Crispy Quinoa Falafel
As I have been telling you, I have been trying to introduce vegetarian meals into our diet at least a few times a week. I think we are all coming to realise the impact that animal agriculture is having on our environment. Don’t get me wrong, I still love meat (I think you can tell…

Kale & Bacon Pizza
Pizza features prominently on my table as it’s such an easy meal to put together. When I’m really feeling lazy, I don’t even make a base and just use a tortilla! Pizza is also how I use up leftover pasta sauce or I make “kitchen sink pizza” using up odd bits of veg from the fridge. When I…

Vegan Carrot & Orange Muffins
So the boys had a nap today! And what did I do? I’d love to say I cleaned all the things that need cleaning or maybe acknowledged the massive pile of laundry that is permanently installed in my hallway, but no. Instead I binged watched Netflix, had a cup of tea and ate two of…

Crispy Corn Fritters
My dad’s kitchen speciality was breakfast growing up. More specifically weekend brunch (now you know that my connection with brunch runs deep). Corn fritters were my dad’s #1 most requested recipe and my brother and sister’s favourite. My favourite was his fried latkes (mainly because those have this sweet/salty flavour combo going on… which in my opinion…

Veggie “Fried Rice”
You know that funny blog, Reasons My Son Is Crying? Well today mine was because I offered grapes. Apparently just the offer was enough to set him off…even though most days he’ll eat an entire pack. Thats the pain beauty of toddlers, you never know what you’re going to get. So that’s why its so nice to…

Chinese Duck Pancakes
Living in China taught me so much about Chinese food. The sugar laden versions of what we eat in the west isn’t at all what I experienced there… so that means we don’t eat Chinese very often now that we are in Amsterdam. China is such a diverse country but if there is one thing that unites…

Sweet Potato Hash
I spent almost 10 years in New York during my 20s and a better part of that time was spent “brunching”. I was in heaven. Breakfast or really brunch has always been my favorite meal of the day. So much so that my mother always said that I would end up having a wedding brunch…

Veggie Pancakes
When attempting to feed toddlers (or children of any age because I love them too!) one should prepare themselves for war. My weapon of choice – the veggie pancake. As a necessity of survival (for everyone involved) one must have a recipe in your arsenal that you know your kids will eat and you feel good…

Crispy Chickpeas
Since I was pregnant with the boys, I suffered from pretty bad sciatic pain. Last October I was looking into different treatments and ended up reading about how grains in our diet can cause inflammation in our bodies….interesting. I decided to try a 30 day grain free diet. It was so successful that we ended up going 60…
