Mind Your (Fake) Meat
I’m not a vegan, but I’ve bought meat alternatives before. I remember the first time I purchased some Beyond Meat Burgers, I googled every unrecognizable ingredient. People made comments about these foods being highly processed, but I ignored them. I’ve gotten a kick out of how closely some pretend meats resemble the real thing. And…

A Taste of Home
I haven’t read the article yet. But I feel like seeing Bee Quammie in the Toronto Star has freed me to write this post. A few years ago, there was a story in the Star about roti. As a Canadian of Caribbean descent, I was disappointed, and I know that I wasn’t alone. For those of…

In prasie of pizza

RUNday: Smooth Moves
Lately I’ve been making smoothies featuring my staple ingredients. A Banana – I’ve tried to make smoothies without a banana before. I can’t help feeling as though something’s missing. Maybe I have a potassium deficiency? Fruit – It doesn’t matter to me if it’s fresh or frozen. I enjoy adding strawberries and other goodies. Pineapple…

No sugar tonight.
What did I do after I came home tonight? Well. I made this. Banana bread. The recipe is right here. At first I was worried. Although crusty on the outside, whenever I stuck a knife in a loaf, it came out goopy. A Little Birdie told me that my grandma used to refer to this…

And another thing.
Tonight as I was using the food processor, it occurred to me that I left out yet another detail from my recipe tips. (If you don’t know which recipe I’m referring to, just read my last 2 posts. 😉 ) In addition to watching the amount of beans that you use, you may find that…
