a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
So, I have a kinda funny story for you all. Well, my life is all kind of a funny story, but this situation really takes the cake. Leading up to Christmas holidays I was experiencing discomfort in my lower jaw near the back of my …
With my personal week from hell now officially behind me, I am in a rather celebratory mood and what better way to celebrate than with cookies? For all those who are unaware, last week I had four midterms, which was already bad enough, but I …
This has been my go-to meal all summer and continues to be now. Before I left for school I made a huge batch of pesto and froze it to enjoy throughout my fall semester. This recipe is super easy and tasty. I may be a little late with the whole “end of summer” thing seeing as it already feels like November outside (burrr) and I already have a cold, but I say better late then never!

This Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble Loaf highlights what is – in my opinion – the queen of summer produce: Ontario strawberries. Strawberry picking has become an annual tradition for me. I love being able to take advantage of the fantastic summer produce that is grown within …
A few months back I was at Shoppers Drug Mart with some friends and made the happy discovery that my all-time favourite dark chocolate was on sale. Usually I can deter myself from buying chocolate simply because it is so damn expensive, but it was …
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 Pinterest, as one does, and found lots of wonderful inspiration. I also have a ridiculously long list of recipes I want to create or recreate taking up a significant portion of my journal.

She had some pretty epic recipes focused around cauliflower, which is what inspired me to create this. Continue reading Buffalo Cauliflower Salad + Vegan Cool Lime Ranch Dressing
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 …
I came up with this Chocolate Swirl Banana Bread quite some time ago, but I wanted to save it for the perfect occasion. Now that we’re well into November, I think it is fair to say that we could all use a little bit 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 make a completely gluten free version for all my celiac and gluten intolerant peeps out there. Continue reading Grilled Za’atar Flatbread with Garlic Infused Olive Oil and Smoky Eggplant Puree
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.
