These are the recipes that I create in my kitchen. I live in a small down town Toronto apartment. I love to cook, and I hope these recipes inspire you to love food, love life and love your friends and family. Food builds community, inspires life and keeps you healthy. Food is meant to be fresh, colourful and vibrant, not dull and out of a box. My recipes are meant to encourage you to experiment, they are guidelines not rules so add more, or less, but please enjoy.

Autumn Veggies
This was a delicious autumn veggie dish. It had all the colours of the rainbow, amazing flavours and beautiful colours.
Autumn Veggies
-1 large leek chopped
-1 sweet potato chopped
-4 beets (boiled, peeled and sliced)
-1 medium zucchini
-1 bunch of kale
-1 tablespoon sesame seeds
-1 tablespoon poppy seeds
-1/4 cup blanched almonds
-salt and pepper
-1/2 small pomegranate
Sauce
-1 tablespoon sweet and smoky mustard
-1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
-3 tablespoons olive oil
-juice of 1 lime
-3 tablespoons maple syrup
-salt and pepper
In a frying pan add a small amount of oil, add leeks, sweet potatoes and zucchini. (I had boiled the beets for 20 minutes already, I boil them by just cutting the greens off and when boiled I cut the top and root off and the skin will slide off with your hands). Allow to cook until sweet potato is soft, then add the beets sliced. Allow to cook and the colour to blend with the rest of the veggies. Add the poppy seeds, sesame seeds and almonds. Allow them to brown. Then add the kale. When the kale has cooked a bit, drench with the sauce and top with the pomegranate seeds. So delicious.
