Banana Nutella Fudgesicles

Lisa Mai — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 04:17:23 +0000

I’ve been feeling pretty uninspired lately. Not for a lack of food ideas, heck no, these banana nutella fudgesicles were inspired by a recent post I saw on foodgawker. I’ve got nine recipes in my drafts lined up for you, but a bout of writer’s block has started to nestle in and I can’t seem [...]

Natural Red Velvet Cupcakes made with Beets

It’s been about a year and a half since I posted my favourite red velvet cake recipe on Je suis alimentageuse. Since I’ve found that recipe, I use it for my cake pops and truffles not only in red, but also in purple. It is the most well received cake recipe that I have, being [...]

Roasted Tomato and Mushroom Soup

Lisa Mai — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 05:43:41 +0000

If you’ve been following my blog at all, you may have been made aware that soup is pretty much my favourite form of food. Not just any soup though, I have a weird preference for puréed soups. Minestrone? Bleh. “Chicken” Noodle? (well, veg broth noodle) On occasion, sure. But creamy butternut squash, cauliflower, or kale [...]

Vegan Green Tea Cupcakes

Lisa Mai — Fri, 07 Jun 2013 07:06:24 +0000

Before I get into these vegan green tea cupcakes, I want to talk about my fitness progress. A few posts ago, I talked about my body image issues and my struggle with my self-esteem. In that post I kind of mentioned that I would be implementing some sort of a fitness plan for myself to [...]

Peach Mango Bellinis

I am not a party girl. I don’t hold my alcohol well, I don’t like the feeling of being intoxicated, and I actually don’t really like the taste of alcohol. Despite all that, I am not ashamed to admit that I may have gone a little overboard on Friday night to celebrate my roommate’s birthday. [...]

Vegan Popcorn Chicken

Lisa Mai — Thu, 30 May 2013 19:24:43 +0000

I have been craving popcorn chicken since the minute I went vegetarian. I was never a big fan of KFC, but popcorn chicken, YUM. It’s like the best part of KFC with a smaller chicken ratio! So when I saw this recipe for vegan popcorn chicken on Pinterest, I knew I had to have it. [...]

Mexican-Style Rice and Beans

Lisa Mai — Mon, 27 May 2013 18:35:49 +0000

It’s been so nice outside for the past while that it reminds me how much I like summer. Despite the allergies, the humidity, and the sweaty people, I quite like this season. Apparently we decided to skip spring all together and just leap into summer (climate change, anybody?) because the weather has been yo-yoing between [...]

Strawberry Raspberry Popsicles

Lisa Mai — Fri, 24 May 2013 20:44:54 +0000

Before I get into these AMAZING strawberry raspberry popsicles, I want to discuss my weight issues. People always ask me how I’m not a whale despite making and blogging all my food and desserts. I’m not “fat”, nor am I “skinny”; I’m just your average-sized-grad-student. (I’m using quotation marks because I think terms like “skinny” [...]

Bánh cuốn chay – Vietnamese Vegetarian Stuffed Rice Rolls

Lisa Mai — Thu, 23 May 2013 05:16:08 +0000

I had four delicious posts lined up for you but I couldn’t decide which one I wanted to post. I thought about posting some popsicles that I made inspired by The Slow Roasted Italian, but I thought I’d wait until it gets into those muggy summer months. I asked my followers on Facebook (hit the [...]

Summer Borscht

Lisa Mai — Mon, 20 May 2013 17:28:47 +0000

I had another Vietnamese recipe for you but because it’s so hot here in Toronto today, I thought I’d share this refreshing summer borscht soup to cool you down on a hot day. My friend Anastasia, who is the musical director of Musica Reflecta, made me this Russian summer soup and it was the brightest, [...]
