Zuccheroni – Vegan Pepperoni
This started as a wild experiment for a family member who was trying to become a vegetarian. Made from thinly sliced zucchini “cured” in olive oil and spices, it can be served cold as antipasto, or baked onto a pizza.

Creamy Cucumber Soup
A light, refreshing, and tangy chilled soup full of bright fresh herbs.
Air Fired Mahi Mahi with Coconut Mushroom Caper Cream Sauces
As a busy, tired new mom, I love using the air fryer to make my night simple. This meaty fish and sauce can be served with your favorite sides or even on top of rice.
Layered Pistachio Baklava
Baklava was always the treat I bought or was gifted. I never attempted making it at home because it seemed like it would be an overly tedious task. Once you get into the rhythm of things though, the act of layering each sheet of phyllo and chopped nuts, becomes quite cathartic.
Spiced Carrots, Chickpeas, and Herbs
These golden brown carrots and chickpeas, paired with the punchy and tangy dressing, is something you’ll want to serve at every meal! Eat as an appetizer, side dish, or even main course.
Air-Fried Pumpkin Shakarparas
Growing up in an Indian-American household, shakarparas are a staple cookie for the holidays. My family makes traditional shakarparas every year, and I wanted to give my own twist on it for the fall season. I used the original recipe and adapted it for the fall season by adding pumpkin and different spices.
Vegetarian Barbe-Fu
This was a new one for me, trying to create something delicious for a team member’s going away party at work. Most of my meals/dishes are very meat forward, but she’s vegan so we tried to make her a meal she’d remember. This tofu recipe blends the flavors, techniques, and style of a normal barbecue, but replaces the meat with extra firm tofu.
Colorful Spring Time Pasta Salad
Colorful pasta made with naturally dyed spring time colors and shapes. This pasta salad is sure to become a crowd pleasing favorite as the perfect main or side dish! Only five ingredients and ready in under 20 minutes!
Gluten Free Orange Cake
This is one of my favourite guilt free treats. It’s also a high protein recipe and can be enjoyed with a variety of toppings once it’s baked. It’s one of the easiest cakes you will ever make. It can even be done with a hand whisk. This recipe can also be made with lemons.
