I created this recipe, My Favourite Tofu Strips, inspired by, and wholeheartedly missing, a wonderful vegan joint that existed in Winnipeg called Mondragon. Mondragon was a vegan café and bookstore, housed in this city’s beautiful and historic Exchange District. Touted as Winnipeg’s anarchist icon, Mondragon was the heart of veganism in Winnipeg for a very…

cinnamon rolls, vegan and gluten free
For a couple weeks now, I have been feeling like my body is on the constant verge of a heart attack. I have no idea what a heart attack feels like, that is just the only way I know how to describe how I am feeling. It’s as though someone has my heart and lungs…
vegan bolognese
According to Wikipedia, Bolognese sauce has existed for a couple centuries, appearing in a cookbook for the first time in 1891. But for some ridiculous reason I waited twenty-four years of my life to make it. Why? Mostly because, believe it or not, I’m not actually a big fan of tomato based pasta dishes. So…
on meds (with cookies)

double chocolate hazelnut biscotti
I’m always sad on Sunday. No matter what is going on in my life, no matter my schedule, no matter if it is winter, spring, summer, or autumn, I am always sad on Sunday. It’s not so bad in the mornings, but by the mid afternoon it creeps up, slowly infiltrating my mind and body….
post-holiday ‘turkey’ soup
It’s been over a month since my last post. I kind of disappeared for a while, for both good and bad reasons. Life got busy, the days got shorter. Essentially, life happened. I left on a bit of a bad note; my last post was slightly dreary, wasn’t it? Well, thankfully, I am feeling much…
