Vegan Alternatives to Summer Food Favourites

Vegans—you don't need to feel left out when your friends are enjoying the best summer foods! Whether you're vegan or you're having one over for a summer get-together, these ideas will have you re-thinking the whole notion that vegan food is bland and difficult to put together.

Vegan Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip

by Tazim Damji

Vegan Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip

In an effort to savour memories of various times of the year, I've taken to embracing seasonal fruits and vegetables by creating season-centric meals. This Vegan Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip is sure to be a fall-favourite. Growing up in Houston, Texas, it was sometimes hard to tell what season it was based on the weather. That couldn't be further from the truth in Calgary, Alberta - where my family moved to when I was 12. Being surrounded by new-to-me family meant a lot of get-togethers and seasonal ...

Vegan Pumpkin Waffles

by Tazim Damji

Vegan Pumpkin Waffles

You know how it is: you make a recipe using pumpkin puree and you're left with half a can of it, not sure what to make next. That's kind of how this recipe for vegan pumpkin waffles came about. I had just a bit of pumpkin puree and a bunch of pumpkin butter left, not knowing what to use it in. Luckily, the pumpkin butter will last a while in the fridge, but the pumpkin puree is another story. This post contains affiliate links. That means, if you click on anything and make a purchase, it's ...

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!

Winter Skincare for Aging Skin

by Tazim Damji

Winter skincare for aging skin

Vegan. Made in Canada. Two reasons why I am loving the Rocia products I've been sent to help my skin stay hydrated during the dry winter months. Winter skincare for aging skin is no joke—I've seen countless high-priced skincare products targeted towards women concerned with how best to take care of their aging skin. Natural skincare for aging skin When I see ads for anti-aging skincare, I often see depictions of women (I guess men don't worry about wrinkles and fine lines as much as women?) ...

Easy Vegan Haleem

Sometimes, you want a quick meal; something that is easy to put together and eat. Other times, a slow meal is what you're craving. In the case of haleem, you'll be able to enjoy the process of making the meal, plus the end result (isn't it great when you can love the journey AND the destination?). But, just because haleem is a slow-cooking kind of meal, that doesn't mean that it's hard to create.
