I got a suggestion to do Bavel’s Holiday Bites – what is your favorite dish to take to a holiday party? I’m going to do a top ten countdown starting tomorrow!

So It’s holiday season and Starbucks has their fancy holiday drinks in stock. But there’s nothing preventing you from having some holiday flavor in your daily coffee brewed at home for less than the price of a Grande latte you can add a generous splash of EGG NOG to your morning coffee – it tastes great and is a nice, affordable treat! Plus, using egg nog as a substitute to creamer will be last you a few days… At the…

Happy Sunday Everyone! The weather was not inviting enough for us to want to go outside, so I made a quick egg scramble at home that was delicious! The best part of this receipe is that it tastes great and requires less than 5 ingredients that can be easily modified or replaced with what you have in your refridgerator. So here goes: Ingredients: 4 eggs 2-3 slices bacon (could use sausages, ham, or any meat if you don’t have bacon)…

My husband and I had the opportunity to have brunch this weekend and after unsuccessfully trying to try ‘The Flying Pig’ in Yaletown we ended up at Glowbal. And boy, was it worth it! I’ve been to Glowbal for dinner but their brunch menu is awesome! They make your mimosa at your table on order (love it), and there’s something for everyone with the brunch options. I had the lobster benedict, and to date THIS IS THE BEST EGGS BENEDICT…

The overall cooking time is 40 minutes, so you can prepare the dish in advance…

Either way you make it, just follow this as a guide, its too easy to mess up! Ingredients Protein: Bacon or Pancetta (thick cut) Vegetables: Whatever you have that works, typically I use all or some of the following. – Bell…

It’s funny how quickly we can forget what our typical weather is like in Vancouver. This was my first weekend in a few months where I sat at home, listened to the rain… and wanted pasta. When the seasons change with that can come change in cravings. The summer is about fresh salads, grilled meat and seafood. But the special thing about our traditionally rainy weather is the chance to really enjoy a plate of pasta and some red wine…

Hey Guys, I haven’t forgotten the summer challenge that I decided to undertake mid-July to be a Vegan until August 20th. The truth is, I only lasted 9 days on this challenge. It wasn’t meat that made me break down, but it was the absence of dairy, more specifically cheese that made this diet so hard for me to follow. Being Vegan definitely has its benefits though, some things I did learn over the course of a bit over a week of…

So, making a lunch is always a challenge, its worse when you’re trying to pack a lunch at 6am with a baby to drop off at daycare. Here’s something I threw together on a Monday morning that’s completely easy and totally vegan – Bavel’s Vegan Pasta Salad.
