The Easiest, Yummiest Homemade Granola
Earlier in the year, before the pandemic hit, I was at my friend Sarah’s house and had the best granola I’ve ever had. The crispy oats and pecans had the perfect amount of crunch, and the zesty orange, cinnamon, and cranberries really gave it a unique, delicious taste. “I made it! It’s so easy,” she … Continued
Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins
I don’t know about you, but I’m kind of loving the cooler weather fall has brought us here on the Island. It means more indoor time to bake and sit by the fire (or heater, in my case). I recently made these bad boys and needed to share them. They are oh so gooey and … Continued
Healthy Lentil Curry
Yes, it’s true that summer is over. Cozy sweaters, colour-changing leaves, and fall cuisine are all positives we can look forward to. I’m reminded of all my favourite fall dishes I like to cook. I’m not much of an inventive chef, but I’m constantly browsing the internet for easy, delicious, and healthy meals. My recent … Continued
Comfort Bread
Well, I’ve been waiting for the time when we’re all holed up with time to actually cook. Humour me and give some new recipes a shot in between online classes this week. Besides, is there anything more comforting than a thicc loaf of focaccia bread? Unless you’re GF, in which case please avert your eyes. … Continued
“Study snack” chicken empanadas
Salsa counts as a vegetable. You can quote me on this. So, when my mom sent me a jar of her homemade recipe, I knew I could tell my doctor with a straight face that I’d been eating my veggies. It’s also coming up to the end of the semester. When this issue hits the … Continued
IP pulled pork for an army
Now that the semester is done (except for us sad saps cramming their summer full of courses), it’s time to gather with friends and toast to making it through. And that means you’re going to have to feed a small army. Either because you have a small army worth of people invited or because you … Continued
Yes, you can IP lasagna
I was going to try and write a recipe that wasn’t for the Instant Pot, wondering if I should message my mom and ask her how to make puffed wheat squares. But our graphics team was very adamant I write up the lasagna recipe I was humbly bragging about the other day. And I am … Continued
The sloppiest of joes
The canned stuff is easier, the bagged mix is faster, but if you’re trying to impress someone, making your own sloppy joes is an easy go-to. Pair it with that fancy pan of rice crispy squares you whipped up last issue, and you’ll be looking ridiculously suave. THIS particular recipe has rules. Rules that have … Continued
This is not an Instant Pot recipe
Someone (definitely not our Managing Editor) thought I was writing too many Instant Pot recipes and challenged me to expand my cooking horizons. Jokes on him though—there’s really only one thing I can make outside the Instant Pot at this point: Rice Krispie squares. Even though this is a ridiculously easy recipe, you do get a … Continued
That Instant Pot pasta dish
I get it, you’re sitting here wondering “why the hell does this dude keep posting recipes for an InstantPot? What the hell kind of university student has access to one of these beasts?” What I’m saying is that you need to just succumb to the trend and figure out how to get your hands on … Continued
Easy AF Instant Pot beef stew
Winter is setting in, there’s a nip in the air, and the hope that reading week offered is now gone. Did you really get as much as you were hoping for done? If you’re going to be continuing the late-night streak, you’re going to need a hearty meal to keep you trudging along. And stew … Continued
Caramelized onion hummus
This hummus tastes even better than the store-bought version—and it won’t give you garlic breath. Ingredients 1/2 of a medium onion, thinly sliced vegetable oil of your choice, for frying juice of one lemon 3 tbsp tahini 1 tsp salt, or to taste 3/4 vegetable oil of your choice, or water for a lighter version—a … Continued
Vegan chocolate drops
This no-bake cookie is one of the easiest things you’ll ever make, and a perfect treat to make for Easter. Ingredients: ½ cup vegan butter, margarine, or coconut oil ¼ cup and 2 Tbsp cocoa powder 2 Tbsp vegan milk ⅔ cup sugar 1 ½ cups quick oats or rolled oats 1 cup coconut … Continued
Vegan chocolate cake recipe
This vegan chocolate cake is also called Depression Cake, because it was common during the ’30s when milk, butter, and egg supplies were limited. The addition of vinegar has no effect on the taste of the cake and helps the ingredients rise in a similar way to a cake made with eggs. The recipe makes … Continued
