Remember a while ago when I tried a bean smoothie and had to choke it down? Well, I tried another one and it was so delicious that I’ve already made it twice. Other than that, I’ve just been reading my novel out loud to myself and working. I’m heading to Saskatoon for the long weekend. […]

Cannellini Bean Dip/Spread
Nathan turned 40 and so we had a little wine and cheese with his friends. I made this bean dip/spread. It makes a TON. I didn’t even make the full recipe. Cannellini beans are also known as white kidney beans. Here’s what I made here. I would adapt the recipe to make even less, and […]
Lemon chickpea muffins
I have been travelling so much for work, but I’m done for a while. Yay! These muffins are really good. And they’re vegan. I hate eggs and I have decided to try cooking without them as much as possible. Lemon Coconut Chickpea muffins Dry ingredients: 1 ½ cup whole wheat pastry flour (bought at Bulk […]
Barley and lentil salad with apple and feta
Pulse Wednesday is early this week because I am on the road for work Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I got this recipe from our sister paper, “The Manitoba Cooperator”. Our sister paper is a weekly and we’re bi-weekly. They often feature recipes, and I’ve made a few of them. Lorraine, who compiles this section, got […]
Carrot and spiced chickpea salad
Things have been fairly peaceful around here, but I’m going to start doing a lot of travelling for work. I’ve got trips for the next couple of weeks. Other than that, I’ve just been reading, writing, going for walks, watching movies and watching Jane the Virgin. This post is late because I drove to Calgary […]
Pinto bean tacos with pineapple salsa
Pinto bean tacos with pineapple salsa For some reason, I can’t find the photo I took. So you get a photo of pinto beans sitting on my meditation cushion, near my aloe vera plant, in the sun, instead. I’m sorry. For some reason, I get into some flavours, and I can’t get enough of them. […]
Red lentil pasta
I can’t believe that this is the first time that I’ve featured pasta on this blog. I used to eat a lot more pasta. But my pasta eating has gone down. Right now, I’m more obsessed with meal salads, and anything that resembles a taco, burrito, enchilada, you have the picture…. I also want to […]
Indian chickpeas
(Nathan took this photo) Chickpea curry I’m still busy, but things have slowed down a bit. This past weekend, I drove to Wainwright to teach a class and do a reading. My first journalism job was in Wainwright, so it was a bit of a homecoming for me. This is the last big event I […]
Chopped Kale Power Salad with Lemon Tahini Dressing
Chopped Kale Power Salad with Lemon-Tahini Dressing Good morning. I’m thinking about the fires in Fort McMurray and all the people evacuated from their homes. If you want to make a donation, the best thing to do is to donate to the Red Cross. Today, I’m kicking off the Asian Canadian Film series. We’re showing […]
Tex-mex black bean burgers
Sorry, this is late. This morning, I turned on “self-control”, which is my social media blocker, so I could get some writing done. Then I realized I hadn’t done my Pulse Wednesday update yet. Oops. Well, I’ve been busy just putting the finishing touches on Metro’s very first Asian Canadian film series. Check out the […]
