#106 The Case of French Banana Toast

Does this picture make you hungry? Now imagine it drizzled with maple syrup. French Banana Toast is just a matter of slicing a ripe banana over hot-off-the-griddle pieces of French Vanilla Toast.

      Hi Sara! Yup, and French Banana Toast is quite healthy too. One portion fruit, two portions grain, one portion protein. Sure beats what I had for breakfast this morning. A glass of milk and a stick of chocolate with hazelnuts. Don't tell anyone...

      While this post is up, I expect the flowers to behave exactly as I described in my post above. I see some blue but I wouldn't describe my view as a carpet just yet. I sense the Academy Awards of spring are just around the corner.

      Dear Megha, I'm honoured that you nominated Vegetarian Detective for the Liebster Award. Thank you very much. Only thing is, in the post just before this one you'll see that I have accepted once already. Don't think it's something I can do twice but I sure appreciate the thought!

The Case of Vegetarian Detective in Italy

B uon giorno!   I feel like a snob saying, "I'm just back from Italy." That's me: jetsetter. Yeah, right!   But wow...Italy!   I could talk up a storm, and I surely will as I adjust to being back here, six time zones from magnificent Italia . I often ask people who've just travelled what was their favourite part of their trip. If I ask the same of myself, my answer is seeing Michelangelo's sculptures. His Pietà and The Statue of David literally moved me to tears. I just can't believe I saw "him" in person!   So...our plane from Toronto was delayed six hours and we missed the first day of activities, but we still visited Rome, Montecatini, Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, Vinci, Florence, Cinque Terre and Assisi. Quite the agenda for ten days, including the two flight days, wouldn't you say? But Trafalgar made it work. I would go on a Trafalgar trip again in a heartbeat.   Things I learned in Italy:   In the regions we ...

#262 The Case of Lasagna

T he most important thing about making Lasagna is to NOT use ready-to-bake noodles. They will never, never, never, ever turn scrumptiously fork tender.   Please note that this recipe is still a fast, easy version of Lasagna. If you're super full of love and energy, sub in homemade Anne's Favourite Spaghetti with Neat Sauce for the first 2 ingredients.   1 340g pack plant-based ground 24-oz jar of your favourite purchased pasta sauce 20 lasagna noodles, cooked until al dente, as usual, but with a tablespoon of olive oil added to the water to prevent sticking vegan Parmesan to grate on top   Preheat oven to 375ºF.   Sauté the plant-based ground over medium heat, stirring frequently to avoid burning, for 4 min.   Stir in the pasta sauce.   Spread some of the sauce over the bottom of 2 loaf pans. Lay down the first noodle, followed by a layer of sauce then another noodle... Repeat using all of the noodles and finishing with a last, generous portion of sauce. ...
