Vegan Blueberry Danishes #BCBlueberries

by Tazim Damji

vegan-blueberry-danishes

Lately, I've been on a mission to "do summer" - which to me means going to parks, having picnics, going out on road trips, swimming in lakes, and generally enjoying life outside as much as possible! With this mission in mind, I put together a recipe for vegan blueberry danishes since they're easy to make, pack, and eat during summer adventures. But, as an added bonus, blueberries freeze really well - which means you can make this recipe anytime of the year! Some of my closest friends have ...

Strawberry Apple Crumble

Looking to make your home smell home-y, warm, and inviting, you simmer cinnamon and cloves on the stove. Or, you make this strawberry apple crumble! This strawberry apple crumble is quick to make, meaning it's perfect for unexpected company, or when you're looking for a sweet treat to eat after dinner.

Strawberry Peach Smoothie (vegan)

by Tazim Damji

Peach Strawberry Smoothie

This strawberry peach smoothie tastes like summer! Use frozen pieces of fruit and you can enjoy it year-round.  I often find it difficult to eat a full breakfast first thing in the morning, so I usually have something light, like toast or cereal. Smoothies have become my go-to quick breakfast, though, for days when I'm heading out to an appointment, work, or to meet a friend. Smoothies are filling, nutritious, and easy for me to digest. They're also super-quick to make ahead. I like keeping 2 ...

Peach Turnovers (vegan/dairy-free)

by Tazim Damji

peach turnovers

Peaches. They feel so warm and cozy to me. Some people are really into watermelons, or cherries, or blueberries during the summer months - for me, it's all about peaches. I especially like getting peaches from farmers markets—I feel like they taste so much better and have a much nicer texture. Though, really - I would buy all my produce direct from farmers if I could. Luckily, B.C. is great for producing a variety of fruits and vegetables, so there's plenty around for the majority of the ...

10 Blueberry Recipes you Should Make this Weekend

by Tazim Damji

Blueberry recipes

I've become convinced that fresh-picked tastes best when it comes to berries! And berry-picking is a quintessential part of summer. A few years ago, when visiting a friend's family in London, Ontario, I got to pick strawberries (which we ate with vegan vanilla ice cream right afterwards). It was only until this past month that I got to pick blueberries - the first thing I'd picked locally. It was after that blueberry-picking experience that I decided that berry-picking would surely need to be ...

Blueberry Smoothie with Coconut Milk Yogurt

by Tazim Damji

Blueberry recipes

Quick food most often means unhealthy food. At least, that's the misconception I often hear. As someone who rarely puts together a full breakfast, since I'm generally rushing to get to work or an appointment, smoothies have made all the difference in morning routine. I love how portable, customizable, refreshing, and filling smoothies are. Since I really like starting my days with pieces of fruit, I tend to make fruit smoothies. These days, I've been choosing to include lots of BC blueberries ...

How to Make Healthy Food Choices the Easy Way

by Tazim Damji

Healthy Food Choices

My food choices are informed by the way I live life in general: I make them consciously and with deliberate action. You’ll find me at my local grocery store reading the backs of food packages, or selecting my favourite organic fruit and vegetables from the produce section. Knowing exactly what I’m putting in to my body is important to me. It’s been a while since I started making healthier food choices, choosing organic options—with no artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners—whenever ...

Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Waffles Recipe

by Tazim Damji

Vegan banana chocolate chip waffles

Breakfast in bed. Sounds amazing, doesn't it? What if it came with a mess in the kitchen included? Somehow, it's a bit less appealing! Honestly, I have to think really hard to remember what it's like to make waffles and be left with a ginormous mess to clean up afterward. You know the kind of mess I mean: gooey bits of waffle batter stuff to the waffle maker, all over the sides and just. . .everywhere! You see, I haven't had to deal with that in a while, not since I got the new No-Mess Waffle ...
