Raw mint Nanaimo bars
It’s only the beginning of December and I can already smell the familiar scents of the holiday season. Cinnamon candles, gingerbread cookies, candy canes and hot cocoa are on everyone’s mind once again.

Raw recipe love
There’s nothing I love more than browsing through some of my favourite food blogs on a lazy Sunday evening. Food bloggers’ passion, and the delicious results of that passion, never fail to inspire me. Since I’ve been having fun testing out my new Excalibur over the last several weeks, I’ve been on the search for some unique raw dessert ideas. Here’s to raw recipe love…
Chocolate chip sundae sandwiches
Remember the raw dessert demo I did at the Toronto Vegetarian Food Festival back in September? Lisa and I shared some quick and easy ice cream blizzards using the miracle of banana soft serve. It is one of my all-time favourite treats because of its simple preparation: Freeze bananas. Blend until they resemble soft serve. Eat. Repeat.
Pear vanilla fruit leather
I picked up my first basket of local pears the other day—a true sign of fall. My heart was set on making something new, something easy, something using my new Excalibur.
Dehydrator basics & granola
On an average day, I tend to have way more recipe ideas in my head than I do time or oven space. I’m grateful for my own kitchen and my double oven, but that still doesn’t seem to be enough.
Enter my brand-spanking new Excalibur dehydrator, recently given to me by a wonderful friend.
Raw ice cream of your dreams
Aside from the Raw Mini Pie Challenge testing extravaganza that occurred over the weekend (we’ll be announcing the winners tomorrow!), Lisa and I also put on one heck of a raw dessert demo at the 27th annual Vegetarian Food Festival at Harbourfront Centre.
This particular festival has had a special place in my heart since moving to Toronto in 1998.
