And one last apple recipe to conclude September’s “apple fest” on Craving Greens. I hope you’ve enjoyed the journey. These sweet potato & apple cakes are delicious as an appetizer, a side dish or even as the main event. Why not serve them on a bed of greens? – “They’re kind of like crab …
Our neighbourhood recently got the addition of not one, but two new grocery stores. Both opened in early August, and they are located a mere 800 meters from each other! What a treat for foodies. I just snooped around Les 5 saisons for the first time yesterday. It’s a high-end store where you can expect to find expensive …
I’m a believer in healthy treats. Guilt-free sweets. Using whole-grain flours and as little sweeteners as possible. But you already know that. I assure you that this is the healthiest pie you will eat this summer. It will leave you feeling light and clean, rather than heavy and full like most desserts do. I …
I like nice people. My neighbour Louis surprised me with a bagful of fresh kale from his garden yesterday. He’s one of the lucky few to enjoy a plot at the community garden next to our apartment building. Over the past few weeks, he’s generously shared with me some of his plants and harvest. Have …
We returned from our trip a few days ago and I spent the weekend easing back into the routine. Grocery shopping, yogurt-making, unpacking… pretty much in that order. You know, priorities. On Sunday, we went for a long bike ride to Parc Jean Drapeau on Sainte-Hélène and Notre-Dame islands. There is a world festival going on …
Updated November 7 2017 This recipe for veggie pâté (végé-pâté) is tasty, moist and so easy to make.

Veggie Pâté 1 cup sunflower …
I settled on calling this recipe zucchini-feta “squares”, after days of struggling to find the appropriate word. English is my second language after all. But even in French I couldn’t figure it out. This dish seemed indescribable. At first, I thought I’d call it a loaf, but the outcome is quite flat and not in the usual …
Happy Thanksgiving to all Canadian readers! What are you up to for the long weekend? I’m off to Toronto for a friend’s wedding. You might know that Action de Grâce is not really celebrated among French Quebecers. Actually, it’s not until I moved to Toronto in 2001 that I became aware of how different this holiday is in …
Dear faithful readers: Happy New Year! If you still visit my blog after months of inactivity, it must be because you truly enjoy healthy cooking. Or, most likely, we are close friends or family. One of my most loyal supporters is my sister-in-law Julie, who visits my blog nearly every day despite my shameful lack …
I was raised vegetarian. Needless to say, I love vegetables. I don’t care too much for fennel and its licorice taste but other than that, veggies and I share a lifelong love story. That’s right. They love me, too.Mushrooms are without a doubt one of my favourite vegetables. I love how their taste and texture …
