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
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

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. …
Vegan Banana Chocolate Chunk Muffins
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 …
A Tasty Afternoon in Kensington Market, Toronto
I moved away from the city almost ten years ago, so I don’t know it as well as some, but there are certain areas of the city that I love to visit whenever I am in town. Kensington Market is one of those areas. Continue reading A Tasty Afternoon in Kensington Market, Toronto
Big, Bright Layered Beet Smoothie Jars
With Easter coming up and spring just around the corner I thought it would be fun to share a more vibrant recipe to help me get over my serious case of the winter blues. Lately I’ve been really into making myself big smoothies for breakfast, …
