a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
It seems as though fall is finally arriving. With the last few days reaching above twenty degrees (Celsius that is) it has been an unusually hot October. Now that it actually feels like autumn, I think it’s best to say a formal “goodbye” to summer.
It’s raspberry season and these Orange & Raspberry Muffins are the perfect way to celebrate these seasonal beauties! These muffins are naturally gluten and dairy free without compromising taste and texture.
It’s no secret that this summer hasn’t been very “summery”. Sure, we got spoiled with some spectacular 30 degree dock days, but those were usually incompassed by about 7 straight days of rain. Needless to say the wearer has been less than ideal and I think that it’s finally starting to get to me (cue sore throat and itchy ears). This is possibly the worst time for me to get sick seeing as I’m moving out in two days and start university in one week from now. Continue reading Golden Turmeric Latté

If you know me, you know I have an array of odd food obsessions. Hummus, anything with sweet potatoes, sushi, watermelon, just to name a few. I also adore nut butter, especially almond based nut butters (I’m not a fan of peanut butter). Honestly, I …
A few months back I had a wonderful idea. I was testing out a vegan moussaka recipe from one of my all-time favourite cookbooks, Green Kitchen Travels, and as I was whisking the vegan béchamel sauce I had a wonderful thought. Since I am a fairly busy …
Every year my family has made some type of squash casserole for Thanksgiving. When I was around 13 years old, it became my job to prepare the casserole. My Butternut Squash Casserole with Maple Pecans has been a staple at my family’s Thanksgiving table ever since. Seasonal butternut squash is paired with maple “candied” pecans and cozy spices for the perfect side dish to accompany your holiday meal. Continue reading Butternut Squash Casserole with Maple Pecans
There’s nothing quite like a warming bowl of soup on a dreary cold fall day. This weekend
