bang bang broccoli

I was so happy when I had broccoli in my veg box because my friend had made the bang bang broccoli recipe in the Guardian and said it was fabulous. I decided to try it and indeed it was fabulous! It is easy and delicious and vegan (you can use whatever milk you want) and…

aubergine and feta rolls

This is a lovely thing to do with an aubergine/eggplant. It makes for a nice filling in a bun or on toast or a side dish or starter. All you need is aubergine/eggplant, olive oil, a can of tomatoes, garlic, some spices, non dairy/dairy feta and a bit of milk to loosen it up, fresh…

potato, bean, tofu salad with harissa dressing

The photo is a little blurry, but the salad is super yummy! It was a treat to have purple potatoes in my veg box this week, so I had a really pretty and colourful salad. I also had green beans and some super pretty purple and green lettuce in my box, so I thought I…

Oatmeal fruit muffins

I’m fussy about muffins. I have 2 muffin recipes I used pretty exclusively and they are both from Calgary-based chef Julie Van Rosendaal who is simply fantastic. One recipe uses oats and yogurt, so I use it when I have oats and yogurt. The other uses whatever oil and whatever milk. Both recipes will accommodate…

broccoli stalk spread

I had a tiny broccoli in my veg box which was perfect for some broccoli carrot peanut noodles, but I wanted a use for the large stalk I had leftover. I decided to make a nutty, sorta cheesy, vegan spread for bagels/toast. It isn’t a looker, but it is rather nice! Here is what I…

breakfast peppers

I had a few lovely long green peppers in my vegbox and I wasn’t quite sure what to do with them. I decided to stuff them with things I might like for breakfast and have stuffed breakfast peppers! What I did is get some vegan sausage and break them into tiny pieces and mix them…

coconut peanut rice

If you like peanuts, this is quick and easy and works with any nice veg and protein you have kicking around. I had lovely green beans and carrots from my veg box and some smoked tofu in the fridge. Here is what I did. Put some rice to cook, however much you want and however…

rainbow chard pasta with olive tapenade

I wanted a simple pasta dinner that made use of the beautiful rainbow chard I had in my veg box. This was super fast, easy, and delicious. Here is what I did. Set a pot of salted water to boil and cook pasta. While pasta is cooking, separate chard stems from leaves, and sauté stems…

rainbow curry

I had all the beautiful colours in my vegbox this week, so I decided to make Meera Sodha’s new potato, chard, and coconut curry recipe. Since I had carrots and green beans in my box, I threw those in with my potatoes and rainbow chard. This tastes as lovely as it looks. I’m so pleased….
