a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
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 …
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 …
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. While I was on my little Pinterest binger I pinned a ton of recipes by one of my favourite food writers, Laura Wright, of The First Mess. 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 …
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 …
As 2019 begins and my second semester of university kicks into full gear I would like to take a moment to reflect on the year that I have had. I can easily say that this past year was the most challenging one of my life thus far. Sure, taking a year off came with a lot of opportunities, but it also came with a lot of setbacks. This is not an easy topic for me to write about, but I feel that it’s necessary and that to not write this all down would be a disservice to myself and to the year that I have had.
With Christmas behind us now we are getting into the less nice part of winter – a.k.a every day of winter after Christmas – and the need for coziness is at its peak. At school I like to cook in big batches so I don’t …
Growing up, Paris is one of those cities that you see all the time in the movies. Movies, shows and social media paint a beautiful image of the city, so it’s pretty surreal when you actually arrive there and see it for yourself. It’s kind of like …
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 cheering up, right? I know I could! November is my least favourite month of the year by far (April being the second worst). I hate how early it gets dark and the weather is atrocious. It’s not quite winter yet, but it also isn’t really fall anymore; it’s just a gross transition between the seasons. So that’s my rant about November. Gross times of the year such as this make for a perfect opportunity to curl up with a hot cup of tea and a slice of warm, homemade banana bread.

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 …
