendly. I vividly recall one sweltering summer’s evening as we lay sprawled in our bed, windows wide open (no A/C […]
Roasted Red Pepper and Squash Soup
Regular readers of this blog won’t be surprised to learn that I am averse to cold weather. In fact, I dread it. Ever year as the thermometer drops, so do my spirits. I can’t help it; I hate winter. I hate winter so much that I shiver just at the thought of impending snow and […]
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) […]

Flash in the Pan: Sweet Curry-Cinnamon Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
[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 is required. Here’s today’s “Flash in the Pan.” (For other FitP recipes, see “Categories” at right).] […]
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. […]
