a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
When I’m at school I love to get Shawarma from a chain called Lazeez. I discovered this glorious chain (which is conveniently located around the corner from my home!) last year and it’s been an epic love affair ever since.
Hello all! Disclaimer: I am fully aware that June is in full swing and that the weather is, on average, quite consistently hot at this point and this recipe may seem to be better suited for colder temperatures, but I’m here to tell ya that …
I’ve decided to try something a little bit different. I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this before, but before Olive + Wisteria was Olive + Wisteria, it was local adventures and it was a tumblr page dedicated to sharing my photography, quotes I like, books, and thoughts.
