After a long (and cold) day, I love nothing more than a cozy bowl of soup or a warming curry over fluffy rice. I typically go for brown, black or basmati rice or protein-packed quinoa for a double punch. When it comes to legume lingo- chickpeas are so rich, filling and packed with protein. I…… Continue reading Fool-Proof Chana Masala Curry
Just like its much-publicized pasta counterparts; rice is also on the edge of a stellar comeback. If you enjoy homemade sushi, paella, hearty soups, creamy risotto or orzo-like fresh salads; a new variety of products has just entered the market. It offers a rice-like experience, sans any of the white starches/sugar. It’s not orzo and…… Continue reading Creamy Tomato Risotto
Let’s be honest; Napa Valley has always been on my bucket list of top travel destinations. I’m a little bit of a red wine aficionado and the thought of the rolling valleys and green hills of wine county in hot and sunny California have always made me want to venture out there. When the California…… Continue reading Prune, Mushroom, Leek & Buckwheat Risotto
Shocker: I’ve never actually baked a loaf of bread in my life. Am not entirely sure why I’m so intimated by the entire bread-making process. Especially because I’ve managed to successfully bake (far) more difficult goodies. So I decided it’s time to change that. I am starting today and am starting with Naan Bread.

Eating seasonally simply means eating whatever is in season right now; I want to avoid buying frozen goods every time impatience hits. [Ahem, says the girl who…… Continue reading Strawberry Yogurt Muffins
Traditional spaghetti was a primary staple in my university diet. At least a once-a-week meal that we would eat, reheat and eat over the course of two days. Not very exciting to say the least; but hearty and affordable. During my 4th and final year of undergrad school, I moved into a brand new residence that…… Continue reading Buckwheat Soba Spaghetti!
I still crave Chinese takeout. There, I said it. I promised you this blog would be a brutally honest account of a person’s journey into eating and feeling well. But the Chinese food craving continues to hold true; at least for the most part. I am often strolling around Toronto’s busy streets; home to some world-class,…… Continue reading Brown Fried Rice Bowl with Veggies & Peanut Satay Sauce

It should be common knowledge that on occasion, I like to make up words. I hope you find it as endearing as my friends do. And sometimes, friends make up words for my food, as is the case with this dish. A really close friend dubbed it “Quinotto” and I just loved the term she coined. Deliciously fluffy, warm…… Continue reading Quinotto: Quinoa Mushroom Risotto
