Mixed Berry Yogurt Pots
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 …

Buffalo Cauliflower Salad + Vegan Cool Lime Ranch Dressing
At the moment I have a little bit of time off before I start work for the summer. That means that I have time to create some fun new recipes and other posts to share here! Yay! I spent my evening last night scrolling through …
On-the-Go Greens Scramble
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 that I have made and been fairly strict with is to properly fuel my body. When you’re constantly on the go it can be difficult to make good choices in terms of food and it becomes increasingly easy to forget to eat (a concept I never understood until I entered university). As students we are being constantly bombarded by information and somewhat unrealistic expectations, which are nearly impossible to retain or meet if we aren’t treating ourselves kindly.

Morning Bircher Muesli Mix
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 …
Reflecting On My Year Off
As 2019 begins and my second semester of university kicks into full gear I would like to take a moment to reflect on the year that I have had. I can easily say that this past year was the most challenging one of my life …
Curried Sweet Potato + Celeriac Soup
With Christmas behind us now we are getting into the less nice part of winter – a.k.a every day of winter after Christmas – and the need for coziness is at its peak. At school I like to cook in big batches so I don’t have to worry too much about what to eat on my busier days of the week. Big batches of cozy, warming soups are perfect for this time of year and perfect for busy students getting back into the routine of school after the holidays.

Nine Days in Paris
Growing up, Paris is one of those cities that you see all the time in the movies. Movies, shows and social media paint a beautiful image of the city, so it’s pretty surreal when you actually arrive there and see it for yourself. It’s kind of like …
Chocolate Swirl Banana Bread with Walnuts + Life Updates
Hi Friends! I Know that it has been quite some time since I last wrote.. I’ve been completely swamped by the workload that accompanies first year university. I have really missed writing and creating, so I decided to take my study break tonight to write …
Travelling in the Scottish Highlands (Aberdeen, Inverness, and Skye, oh my!)
Alas, we have (finally) reached the last leg of my Scottish journey. I know it has been a while, so let me refresh your memory. When I last wrote of my travels, I shared with you all my wonderful week in London. I do apologize for how long I’ve put off writing this post. Honestly, if I weren’t leaving on my next adventure in one week’s time, I probably would have put this off even longer.
I have decided to cover Linlithgow, Aberdeen, Inverness, and the Isle of Skye all in this one post because I was in all four places over a period of ten days, so I shouldn’t ramble on too long 😉 Continue reading Travelling in the Scottish Highlands (Aberdeen, Inverness, and Skye, oh my!)
Mixed Berry Summertime Scones
Nothing says summer to me like fresh, local produce. I’ve grown vegetables for years and have always found it to be very rewarding as well as very fun. When I was a little kid living in Toronto, my best friend Jenny and I used to …
