The peas are the star in this dish. Each ingredient was chosen for its willingness to honor and glorify the Spring Pea. This dish is light and airy with the authority of a complete meal. I think you are going to love this with any type of pea…fresh or frozen. Have a delicious day.

I love Brussel sprouts. I love their hearty texture and pungent flavor. I really like the huge stalk they grow on and that they look like miniature cabbage. It seems like they are a polarizing edible, either you are a lover of the Brussel or an adversary. This dish could bring you to the dark side […]

Sometimes I crave green food. This seems implied from someone living a vegan lifestyle but it really isn’t. When I came home from work last night feeling dejected and sulky, I polished off a bag of pita chips then fell into a deep carbohydrate induced nap. When I woke up several hours later I had […]

Happy Meatless Monday. In honor of Canadian Thanksgiving, I have used Canada’s Meatless Monday logo. If I were celebrating Thanksgiving today I would want a heaping plate of all things veg, so I could truly give thanks for my body, my health and the amazing vitality and peace of mind that comes with eating a […]

Ever since I read about the flax seed egg replacer in The Ultimate Vegan Baking Cheat Sheet I have been smitten with the idea. In the past I have viewed baking like a science experiment and believed that there was little wiggle room when it came to key ingredients like eggs and oil. Clearly, that […]

Photo By: S. Duquet It was bittersweet when I spied the first Delicata Squash at our farmers market. I thought,”I really love those, why did they have to come so soon?” The debut of locally grown winter squash is a pretty good indicator that my beloved Summer has come and gone. It was such a […]

Image Courtesy of 4seasonsgreenhouse.net The necessity to use the abundance of green tomatoes we had, the desire for a quickie meal and the love of all things green were the collective inspiration for this dish. We threw everything in the food processor, boiled pasta, wilted kale and had a stunning meal. Photo By: S. Duquet […]

Ever since we began following the Engine 2 Diet I have been making our salad dressings. I love experimenting and appreciate being able to limit the sodium and omit the oil.
