a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
I’ve been sitting on this Vegetarian Lasagna recipe for a while. When I was in grade 11 and 12, I worked for a catering company in my hometown over the summers. One of my responsibilities was to make lasagnas for the storefront, which sold prepared …
With the unfortunate resurgence of winter weather we are currently experiencing here in Southern Ontario, I thought there would be no time like the present to share one of my favourite winter recipes, but who am I kidding? I make this hot chocolate recipe all …
This fall I had the unique opportunity to up and move out west to Vancouver for two months with one of my close friends. We both accepted co-op positions at a Vancouver-based company and decided to use our new jobs as an opportunity to travel to and live in a new city. Neither Ali nor I had ever been to the West Coast before this adventure. We received an influx of recommendations from friends and family who had either been out west before or who currently live there, and their recommendations sure didn’t disappoint! I am happy to report that we diligently worked our way through the list and ticked off the majority of the boxes. We also found some cool spots of our own along the way. Here is a summary of the top recommendations that we received and some of our favourite places we discovered along the way. I hope you enjoy!

I don’t know what it’s like where you all are, but it has been absolutely freezing here in Ontario the past few weeks. At this point in the season I seem to have a semi-permanent raspy voice from running outdoors in these crazy cold temperatures. …
Happy (almost) holidays everyone! It has been quite the year and I for one am very excited to have a bit of down time over the next couple of weeks to enjoy time with friends and family and to eat some delicious food of course!
I cooked up some deliciously easy Shakshouka on my Instagram stories the other day and saved the recipe to my highlights, but I thought I would write it up and share the recipe here too for anyone who does not have Instagram. Continue reading Easy Shakshouka
It was yet another rainy fall Vancouver weekend. What’s different about the rain here versus in Ontario is that the people here are so accustomed to it raining almost all the time that it really doesn’t hinder their day’s plans. In fact, Vancouverites are so …
In my most recent co-op recruiting period I got hired by a Vancouver-based company to complete my third, and final, co-op term of my undergraduate degree. There was an option to work fully remotely from Ontario, or to move out west for a more hybrid …
As the weeks until my departure for the West Coast become fewer, I have been trying to fit in lots of outdoor time to enjoy Ontario’s beautiful landscape before I trade in for the West Coast’s sights. This weekend my mom and I hopped in the car and headed to Lion’s Head to do the Lion’s Head Loop Hike in Lion’s Head Provincial Park. The approximate two hour drive was pretty uneventful, but the breathtaking views from the cliffs certainly made up for it. Continue reading A Weekend Hike in Lion’s Head Provincial Park
I cannot believe that it is already September! Where did the summer go?! With the first week of September now behind us, I am sure that many of you have returned to school, work, and with that, busier schedules. This week I started my third …
