Sage, Walnut and Cauliflower Stuffed Butternut Squash

The leaves are slowly starting to fall and the chill is slowly setting in ( and I mean slowly, because as I’m writing this post, Toronto is supposed to have 20+ weather this whole week!) But hey, we’re not gonna let the confusing Toronto weather squash our excitement for Fall, are we?

Warm Lentil, Beet and Spinach Salad with Roasted Eggplant

You know when you want something warming and hearty but you don’t feel like soup or stew? Sometimes you wanna slurp on something and sometimes you don’t. Well, insert this lentil and beet dish! This totally did the trick for me on Saturday night.

I had worked all day and didn’t feel like exhausting any more effort. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good time-consuming, super extra and mess-making dinner, but sometimes my energy is too tapped out for that, y’know? Plus, I’ve been wanting to use up my dry legumes (if you caught my recent insta-story, you would know that I have huge bulk bags of dried legumes, like mung beans–thanks, Costco!) Legumes are an excellent source of protein and can easily replace your typical meat-heavy recipes. For example, lentils can replace beef in sheppards pie, tempeh (fermented soy beans) can replace your beef in a bolognese sauce and can also become tempeh “bacon” to replace the usual pork bacon.
