Jalapeno Hummus Ravioli
I have been experimenting with hummus a lot lately while serving as the Sabra Brand Ambassador on MixingBowl.com and decided to try a Hummus Ravioli recipe they shared on their Facebook Page. I spent a bit of time debating about which hummus flavor to use: lemon, roasted red pepper etc. and decided to go spicy with the jalapeno flavor. I was not sure how this would taste but imagined it could be fun and boy was I right. I honestly thought it tasted like a jalapeno popper. This is a really quick recipe and would really impress guests. Which flavor of Sabra Hummus do you think would taste great in the ravioli? Ingredients (4 servings/3pcs. per person): 12 wonton wrappers 4 Tablespoons jalapeno Hummus 2 Tablespoons olive oil Directions: 1.

Homemade Snickers Bars
Insanity. That’s what this is. Pure In.San.It.TEEEEE. You know those days when you’re in desperate need of sugar and you’ve already downed more gummy vitamins than recommended while seriously considering how many more you can ingest without causing severe harm to your internal organs? Well… in that case you should make some homemade snickers bars. And I KNOW you know what I’m talking about. I spent the majority of my pre-pubescent and adolescent years scheming just how I would be able to steal my brothers’ Halloween candy. Then I went through a SERIOUS phase of those Snickers ice cream bars. And that you can eat a million of them. These days, it’s rare that I crave actual candy, often preferring some chewy cookies or super rich cheesecake or a bar of amazing chocolate that costs thrice as much as the recent organic meyer lemons I purchased. They are the peanut butter to my jelly. The salt to my pepper. The broccoli to my… wait, no. But now Nikki is like my bestest friend ever. nougat layer
Cheeky Kitchen & Good, Holy Heck Portabella Burgers
People. I know you’re busy. I know you’ve got things to do and people relying on you. Hogwash. There is nothing more important than you grabbing your keys, hightailing it to the grocers, and buying everything you need to make these burgers stat. Yes, I said STAT. Thing is, I can prove to you how awesome these burgers are by telling you a story. I was working on a bunch of freelance recipes this morning. Do you see where this is going? Hmmm. And then, good high and holy heck. Topped with tomatoes. Suddenly I realized…Tablespoon wasn’t getting this recipe. Yes, I just said Basil Mayonnaise. Hello? What?! Because I didn’t want to do this to you. These are seriously the best portabella burgers ever.
Spinach Tofu Patties
I love vegetarian burgers because they're usually packed with lots of vegetables and other yummy ingredients, and there are so many ways to enjoy them - you can put them in between a bun and dress them up with your favourite toppings, but they are often just as good or even better on their own, without the bun! These patties definitely fit into the latter category. They are so flavourful that I preferred to just eat them with a fork rather than hiding them in a bun underneath other toppings. The patties themselves are actually made with tofu, but you would probably never guess just by looking at them (and you could probably serve these to a tofu-hater without them knowing either!) They are also filled with spinach and asian flavours like sesame oil and soy sauce. I decided to add some peanut butter to mine too, to go with a sort of asian peanut sauce theme.

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
Updated 9/22/11 to Add: If you’re coming here to sample these delicious Cinnamon Roll Pancakes, you just might like the latest recipe that I’ve posted for Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Pancakes too. And Gingerbread- Cinnamon Roll Pancakes too. Enjoy! Here’s a short video sharing how to make these delicious pancakes: If you’ve ever thought you needed a reason to eat pancakes, today is the day: National Pancake Day! How do you like your pancakes? But recently I started dreaming about mixing cinnamon rolls and pancakes together… and this is what I came up with- my new favorite pancake: Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. I have a wonderfully fluffy pancake batter that I like to use (recipe below) so I swirled a bit of cinnamon roll filling into the pancake. And they cooked up just like a pancake- fluffy, but with craters of crusty, sugary cinnamon swirled within. You might find three of these stacked in a fancy breakfast restaurant, but I’m gonna tell you that one pancake is all you need. Oh yeah. Ingredients:

Five years ago, I was bracing myself for the first holidays without mom by giving myself a break and visiting a friend in NYC for a week. It had been a whirlwind that fall and I was breathless – taking care of her affairs, navigating family matters, treading lightly in my own mind. Getting away was what I needed. To have my feet off the ground. To feel funny and vivacious. To be myself. Five years later, it’s been another whirlwind year for a lot of reasons. I look around at a house that’s almost furnished, a blossoming career, our little family that I feel like I might work too hard at because I’m afraid I’m not good at it and there’s something I don’t see. I want to feel light again. Transparency is hard here for me these days. I want to write a cookbook. Two recipes from holidays spent away from home have been rattling around in my head for weeks – maybe it’s nostalgia rearing its head. Raw Kale Salad with Balsamic & Pomegranate – serves 6
