The "TikTok Pasta"

You may have seen many versions of the “TikTok Pasta” going around… I finally decided to make it (vegan of course) and it turned out wonderfully! Super quick to prep, most of the time is spent with it cooking and roasting in the oven. […]

Easy Vegan Indian 'Takeout' with Naan

Indian food was always a favourite go-to takeout meal in winter but when I jumped onto the plant-based bandwagon, it wasn’t an option anymore. It had been years since I had Indian food and with the cold November wind upon us (and the election looming) I needed a distraction and some comfort food in equal measures.

So, here is my easy vegan Indian feast with Naan menu: Vegan Butter Chick’n, Red Lentil Dahl, Roasted Cauliflower, Vegan Naan Bread, Basmati Rice. You’ll need approximately 2 hours tp prep, but I start the dough and rice in advance then go and do other things until about 40 min before dinner. […]

I felt a sense of community and comfort working there and practicing yoga. I even started to teach yoga towards the end of my time at Luna (and in Canada). […]

Aquafaba brownies

Every year I bake brownies for Luna Yoga Teacher Training graduation. What better way to celebrate life's accomplishments than with chocolate? There are thousands of vegan brownie recipes out there, and I look for every opportunity to try another one from the list. In the past months I've been cooking a lot with canned chickpeas and I save the liquid for vegan meringues and marshmallows (the liquid freezes really well!). So when I saw a brownie recipe with aquafaba (that's the liquid that comes from canned beans), I was excited to try it out. […]
