a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
Overnight oats are one of the easiest make-ahead breakfast. But sometimes I find myself getting tired of all the same old combos. Enter: Earl Grey Overnight Oats. This recipe integrates one of my favourite things, Earl Grey tea, to create a fresh take on classic …
Although I love summer, the transition towards more autumnal temperatures and the first colours of fall have been refreshing. Fall is a season of many things: pumpkin spices lattes, apple desserts, and the official start of soup season – my favourite!
Sheet Pan Sweet Potato Salad with Lemon Tahini Sauce is a super easy sheet pan meal to throw together. It can be eaten warm or can be stored in the fridge for up to four days to serve as a grab-and-go meal. A nice little bonus with this recipe is that the spices on the sweet potatoes smell phenomenal while they are baking, so you get a tasty dish and a nice-smelling home out of it—win-win! In fact, one of the first few times I made this dish coincided with a move-in date in my apartment building, and one of the people moving furniture in the hallway commented on how nice the hallway smelled to one of my roommates. So I guess that this dish actually has the potential to make your whole apartment building smell good too. Continue reading Sheet Pan Sweet Potato Salad with Lemony Tahini Sauce
Not a word of a lie, this recipe helped me get through finals. Finals are a very strange time of the year, since you no longer have classes it feels like you have more time than you know what to do with, but also not …
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 …
At times my life tends to be a little bit disorganized and chaotic, but I try my best to keep my sh*t in order. When I have a bit of free time, I try to get organized to make the days ahead easier. A way that I accomplish this is by having prepped food, or the ingredients for easy-to-prepare food, on hand at all times if possible. Keeping a jar of Bircher Muesli Mix in my pantry makes prepping a healthy breakfast so easy! All you need is some milk, yogurt, and bircher mix to make a delicious overnight meal.

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.
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 …
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
Sometimes I find that it’s best to keep things simple. I’m a big time planner when it comes to food; I always try to plan out each meal ahead of time to make my life a little easier. Most of my Sunday mornings are spent …
