A basic pasta dough recipe is as simple as flour and water.
Whole Wheat Pizza Crust
Our Whole Wheat Pizza Crust recipe is based on her traditional methods. The photograph shown at the side is the raw dough. We forced olive slices into it and added oregano and basil flakes to the dough and let is raise in preparation for our toppings. Once you have mastered the basic pizza crust, you can make your own delicious and creative pizzas.
Chickpea Burger
Once we resolved to eat more veggies on a daily basis, we needed alternatives to animal products. It was easy to gravitate and select a “veggie” burger from our local grocer, but the problem with these alternatives is, they try too hard to simulate animal flesh. This means that instead of enjoying the look, texture, flavours of vegetables, you end up with a highly processed, greasy veg-meat that does not seem much different from the animal-meat. To our credit, we avoided them and settled to eating most of our vegetables in a form nature presented them us or with little transformation. For special occasions, burgers can be fun. Why not healthy too? For this reasons we searched and add this burger recipe. It is not designed to have similar attributes to an animal-flesh-based burger, but to be a delicious alternative on its own.
Cauliflower Wings
There was a time when we enjoyed chicken wings at our neighbourhood pub or homemade over the barbecue. Over the years, these types of unhealthy foods started to catch up with us and to improve our health we switched to a predominantly whole food plant-based eating pattern. For years now these types of foods have been gone, but not forgotten, then one day, while visiting friends in Ottawa at a local vegan restaurant our friends ordered for us to share cauliflower wings.
