I’ve been getting more requests from my patients for vegetarian dinner options that contain a good amount of protein. Even for cooking for my own family at home, I like to try out meatless meals on the occasion but I’m always contemplating how to boost the protein content as my workouts consist of lifting heavy…

Cauliflower Chickpea Curry
Curry is one of my favourite foods but as much as I love ordering in from our local Indian curry spot, I love making it at home with this simple and relatively painless recipe. Once you have the staple Indian spices in your pantry, whipping up a quick weeknight curry is delicious and easy. Staple…
Summer Medley with Garlic Scapes
The beginning of summer is a great time of year for fresh garlic scapes. These vibrant, green, curly stalks of garlic tops impart a great garlicky flavour but are mild enough to use in salads, soups, pasta sauces, and hold their own as a main ingredient in vegetable stir-fries. They’re nutritious (vitamin K, folate, vitamin…
Roasted Garlic Cauliflower
This is a great recipe for an easy and quick vegetable side to complement any weekday meal. It’s savoury and delicious and because cauliflower is one of those vegetables that doesn’t have a strong flavour; it can pretty much go with anything. The best part about it is it’s not steamed or boiled. Don’t get…
Winter Beef Stew
Brrr. On cold winter days like these, there’s nothing better than staying warm under my double duvet (<– you read that right, TWO duvets) covers pulled right up to my ears. Everything is so toasty right from my toes to my nose. But we can’t all stay in bed all day, right? So, staying warm…
Lemon Dill Salmon
It has forever been a challenge to make a fish dish that Graham and I can both really enjoy. Don’t get me wrong — I love fish. Everything from mackerel and sardines to halibut and salmon. Graham, on the other hand, not so much. Growing up, my mom prepared a lot of fish for us…
Vanilla Maple Almond Buckwheat Granola
Granola is one of those foods I have to come to appreciate just this past month. l would always hear of having it for breakfast or making your own and yet every time l tried it, l couldn’t figure out what the big deal was. My experiences with granola amounted to variations of dry toasted oat…
Roasted Spaghetti Squash
Can I let you in on a little secret? I don’t really like squash. There. I said it. It’s okaaayy but I find the texture is a bit too mushy and sweet for my liking, especially for a vegetable. I prefer my veggies to have a bit of crunch and squash just doesn’t do it…
