Baked Spinach Quinoa Falafels

In other words: my latest obsession. It’s taken me way too long to get a falafel recipe right. believe me, I’ve tried almost everything this year from lentils to mushrooms to wild rice. I just could not create a falafel recipe that a) Didn’t fall apart in my sandwich b) Wasn’t drier than the Sahara desert…

Thai Basil Cauliflower

Need an easy vegan dinner option? Look no further muchacho.  It does not get easier with this one. Saute some veg, throw in a couple of spices, pour in the liquid and you’re done! Don’t let my meagre list of vegetables stop you, the sky is the limit! Throw in some mushrooms here, a leek…

The Best Pasta Sauce

Butternut Squash & Kale Ravioli

Homemade pasta is one of the most irresistible things on this planet- hands down. And making homemade pasta is one of the most therapeutic activities on this planet. Don’t shoot me but I’d much rather spend an afternoon kneading soft pasta dough and rolling it out to the perfect thickness than at a loud music…
