Recipes

We’ve said goodbye to all things kale and hello to cauliflower, given up on the cronut and opened our ovens to the southern buttermilk biscuit. Thanks to the latest food trends, menus this year are going to be seriously delicious. Here are a few recipes you can try at home to tap into what’s hot in food for 2015.

Bagels: they’re good for breakfast, amazing for lunch, and when you’re in the mood for comfort food, you just can’t beat them. Instead of heading to the store to get your bagel fix, I’ve got two recipes you can use to create your own. Are you a Montreal bagel person or feeling a little New York-ish? Here’s your chance to find out.

 I like to host parties, but I’m realizing that I have to add vegan options to the appetizers I serve. Since summer calls for BBQ, here are some vegan recipes that will earn star status on the grill.  

Have you ever wondered what’s in those store bought popsicles? I’ll skip the secrets and just go ahead and tell you that besides water, the only other real ingredient is sugar. Not just one type of sugar either – the last box I picked up had both sugar syrup and corn syrup, not to mention other artificial ingredients to give them colour and flavour. That’s why the Zoku Quick Pop Maker is one small kitchen gadget I don’t want to be without this summer.

Although I’ve opted for an artificial tree this year, I’m sticking to my plan to make all of my Holiday treats from scratch, and this week I’ve been baking Christmas tarts. Tarts of any type don’t last long in my house, so this year I’ve branched out a bit and made all of the tart recipes I normally do.

Have you attended a family Thanksgiving, only to feel as though you’ve spent your one day off with a bunch of crazy people? Were you invited to a friend’s house but had to decline because you had family commitments? Well my friends, you’re in for a treat, because right now is the time of year when people celebrate Friendsgiving, and that means you have a second chance for food, fun, and time spent with your best friends.

I think the saddest part of the Holidays being over isn’t packing up the Christmas tree and decorations – it’s the packing up of the cookies, candy, and all of the fattening goodies to make way for healthier food on our shelves. December is definitely one of those times when people overindulge, and when January comes flying in fast and furious, it’s time to get serious about leading a healthy lifestyle again. If you’re looking for a great way to give you a kick-start, look no further than juicing.  

Soup recipes come in handy when it gets cold out, so if you're spending the weekend inside because of the weather, here are a few to warm you up.

If you've seen photos of Unicorn hot chocolate and wondered how to make it, you're in luck. I've got a recipe and video that will help you make this magical drink at home.
