Red Pepper & Garlic Hummus
Hummus is a staple in our house. As a returning vegetarian (Tina) and an almost vegan (Jackie), we love hummus for so many reasons!

Potato & Leek Soup *Plus* How-To Grow Leeks
Someone once told us they would never eat this soup because it looks too healthy. We politely laughed along with them, and then replied, “No problem, more for us!”.
Grilled Romaine Salad with Willowtree’s Caesar Dressing
Simply put, this is the easiest salad to prepare. Slice, grill, drizzle, sprinkle, serve, done.
We love Caesar Salad but the rich, creamy dressing almost always contains cheese and anchovies, and therefore makes it off limits to both lactose food sensitivity folks, vegans and some vegetarians. So, we’ve created Willowtree’s Casear Dressing that still packs a ton of flavor! Heat up your BBQ and tell us what you think.
A Great Place to Eat in Toronto: Fresh Restaurant
One good thing about being back from vacation is that I can share with you this super restaurant I ate at and completely fell in love with. While visiting friends in Toronto, we went to this place called Fresh.
Veggie Chili
We are not huge fans of leftovers. Sure, you will find great recipes on Willowtree that can double as your Tuesday night dinner and your Wednesday afternoon lunch because we’re constantly told how busy people’s lives are, but eating the same thing two days in a row isn’t for everybody, and for the most part, it’s not for us either. Until, that is, we realized how this super easy Veggie Chili can save you when you’ve got a crazy busy week coming up, and tastes just as good the second day.
Caramelized Onion & Arugula Salad
This salad is such a treat! It’s perfect for early Spring because it’s still a tad chilly, in Calgary that is, but the sun is shining so a nice warm salad fills that craving for comfort food. If you want to serve this as a main course, it’s a great partner to our Lemon Baked Golden Trout.
Ratatouille-Inspired Pizza
Ratatouille is a very popular French stewed vegetable dish (the word touiller meaning ‘to toss food’; so now you can say you learned something French today!) and sometimes served in a pastry or with bread. However, here I’ve adapted it to serve as an easy-to-make and uber-tasty pizza topping.
