Grilled Za’atar Flatbread with Garlic Infused Olive Oil and Smoky Eggplant Puree

Grilled Za’atar Flatbread with Garlic Infused Olive Oil and Smoky Eggplant Puree

Not gonna lie, this was a really fun recipe to create. I got to combine three of my fav things: bread, grilled food, and za’atar spice blend! Woo! I’ve made this recipe before using spelt flour (which worked great), but I wanted to try to 

Chocolate Crispy Treats

Chocolate Crispy Treats

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.

Four Easy + Refreshing Juices

Four Easy + Refreshing Juices

‘Tis the season, for cold juices that is. With the past few days climbing up to the high twenties I’ve been a big fan of pressed juices. Buying fresh juice can be pretty pricey, which I find to be strange considering how, relatively, inexpensive it is to make for yourself at home. Continue reading Four Easy + Refreshing Juices

A Stopover in York, England

A Stopover in York, England

Welcome back 🙂 Here is part two of my United Kingdom adventure! If you remember any of my little trip outline from the beginning of my Edinburgh post (it’s ok if you don’t) you’ll recall that we did a one night stopover in the charming 

My Edinburgh Adventure

My Edinburgh Adventure

Two weeks ago I landed back at Toronto Pearson International Airport after being on the other side of the Atlantic for twenty six days.

When my sister made the decision to do a six month exchange in Scotland , I started to make my travel plans. Originally, I had this grand idea that Emma and I would be able to travel all over Europe for months on end and see all the sights, but of course that was a pretty lavish plan and ended up being a bit too much for my 18-year-old going to uni in the fall budget. Sure, I didn’t go backpacking across Europe, but I did get to see an enormous portion of the United Kingdom, which was an incredible experience. This was easily the most spectacular trip I have ever been lucky enough to take and I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to do this. Continue reading My Edinburgh Adventure

Sushi “Burritos” with Kimchi

Sushi “Burritos” with Kimchi

Whenever I get together with my two good friends Riley and Camryn we always make sushi. See the thing is, as a group we are quite difficult to feed. Riley is a pescatarian, Camryn is allergic to dairy, but eats meat and I don’t eat meat and

Back in the summer I did a bit of housesitting for my aunt while she was away on holiday with her family. I was in charge of looking after the house and her two dogs: Charlie, a Rhodesian Ridgeback and Tucker, a Corgi. For the 

Roasted Beet and Barley Salad with Pesto

Roasted Beet and Barley Salad with Pesto

Happy Easter weekend friends! When holiday feasting time rolls around the vegetarian options can sometimes be a bit lacking (think Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter). Since I don’t eat turkey or ham and my family isn’t exactly too keen on testing out a nut roast recipe, although that does sound pretty good to me, I decided to come up with a fun and delicious recipe that everyone in my family, vegans and carnivores alike, can enjoy.

Sweet and Spicy Cauliflower Tacos with Red Cabbage Slaw

A little while back I was browsing instagram, as one does, when I came across an instagram story from Tara O’Brady, the author of the Seven Spoons blog and cookbook. The story was a very loose recipe for roasted cauliflower with honey, hot sauce and nutritional yeast.
