Introducing 1-Bowl Chickpea Fritters
This Chickpea Fritter recipe checks all the boxes: simple to make, inexpensive, versatile and full of flavour. Made with earthy mint, hits of fresh ginger, a touch of heat, and my new go-to ingredient for adding citrusy punch: frozen concentrated orange juice! Serve with generous dollops of Minty Orange Yogurt.
Budget-Friendly
Whew! It's getting expensive out there!
Check out some of my favourite recipes that not only taste yummy but are easy on the budget too!
This Hearty Tomato Vegetable Soup is always a crowd pleaser and it's a great way to use up small amounts of vegetables lurking in your fridge or freezer.

What Exactly Is Plant-Based Eating?
Learn which foods are included, how plant-based eating compares to vegan and other diets, and tips on replacing dairy and eggs.
Where do I get my protein?
If you follow the Standard American Diet, your dinner plate likely has something starchy, such as potatoes or rice, a handful of veggies, and a big piece of meat taking centre stage. So naturally, when thinking about trying a plant-based diet, you ask: "Without that steak on your plate...where do you get your protein?"

How do I replace eggs?
From your breakfast pancakes to the mayonnaise on your sandwich at lunch, to the fresh pasta or fried rice you have for dinner -- eggs are everywhere. The good news is that there's an almost-free replacement for many recipes. It's called aquafaba and it's amazing, and almost free!

What about sugar?
All sweeteners are made from plants, with the exception of honey. However, some plant-based eaters avoid refined sugar, such as white sugar, for health reasons.
Additionally, if you're eating plant-based to avoid animal cruelty, you may wish to avoid some types of sugar that are processed with animal by-products.
