The Miracle of a Good Sandwich: Classic Cheese, Lettuce & Tomato

opebetAPP/

Hey all!! Who's up for a little 'almost back to school but not quite' sandwich love? I mean, I know summer is still on here in the west, but now is the time to start looking ahead as the leaves start to turn and the days start to sneak ever so slowly towards being shorter. This post is all about the simple sandwich, which to…

Tuscan White Bean & Basil Pizza & Guest Posting

Baking,opebetAPP/

As summertime rolls on, there is one thing that can't be ignored: life is good! The weather is fine and all the summer loving & fun is being had. With that said, the focus & better yet, the time to blog has been somewhat lacking here these days, as the normal juggles & hustles make way for a slower, more relaxed take on life. We've…

Japanese Lunchbox Salad

opebetAPP,Salads,Vegan/

Hey all! Great to be back after a little blogging break and a sweet few days with family both away and here at home. Last week we drove down to Portland, which from here in Vancity is about a 6 hour drive -- something we as a family love to do together. Road trips are one of those things we look back on later…

Chickpea Cumin Fritters with Parsley Chutney

opebetAPP/

One of the challenges of eating healthfully with a family to feed is indeed those busy weeknights when there is just a lot going on. I don't know about you other moms out there, but things can get hectic with two working parents like us and 2 active school-aged kids. Try though we might to keep things together, there are times when dinner needs to…

Kale Pesto Pasta Bowl, Thoughts on Kale, & Storytelling

opebetAPP,Vegan/

I take a lot of joking around about the fact that I'm a big fan of kale. And it's true the ribbing is totally warranted, I really am a big fan. But the whole truth is, I love not only kale, but all kinds of green stuff, with kale being at the top of that list for sure. Looking at the top of that list,…

Raw Cabbage & Hummus Veggie Wraps

opebetAPP,Vegan/

As picnic season hits, and folks want to be spending more and more time outside (weather permitting of course - or not if you just want to get outside), I find the desire to be in the kitchen waning ever so (very) slightly. This is not to say I don't want to prepare food (I do), but obviously hours standing at the stove seem a…

Parmesan Polenta Fries & Chipotle Nut Dip

opebetAPP,Snacks/

I'd have to say that of all the foods out there, deep-fried foods really have never been my thing. It's no secret that I always gravitate towards clean foods versus, well, the alternative (and this is not to say I deem the food I don't prefer to eat as unclean). Read More...

On Simplicity & The Perfect Food: Avocado Toast

Breakfast,opebetAPP,Snacks,Vegan/

If we really are what we eat, then I might very well be just this. The most simple & obvious pairing that seems almost too simple to share, but to me, this most classic combo easily represents the very best in food (and in life) summed up in just two ingredients. After all, isn't this precisely what we want from our food, and really, in…

15 Minute Brussels Sprout & Tempeh Stir-Fry

opebetAPP,Vegan/

I've long wanted to feature a recipe with tempeh on the blog, so I've simply got to say this is surely overdue. The truth is, even as long-term (my whole life) vegetarian (zero meat or fish - ever), the truth is, I'm not really a huge fan of soy. Growing up, tofu was a regular feature on my mom's vegetarian dinner table, and we kids…
