French Toast
Can you believe that I’ve never made French toast before? My kids were beyond excited to hear about “pancake toasts” and munched down a whole bunch of these. Luckily, I made quite a few so there were enough for me too. I thought it would be timely to post these on Le Quatorze Juillet, the… Read more »

Tomato Bruschetta
I love tomatoes, and I think that the perfect way to highlight this produce is by making a tomato bruschetta. I diced a perfectly ripe tomato and added lots of chopped basil, salt, black pepper and olive oil. (Also add red onion if you like, but raw onions just aren’t my cup of tea.) Then… Read more »

And then I literally drenched the… Read more »

Portabello Club Sandwich
The past week I’ve been been feeling great, and one thing that gives me away is that I start to crave comfort food. We had a couple of takeaway meals, but I like homemade versions just as much. Like this portabello club sandwich that my husband cooked for us. All I had to do was… Read more »

Bahn Mì
I doubt that there is a better way to stuff a baguette than vegan Bahn Mì style. I just love these flavours together. It’s traditionally filled with liver paté and pork, but I’ve never had that. So to me, this is the real thing. I marinate slices of pressed tofu overnight in canola oil, sweet… Read more »

One of my favourite things to make with tomatoes is bruschetta. With ripe and juicy tomatoes, a homemade sourdough bread and a high quality olive oil… Read more »
