Takeout Makeover: Baked Falafel

I LOVE falafel. It is one of those foods I only have once in a while from a food truck or a take out restaurant and I always think to myself “I should make this at home.” After Craig and I grabbed falafel last weekend he persuaded me to make a healthier version. Challenge accepted! Falafel is actually an incredibly simple vegan recipe. Just combine chickpeas with parsley, onions and a whole bunch of spices and cook. Traditionally, falafel is deep fried, but I decided to bake them instead. I baked and then broiled for a few minutes to get a crisp exterior. There are many fabulous ways to eat [...]

Super Slaw

So, a few weeks ago I was lucky enough to win the most amazing giveaway. The lovely Katherine Martinelli was giving away a Magimiz by Robot-Coupe food processor to celebrate her 2 year Blogoversary. I was the lucky winner of this giveaway and I have been BLOWN AWAY by this food processor. It has a whole bunch of different blades for slicing, julienning and pureeing. In addition, I was lucky enough to get the juicer and smoothie attachments as well. So, I’ve been having a blast experimenting with my new toy. I’ve done some soups, some baking and some slicing but I decided it was time to try a slaw! [...]

Friday Links & Carb Love

Another week goes by and March begins to wrap up. I for one can’t wait for April. March has been plagued by lots of snowstorms, colds and the inability to wear cute spring shoes. Things are looking up – when I leave work it is still light out (sometimes) and I am begining to get a bit of spring fever. I have the overwhelming urge to go out and buy sandals and shorts despite the fact that today is a warm 40 degrees. Anyway. Have you checked out my CARBS Pinterest Board yet? I am constantly updating it with lots of carby goodness. I also just started a BACON board, [...]

Pistachio Quinoa Pilaf with Harissa

Quinoa is one of those amazing healthy foods that I enjoy but nonetheless neglect when it comes to thinking up fun recipes. Lately, my grain experimentation has mainly included bulgur and farro, but I decided to fix that pronto. Quinoa is a seed, actually – not a grain, but you catch my drift… Did you know? Quinoa is actually a seed, not a grain and related to the spinach family. It has been grown for centuries in South America, where it was a staple of the Incan diet. Quinoa is a great source of both protein and fiber. It contains all 9 essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. [...]

Skinny Carrot Cake Muffins

I love carrot cake. Although I am a self diagnosed chocoholic, I think that, given the choice, carrot cake with cream cheese frosting would probably win out over chocolate cake any day. There is something awesome about making a sticky, sweet and unhealthy dessert out of a simple veggie like a carrot. I think I also associate carrot cake with Spring and Easter. I am currently desperate for spring, which seems like it will never arrive. In fact, the forecast for tomorrow is for more snow. I long for temperatures above 40 degrees! Craving carrot cake the other day, I decided to try my hand at some healthy muffins instead. [...]

Chicken Teriyaki Fried Rice

Sometimes you just need a quick healthy meal you can put together in a short amount of time. I came home from work tonight starving and debating just making a grilled cheese and calling it a night. Instead I decided to throw together a 30 minute stir fry combining some healthy and satisfying ingredients. I love variations of fried rice. I’ve made quite a few versions already: Veggie Fried Rice, Bok Choy Fried Rice, and Turkey Fried Rice. I like these types of dishes because you can combine filling brown rice with lots of healthy veggies and protein. I had some chicken breast and some yummy Veri Veri Teriyaki Sauce, [...]

Red Lentil Cakes with Harissa

So … I took a little hiatus last week. Things did not go according to plan and I couldn’t get up some new recipes. But. The lovely Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic made my Skillet Lasagna and wrote a lovely interview with me. I was so flattered, no one has ever wanted to interview me before! So head on over there and read all about moi. While you’re there, make sure to follow Kim on Facebook, Twitter, Google +,  and Pinterest so you can keep up with all her shenanigans. Lentils are one of the world’s most consumed foods. And for good reason, they are cheap, simple to prepare and packed with heathly vitamins and minerals and [...]

Dark Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding

Cha cha cha Chia! I am getting more and more obsessed with chia seeds. I am enjoying them in yogurt, in granola, on salads. I’m hoping to try some chia banana bread soon as well. One of the easiest and tastiest ways to enjoy chia seeds is by making pudding. Because the seeds gel in liquid, they are a great way to make tasty pudding. This pudding is super easy, I just added a bunch of stuff I had in the house, Ghiradelli cocoa powder, stevia for sweetener, and some almond milk. Skim milk or soy would work well too. I got some low calorie whipped cream at Whole Foods [...]

Roasted Beets with Balsamic Drizzle

I made an amazing discovery this weekend. We have a WINTER farmer’s market! Right down the street. I cannot tell you how happy this discovery made me. Lots of local farms, cheese, bread, pastry and other yumminess. The produce was gorgeous and there were many varieties of winter veggies. I picked up three different types of beets (don’t ask me to name them) and they looked so delicious I just had to roast them and make a salad. Now roasted beets is nothing new. This salad is not innovative or interesting or different than what you can get in many restaurants. But it was just SO GOOD that I had [...]

