I always have some homemade granola in my cupboards. It is so easy to make, and I find it way better than the store-bought kind. The best part of making your own granola: you can definitely make flavours you would never find in a grocery store!

Curried Red Kuri Squash Soup
I got a beautiful red kuri squash in my organic food basket a couple weeks ago. I never had this squash before.

I wanted to add some garam masala at first, but I finally opted for
Tangy Mango-Kiwi Smoothie
With the colder fall weather, smoothies are not my breakfast staple anymore (hello, yummy oatmeal!). However, when I work out in the morning, I still favour a smoothie since it is the only thing that is quick enough and that doesn’t weight me down if I work out half an hour after drinking it (not eating anything before working out is definitely not an option for me).
Grand Marnier Orange-Chocolate Cupcakes
The perfect cupcakes for an Halloween party… … or for a sweet treat any time of the year! I had the sudden urge to make cupcakes this weekend and flipped through my cookbooks for ideas.

Wild Rice & Cabbage Soup (vegan, oil-free & gluten-free)
Fall weather pointed its nose in September. While I enjoy summer, colder weather makes me happy because I then have to eat tons of soups and stews and I loooove soups and stews! They are so comforting after being out in the cold. We’ve also been having a lot of ups and downs in temperature this year; it actually feels like there are 10 seasons now sometimes.
