a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
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 …
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 …
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 grow potatoes in her back garden. When the potatoes were ready to harvest the two of us would dress up like pioneers (keep in mind we were like seven years old haha) and dig up the potatoes. Once we had successfully extracted all of the potatoes from the ground, we would take them inside and clean the skins of before chopping them up and making baked French fries. The first year that I grew vegetables in my own garden was when I was 11. I used old crates to grow peas, beans, tomatoes and, what I’m convinced were, the world’s smallest carrots.

A few weeks before summer officially began, I sat down and wrote a bucket list of all the things that I wanted to (try to) do before September rolled around. One of the items on the list was berry picking. I have a couple of …
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 …
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. Continue reading Chocolate Crispy Treats
‘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 …
I’ve been under a lot of pressure to get this post up, so here goes! Shoutout to my good friend Riley for always reading and enjoying my travel posts, typos and all haha. This one’s for you Ri 😉 When I left off last, I …
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 town (city?) of York to break up the trip from Edinburgh to London. Here is what we did, what we saw and what we ate. Please enjoy!
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 …
