Plant-Based Eating and Gentle Living
There are some recipes that just become classics in your house. For us, it started with cinnamon roll waffles. I made them one morning for my husband’s birthday, wanting something more exciting than our usual breakfast rotation. We’ve always loved breakfast-for-dinner and special brunches, but that day I wanted something indulgent. Something nostalgic. Something that... Continue Reading →

I’ll admit it. I’m not really a sports fan. You probably won’t find me yelling at the TV or memorizing team stats. But there is one thing I absolutely love about classic game days and big Super Bowl parties: the food. The bold flavours, the comfort dishes, the shareable snacks. It’s basically a potluck lover’s...

Some recipes start as an idea. Others start as a craving. This one started with comfort food. I wanted the warmth and familiarity of taco night. The spices, the savoury richness, the cozy feeling of sitting down to a meal that everyone actually wants to eat (toddler parents know what I mean)...and I wanted to... Continue Reading →

If you can’t tell already, breakfast is a big deal here at The Gentle Table. We’re a slow‑morning kind of family. Pajamas linger. Coffee (or tea, in my case) cools on the counter.

You know, the kind of food that comforts, nourishes, and doesn’t require a ton of effort when energy is already running low. Bonus points if it’s something the whole family will actually eat without complaints. This Simple... Continue Reading →
One of my favourite things to make at home is sushi. I’ve always been an avid sushi admirer, especially of simple maki rolls, and learning to recreate those classic flavours in my own kitchen has been such a joy. Not only does it make sushi night more accessible and affordable, but it also allows me... Continue Reading →
Many of the most-loved and reached for recipes in our home are the ones that come together quickly, use simple ingredients, and somehow manage to please everyone at the table, kids included. This Easy Vegan “Crab” Salad checks all of those boxes. I originally started making this as a filling for vegan sushi rolls, but... Continue Reading →
As the new year begins, I felt a quiet pull to reset. Not in an all-or-nothing way, but with intention. For me, I want to focus on small, actionable goals that will help get me where I see myself. While I am happy to indulge in treats and sweets from time to time, it's too... Continue Reading →
