Beet, Bean and Barley Soup

Garden goods are coming in faster than I can cook them! What better way to enjoy it all on a cool and rainy day than by making soup.

No-Bake Fruit Squares

These squares are the no-bake version of the double-stuff fruit squares already featured on the blog and a great choice for entertaining, brunch or afternoon snack.

Baked Barley (and/or Buckwheat)

The calendar may say summer, but the thermometer said 4 degrees Celsius this morning. That begs for something warm baking in the oven. Result: baked barley.

Convalescence Soup

My North American answer to the kitchari of India and the congee of China is this soup.

Basic Veggie Pâté

This is a basic all-purpose veggie-centric spread that works beautifully on crackers, toast, in sammiches or pan-fried and crumbled on top of a salad.

Jerk Tofu and Veggies + Rice and Beans

There’s no way to kick off the grilling season like some smoky, spicy, jerk sauce smothered all over a thick slab of tofu and a side of juicy vegetables.

Savory Kale Cake

An unusual and veggielicious side dish to serve with a soup for lunch or as a centerpiece at brunch.