Friday Links & Carbs!

One of the good things about getting older is that you get to really know yourself well. Now that I’m 30, I’ve realized some universal truths about myself that took a while to figure out. I won’t bore you with most of them, but one is my absolute love of carbs. I cannot live without them. I respect the hell out of people who stick to low carb diets and have the willpower to sit still when there is a bread basket in sight. Because that is not me. To me, a life without bread and pasta is just not one worth living. There are many things I can give [...]

Benefits of Dessert Cooking Classes

There are definitely going to be a lot of benefits to taking dessert cooking classes, especially for those who want to work in restaurants or bakeries. If you feel as though your culinary skills are limited, it will be important to start looking for a place in your area that you can go to take these courses. The longer you take to do your research, the more you will get out of the courses you end up taking.

In addition to the design of the cake and decoration of the cake table, the cake topper is another representation of the happy couple.

This Canadian Video Game Restaurant is the Stuff of Triforce Legend

The notion of a gaming-themed bar is not a new one. Video games and booze, naturally, go pretty well together.

Aside from the Ms. Pac-Man console at your local greasy spoon, there isn’t much gaming to be had in the [...]

Thirsty Thursday: Kick Off Summer with a Bourbon-Cherry Slushie

It’s more than just alliteration; it’s a statement, a proclamation that Thursdays are when the weekend should really start. Kicking it off right is the key, and what better way than with a cocktail that not only takes the edge off, but tastes good too. A hard thing to disagree with, we know. Drink up, [...]

But with the warm weather approaching, I’m not giving up one of my favorite forms of dairy. These summery side dishes have enough cheese to [...]

What Food Labels Don't Tell You

Recently I discovered I needed a lesson in food labels. Most of us have become so used to buying food with fancy labels and packaging that we can hardly imagine purchasing a food that doesn't come with an ingredients list, heating and cooking instructions, cautions about containing traces of nuts or allergens, disclaimers and marketing hype, yet here's what the food labels don't tell you.

Healthy Snacks for Kids at Night

If you are looking for the healthiest choices of snacks for your kids at night, you should never veer too far away from berries. Get hold of a plate and place those berries around it in various groups. Divide up the plate into various sections where one is composed of cheese, the other one has crackers and the last one contains an assortment of melon balls. This option is very good when divided into smaller portions for one or two kids. It can also be served in larger portions depending on the number of kids being catered for.

The Top Health Benefits Of Blueberries

When it comes to antioxidants and their health benefits, guess which fruit tops the lot. Everyone knows that antioxidants are crucial to maintain and recover our health, and blueberries, out of all the fruits and vegetables contain the most. These tasty berries are one of the few fruits native to North America. The berries, leaves and roots were used for medicinal purposes, and by looking at the health benefits explained below, you will understand why.

Fruit Health

Fruit health can be very important to the well-being of our bodies for a number of reasons. Fruits contain huge amounts of vitamins, antioxidants and other nutritional compounds that our bodies need to stay healthy. Fruit is also very low in calories and can be a great substitute for high-fat, high calorie snack foods.

Cooking Healthy Food Should Be Delicious, Not Disastrous

When trying to cook healthy food it can be difficult to find meals that are low in refined sugar and saturated fat AND taste good enough to remove the temptation to eat junk food. A lot of "healthy cooking" can seem like a lot of work very little taste. It can be un-appetising at the best of times, especially when you're standing in a shop eyeing up the sausage rolls. However, it only takes a touch of creativity to turn something like a boring chicken breast portion into something much more appetising. The foods, spices, tips and tricks below can all be used as an important part of any healthy eating plan, helping you to keep on the straight and narrow by adding taste to potentially dull dishes and keeping the calories down.

Vegetable Nutrition - Empty Calories or Rich Nutrients?

Have you ever wondered about the nutritional benefits of celery, lettuce, or other leafy, boring vegetables? Probably not, but you would be surprised by the nutrients, minerals, and vitamins, that they all contain!

Recipe for Protein Pancakes - Fat Loss or Muscle Gain

Pancakes are tasty! But from a health and fitness point of view, pancakes are not the best thing you can eat. I like a bunch of pancakes swimming in lemon juice and sugar but eating something like this is not great when you're looking to pack on some lean muscle or lose some fat so I have come up with a healthy alternative.

Healthy Pizza, Low Carb, Low Fat, High Protein

Most people like to get stuck into a pizza with extra toppings once in a while. But what if you are on a weight loss (Fat loss diet)?

Make The Right Choices With Healthy Food For Yourself

Healthy food doesn't come through your car's window in a drive-through, it's not suppose to come with vinyl toys, and it doesn't remain in cardboard boxes for several weeks in warehouses. Healthy food is the food which is made at home. This food much healthier compared to those sold at low-cost fast food restaurants.
