a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
Today was my official last day as a ski instructor. It was a perfect last day too. The sun was shining, conditions were great and it wasn’t cold at all. This was my fifteenth season on snow, my seventh on staff and my fifth as a …
Funny story, a few weeks ago (Maybe a few months ago?) I needed a few potatoes for a recipe and my mom picked up a gargantuan bag of russet potatoes. Well, I still have about three quarters of the bag in my pantry… Being more …
When it’s 30 below outside and the gloominess of winter is really starting to sink in we could all use a bit of a pick-me-up.

Lots of exciting news to share. First thing’s first, this past Friday my big sis left on her big Scottish adventure. Emma is on exchange in Scotland for the next five months. I am hopeful that I will have a chance to head over to the …

Since 2016, these Buckwheat Banana Pancakes have been a tried and true recipe for me and my friends. I’ve made these pancakes on countless mornings for myself or a crowd, and they just never disappoint! Coming together in 20 minutes, these homemade pancakes will beat the boxed stuff every single time. Continue reading Buckwheat Banana Pancakes
I am a huge fan of molasses cookies. One of my favourite things at Christmas time is baking (and eating!) chewy, delicious, homemade ginger molasses cookies. They produce the most wonderful scent when they’re baking; it just smells like Christmas. This holiday season I was …
