a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
There are some things that just put me in a really fantastic mood. Making a perfect batch of hummus is one of those things. You may think that that makes me very lame, but my argument is that you have to enjoy the little things in life …
I am now officially done high school. I wrote my final exam last Friday and am graduating this Thursday. I must say it’s a pretty weird feeling. Since I have nothing to study for and no applications left to do I can finally do things …
In the days leading up to my school trip to Boston I was baking up a storm. As you can probably imagine the food on school trips is a far stretch from gourmet, but for people with intolerances and specific diets, such as I, the food is practically non-existent. So, that is why my kitchen turned into a whirlwind of granola-making, nut toasting, recipe testing and vacuum sealing. It’s important when you have food intolerances to prepare for the worst (think being served solely a bowl of shredded lettuce while your friends chow down on wheat filled spaghetti noodles).

Last night was wild! It was my senior prom and, well, it definitely din’t disappoint. After a long night of dancing, talking and just straight up fun it’s always nice to wake up and cook up a big feel good style breakfast. (Think eggs, hash …

This weekend, whilst studying for a calculus test (typical), I started to daydream of chocolate banana bread. Eventually my brain could not handle any more math and decided to take a much-needed break. I immediately reached for the ripe bananas in my fruit bowl and …
Since 2016, these Buckwheat Banana Pancakes have been a tried and true recipe for me and my friends. I’ve made these pancakes on countless mornings for myself or a crowd, and they just never disappoint! Coming together in 20 minutes, these homemade pancakes will beat …
I am a huge fan of molasses cookies. One of my favourite things at Christmas time is baking (and eating!) chewy, delicious, homemade ginger molasses cookies. They produce the most wonderful scent when they’re baking; it just smells like Christmas. This holiday season I was inspired to create a more nutritional “spin off” by turning this Christmas classic into a Ginger Molasses Loaf, or snack cake if you will.

If you know me, you know I have an array of odd food obsessions. Hummus, anything with sweet potatoes, sushi, watermelon, just to name a few. I also adore nut butter, especially almond based nut butters (I’m not a fan of peanut butter). Honestly, I …
