Morning Bircher Muesli Mix
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, which is hardly ever, I try to organize myself to make the days …

Reflecting On My Year Off
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 …
Curried Sweet Potato + Celeriac Soup
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 have to worry too much about what to eat on my busier days of the week. Big batches of cozy, warming soups are perfect for this time of year and perfect for busy students getting back into the routine of school after the holidays.

Nine Days in Paris
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 …
Chocolate Swirl Banana Bread with Walnuts + Life Updates
Hi Friends! I Know that it has been quite some time since I last wrote.. I’ve been completely swamped by the workload that accompanies first year university. I have really missed writing and creating, so I decided to take my study break tonight to write …
Travelling in the Scottish Highlands (Aberdeen, Inverness, and Skye, oh my!)
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 for how long I’ve put off writing this post. Honestly, if I weren’t leaving on my next adventure in one week’s time, I probably would have put this off even longer.
I have decided to cover Linlithgow, Aberdeen, Inverness, and the Isle of Skye all in this one post because I was in all four places over a period of ten days, so I shouldn’t ramble on too long 😉 Continue reading Travelling in the Scottish Highlands (Aberdeen, Inverness, and Skye, oh my!)
Mixed Berry Summertime Scones
Nothing says summer to me like fresh, local produce. I’ve grown vegetables for years and have always found it to be very rewarding as well as very fun. When I was a little kid living in Toronto, my best friend Jenny and I used to …
Strawberry Chia Jam with a Twist
A few weeks before summer officially began, I sat down and wrote a bucket list of all the things that I wanted to (try to) do before September rolled around. One of the items on the list was berry picking. I have a couple of …
Grilled Za’atar Flatbread with Garlic Infused Olive Oil and Smoky Eggplant Puree
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
Chocolate Crispy Treats
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.
