Some people are born controversial, some achieve controversy, and others have controversy thrust upon them. I assume that by now most of you have heard the rumors about Toronto’s illustrious mayor Rob Ford. It seems, allegedly, that there is an alleged video of the alleged mayor smoking some alleged crack cocaine with two alleged drug […]

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 […]
Mock Tuna Salad from Main Street Vegan
Every year, I spend pretty much the entire fall and winter whining, grumbling and griping about the weather (Oh, how I hate the cold! How I wish this season would just whiz by with no snow! How come we can’t have summer all year–boo hoo? And how are you supposed to wear those hats with the […]
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 […]

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 […]
Faux Kombucha
[Our potluck salad feast!] Last week, I alluded to the annual potluck I host for my nutrition buddies. As it turned out, 2011 was the first time in eight years that I missed it (why thank you horrible flu, awful weather, and chaotic schedule with 200 student assignments to mark within one week). Needless to […]
Grilled Romaine with Sweet and Smoky Dressing–and Sayonara, Dole Summit
Along with my final recap of the Dole Summit festivities, I decided to share this Grilled Romaine with Sweet and Smoky Dressing recipe today because, well, I’ve been pouting about it for days now (which can really make your lips tired after the first 7 or so hours). Okay, so I haven’t really been pouting […]
Salad Squared at the Dole Summit: Salad Samplings, Salad Ballet and Salad Recipe
[My own creation, inspired by our group’s favorite sample salad. See recipe, below.] After a whirlwind three days at the Dole Salad Summit, I finally woke up yesterday in my own bed. Glancing out the window, it seemed to me that something was a little “off”: the sky outside looked just a little little […]
Olive-Quinoa Salad with Olive Shortbreads (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan)
Some decisions in life are just no-brainers. Did I wish to get a second dog after Elsie? Uh-huh. Should I move in with the HH? Duh. Do I present at Nourished when asked? Uh, yeah. Will I accept when Ellen finally invites me onto her show? OF COURSE I WILL!! And when Casey of KitchenPLAY […]
