Omelette to Go!
This is a quick, easy, and foolproof way to create a nourishing breakfast or light lunch. It can be taken to work or school and is also a good snack at any time.
1 Tbsp (15 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup (125 mL) onions, diced
1 1/2 cups (350 mL) mixed diced vegetables such as mushrooms, zucchinis, bell peppers, eggplant, broccoli, cauliflower, and tomatoes
6 large free-range eggs
1/2 cup (125 mL) cheddar cheese, shredded
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C).
To prevent sticking, line muffin pan with paper cups or a slice of bread.
Heat skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. Add onions and cook until just starting to brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add vegetables and cook for a few minutes, until tender. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
Whisk eggs in mixing bowl until frothy, stir in cooked vegetables and cheese, season to taste with salt and pepper, and pour into muffin pan.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until omelette is cooked and slightly golden on top.
Serve on its own or with a piece of toast and a turkey breakfast sausage … or pack it up to go!

Creamy White Bean Pasta
This gloriously comforting dish gets its creamy lusciousness from a can of white beans. Feel free to use whatever vegetables you have on hand instead of broccoli. Pass the pasta Instead of regular pasta, consider serving this sauce over zucchini noodles, carrot noodles, or cooked spaghetti squash.
Vegan Queso Dip
This nut-free take on classic queso dip is everything you want and more. Paired with chips, crackers, or crudités, this creamy, zesty, smoky, and oh-so-satisfying dip is easy enough to whip up for a cozy snack or as an appetizer for company. Go nuts! If you’re okay to eat nuts, try substituting sunflower seeds with 1 cup (250 mL) raw cashews.
Banana French Toast with Raspberry Syrup
Custardy French toast drizzled in pure maple syrup is a cozy, cold-weather breakfast classic. We’ve given this recipe a vegan makeover by swapping out eggs in the batter with mashed banana and a bit of ground flaxseed. This clever swap makes the French toast reminiscent of banana bread. Top it off with a decadent drizzle of raspberry syrup and you’re just a quick stint in the kitchen away from breakfast bliss. Citrus swap If you don’t have any bananas around, consider swapping for an orange. In blender, add zest of one large orange along with peeled fruit and other batter ingredients. Blend until smooth and proceed with the recipe as described.
Supersalad with Sprouted Quinoa, Beans, and Roasted Veggies
A satisfying plant-based dinner or packed lunch, quinoa and beans add filling protein, while greens, cucumbers, roasted veggies, and a probiotic-rich dressing bring texture and flavour. Try it with a creamy plant-based cheese on top, or goat cheese for non-plant-based eaters. Mix and match Use this recipe as a guideline. Add in your go-tos such as chopped walnuts or hemp hearts, pitted sliced dates, roasted cauliflower, and crumbled feta (plant-based, if desired).
