have you met pho? it’s a wonderfully healing noodle soup that originates from vietnam. my roommate introduced it to me when i first moved back to colorado and i was immediately hooked. loaded with ginger, garlic, and other healing spices, this dish is something i always crave when i’m not feeling my best. whether i just need a boost of vitamins, something warm on the throat, or a little spice in my life – i reach for the pho.

i’m pretty sure i have mentioned Qrunch burgers before… they are ahh-mazing. a coworker introduced them to me a while back and i have been hooked ever since. i made my quinoa patty benedict with them once, and i have also just eaten them as a side dish. i was inspired by the seasonal vidalia onions available right now. this is oh-so-simple, too. i could’ve easily eaten two, as well. 🙂 Continue reading
nothin’ says “comfort food” quite like grilled cheese and tomato soup! all gooey and cheesy, spilling over the sides as you dip small bites into the bowl… nom nom. Continue reading
i seriously love having a food processor. it has changed my life. i don’t necessarily mind chopping, it’s actually kind of relaxing to me… cooking in general is, really. but for making fun dishes like potato latkes, having a food processor makes things so much easier – and more fun.

pizza friday.
i chose to try a veggie approach {sans cheese} and went with a pesto-based pie with : Continue reading
i LOVE sprouts! love them. not all sprouts are created equal, however. i’m not a fan of ALL sprouts, but i do love pea sprouts. especially on my sandwiches!!! i want to try to grow my own some day, as they do get pretty expensive and are so perishable. but they add a ton of flavour to my favourite sammy combo – avocado and tomato. i made a yummy sandwich for lunch the other day and i had to share the recipe. i originally wanted to do a wrap, but forgot to pick some up, so i used my trusty sandwich flats 🙂 Continue reading
now, it’s not what you think. no soy products, no “fake meat” textures, no lackluster flavours.
i feed this meal to my roommate at least twice a month. it is a standard in this home. a healthier spin on the classic meat and potatoes dish. my roommate loves it, even requests it from time to time – a regular “meat and potatoes” kind of guy totally short of licks his plate dry, he likes this meal so much. Continue reading
whenever someone tells me they want to “hang out” or just be in my home in general, i always immediately start thinking about how i’m going to feed them. i swear i was an italian mama chef in a previous life because i can’t let someone come over without giving them food. Continue reading
i must say, this is quickly becoming my new favourite go-to vegan dish. loaded with flavour and super light yet filling. packed with vitamins and healthy nutrients. Continue reading
this entire meal is actually vegan – well, the butter is not. 🙂 but if you wanted to use this delicious stuff, it could be. Continue reading
that’s one long title.
this recipe was inspired from pinterest. i love stumbling upon fun things like this – the flower eggs, i mean. the creamed asparagus was an original recipe i braved without having any idea how it would taste… Continue reading
this dish was inspired because i love falafel and i didn’t want my sweet potato to go bad… nothing bothers me more than wasting food. Continue reading
the name for this dish came to me when i was trying to type out all the ingredients.
– mushroom
– asparagus
– leek
– tomato
– MALT 🙂 malt frittata – that’s what i’m calling this dish, since i created it 🙂 Continue reading
sure, that’s a good title for this concoction – haha.
i wanted to use up the polenta i had in the fridge from earlier this week, so i made this dish around that. as i mentioned before, i am all about ‘”the pile” lately – kind of like a salad – some stuff is cold, some is cooked or warm… it’s my new thing i guess. my roommate always asks, “is this an audrey creation or did you find this recipe somewhere?” when i said, “i just made this up.” his response was, “you’re so creative in the kitchen!” that makes me smile! 🙂 Continue reading
it seems that with every blog i do, i forget a step or omit something {unintentionally or otherwise} and for this i am sorry. i will get better in the future. in this case, i forgot to photograph the zucchini… Continue reading
spring has sprung here in colorado! my garden is sprouting like crazy, the sun has been shining for a week straight, and i’ve seen people in flip flops already! i love it. Continue reading
who says you can’t have a little fun with your food on the weekends?!
i’m all about rewarding yourself — or perhaps a better way of saying it is listening to your body. Continue reading
