I like to go meatless at least once a week (though I don’t always get to) and recently, I decided to make baked eggs. This would also make an amazing New Year’s Day brunch dish (if you’re still looking for ideas). Ingredients: 4 egg whites + 2 whole eggs (large) A little more than 1/4 […]
You’ve probably seen the picture on Instagram. I made this baked tofu recipe a couple of weeks ago and my husband and I enjoyed it very much. It’s not directly inspired by any specific tofu recipe (though it’s based on the maple dijon chicken I made in late 2013) I’ve seen online, just something I […]

I’ve eaten there several times since its launch in February and have noticed much improvement in terms of selection. Half sandwiches […]

It’s very much part of Chinese culture in general (yet, there’s a lot of “body shaming” if you’re […]
With Thanksgiving just a week away for Canadians (and under two months for those of you south of the border), some of you may still be looking for food ideas, especially alternatives to the standard turkey or ham. Recently, I was invited to a tasting event at Whole Foods Yorkville that included items that were […]
Yes to Fresh, a not-so-fast food place on King and Jarvis is a mix between Freshii and Sandwich Box. The menu features sandwiches, salads as well as rice or noodle bowls and diners can pick what they want with their meal via a slip of paper on a clipboard, similar to Freshii (unlike Freshii, there […]
With the weather warming up and bathing suit season coming earlier than usual, I have gone into turbo-mode trying to get fit for all my pretty summer outfits. This mixed bean salad is the perfect afternoon snack or light meal for everyone trying to get in shape for summer, but is so delicious that you […]
