When I was a kid we always had cans of baked beans in the cupboard. It was a quick meal and better for us than spaghetti-o's. We always ate them on their own, rather than having them as part of a meal, and that's the way I've always thought of them. I don't buy processed food, but I still love baked...+ READ MORE

I love tapas, maybe it's the idea of trying a bunch of different foods and never feeling like you indulged. It's like eating five fun sized candy bars but refusing to eat one regular sized candy bar.

I've been adding more whole grains to our diet lately and I'm frankly surprised at how much I am enjoying it. My mother always put barley into her vegetable soup, so I grew up enjoying that chewy texture, but it was pretty much the only way I ever ate it. We didn't have anything like buckwheat, or...+ READ MORE

When I was making Onion Bhaji for my Oscar Potluck Party, I started thinking about street food from other cultures. All over the world, people can buy fabulous food from street vendors, and usually at a pretty low cost. Despite the fact that Toronto boasts one of the most diverse populations in the...+ READ MORE

Mondays are always busy for me and fitting in the time to cook dinner was always a problem. I'm sure many of you live this way all week. You get home from work and have to get something on the table quickly because a family member has to rush off to sports practice or a lesson. My husband and I both...+ READ MORE

While in Key West over the holiday season we found this wonderful little organic restaurant called Help Yourself. The hot spot provides "food as it should be," before the onslaught of chemicals, pesticides, and processed foods are so rudely introduced into the food chain.+ READ MORE
