Move over Avocado Toast there’s a new breakfast in town — Avocado Waffles (and I’m not just talking about the topping either!)

So let’s rewind a bit before I get to the recipe — for those of you who are familiar with my blog you know that recipes aren’t really my “thing.” In my mind there are loads of recipe developers and adapters out there and really, who needs another recipe for banana bread (or even waffles for that matter)? Give me a cookbook any day of the week and I’m as happy as anything! However, when you’ve been cooking for as long as I have you’re bound to have a few personal, original recipes. It happens. When I noticed that FBC sent out a call for submissions to their members for pancakes and waffles I really wanted to submit something. The catch? Must be your own recipe on your own blog. Luckily for me I have a family fav that I’m going to share.  Continue reading “Recipe Roundup: Vegan Avocado Waffles” →

Book Club Tuesday: Short Stack Editions

~ shipshapeeatworthy ~ 2 Comments


It’s Tuesday! You know what that means…but before I get into my review and food talk let’s talk a bit about my life before food. Full disclosure: I am a “whim” person. At least that’s what my husband calls it (I think it’s just a nice way of describing how I become obsessed with something for a short period of time). Is it my fault that when I get interested in something I go all in? I love having a hobby, I mean, who doesn’t love to have something to do? So over the years my “whims” have taken me through card stamping, knitting, quilting, vintage jewelry collecting, fashion, and if you believe my husband, cooking. But I’ll be honest here — I think the bus stops with cooking.

Book Club Tuesday: Go Gluten Free Magazine

If you’re reading this or have ever looked at my IG photos you know that I love to cook. In fact, I usually take great delight in preparing and cooking 3 meals a day. Yesterday’s dinner was a different story. The morning was grey and cold. Wind picked up as I pumped gas into the car — the forecast called for a huge blizzard (at least 30 cm! Everything closed or cancelled) so I knew that running on empty wasn’t a safe option (even though there was no snow on the ground and nary a flake to be seen). A quick trip to the grocery store and then it didn’t matter when the onslaught of bad weather happened because we were prepared. Lunch ended up being a breeze — I made Margherita Pizza Dinner Waffles that were insanely quick to make and delicious to eat (Sweet Potato Chronicles — need I say more?). By mid afternoon I was starting to feel chilled and head-achy (probably a cold — every man, woman, and child within a 50 km radius of us has been sick) and I was in no mood to cook. This is where Go Gluten Free Magazine comes in.

Book Club Tuesday: The Penlee Recipe Book

~ shipshapeeatworthy ~ 4 Comments

So if you’ve been following Shipshape Eatworthy, you know that Tuesday is my day! This week I’ll be reviewing a vegetarian cookbook that is 100 YEARS OLD! That’s right! Exactly what I said — The Penlee Recipe Book (or at least my particular edition) was published in 1916. The other exceptional thing to note is that I’ll be giving my impressions of this book without actually having tried any of the recipes — so no Instagram photos or link throughs to flashy websites — and you’ll come to hear how I came by this remarkable book in a pretty unremarkable way.

The first part of this story begins in Ottawa (Ontario, Canada) about 14 years ago. At the time I was still a grad student and my then boyfriend (now husband) was a vegetarian. Since vegetarianism was so new to me I was really keen to learn more (although not keen enough to change my diet — that still took another 8 years).

Book Club Tuesday: The Yellow Table

Well, last week I did something that was waaaay out of my comfort zone — I announced to my friends (on Facebook) that I’m writing cookbook reviews. Actually I may have just posted a link and may have not mentioned that it was my review (since it’s all Shipshape-Eatworthy my friends might have needed to guess that it was me). Chicken? Afraid of looking foolish? I’m not too sure but it’s funny that I have this huge passion for all things cooking but when it comes to telling people who I know (maybe not as much in person, but definitely online) I can’t. It makes me anxious. Funny that I get no anxiety from posting my reviews for complete strangers to read…anyways, I bring this up simply because I admire people who can put themselves “out there.” One such person who has my undying admiration is Anna Watson Carl, author of The Yellow Table cookbook & blog.

Skillet Cookie Recipe …

skillet cookie

Hello & happy Monday! I know I told you that I’d be taking a break from writing over the holidays but this post will be short & most definitely sweet. Over the weekend while I should have been making cookies to send to my far flung friends, I decided it was time to use my new (well to me at least) mini Le Creuset skillet I found while out thrifting.
