a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
Overnight oats are one of the easiest make-ahead breakfast. But sometimes I find myself getting tired of all the same old combos. Enter: Earl Grey Overnight Oats. This recipe integrates one of my favourite things, Earl Grey tea, to create a fresh take on classic …
Although I love summer, the transition towards more autumnal temperatures and the first colours of fall have been refreshing. Fall is a season of many things: pumpkin spices lattes, apple desserts, and the official start of soup season – my favourite!
At the end of the winter semester when I was in the thick of group projects and was bouncing between group meetings I had one evening where my meetings went well past 10pm. Between meetings, I scored the pantry and fridge looking for something I could throw together as a quick sheet pan meal to eat for dinner. I threw a couple sweet potatoes in the oven to roast while I worked and then tossed in various odds and ends that I had on hand. The result was a surprisingly delicious combination of flavours. I wrote a quick note of what ingredients I had used so I could recreate it another time when I was less busy. Continue reading Sheet Pan Sweet Potato Salad with Lemony Tahini Sauce
Not a word of a lie, this recipe helped me get through finals. Finals are a very strange time of the year, since you no longer have classes it feels like you have more time than you know what to do with, but also not …
Now a days it’s all about ease and convenience. I can definitely relate. This semester has been a total whirlwind of assignments, midterms, exams, and a little bit of fun too, making it difficult to find spare time to do anything for myself. One commitment …
At times my life tends to be a little bit disorganized and chaotic, but I try my best to keep my sh*t in order. When I have a bit of free time, which is hardly ever, I try to organize myself to make the days ahead easier. A way that I accomplish this is by having prepped food, or the ingredients for easy to prepare food, on hand at all times if possible. Homemade granola is a staple in my pantry and diet, but bircher muesli is a pretty good substitute for when I simply do not have the time or energy to bake a batch of granola and can not be bothered to spend $12 on a box of store bought crap with a never ending list of ingredients, 95% of which I can not even pronounce. I may be busy, but I do have standards. I think the best start to being productive and organized is to treat our bodies properly and that starts with good food and good sleep. I need to work on the latter of those… Continue reading Morning Bircher Muesli Mix
I have very fond childhood memories of my older sister, Emma, whipping up a batch of rice crispy squares after school, which we would then devour whilst watching The Ellen Show. Oh, to be 9 years old again.. But seriously, rice crispy squares are a classic treat.
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but I work at a bakery, which is pretty ironic considering that I can’t eat 99% of the product that we sell. Lucky for me we do have delicious gluten free and vegan muffins (yay!). Honest to …
It’s no secret that this summer hasn’t been very “summery”. Sure, we got spoiled with some spectacular 30 degree dock days, but those were usually incompassed by about 7 straight days of rain. Needless to say the wearer has been less than ideal and I think that it’s finally starting to get to me (cue sore throat and itchy ears). This is possibly the worst time for me to get sick seeing as I’m moving out in two days and start university in one week from now. Continue reading Golden Turmeric Latté
Sometimes I find that it’s best to keep things simple. I’m a big time planner when it comes to food; I always try to plan out each meal ahead of time to make my life a little easier. Most of my Sunday mornings are spent …
