a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
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 …
I’ve been sitting on this Vegetarian Lasagna recipe for a while. When I was in grade 11 and 12, I worked for a catering company in my hometown over the summers. One of my responsibilities was to make lasagnas for the storefront, which sold prepared …
With the unfortunate resurgence of winter weather we are currently experiencing here in Southern Ontario, I thought there would be no time like the present to share one of my favourite winter recipes, but who am I kidding? I make this hot chocolate recipe all year around, but it is especially nice to enjoy whilst curled up by the fire watching snowflakes flutter down outside your window or while staying indoors to avoid the frigid wind chills like I am currently doing.

This fall I had the unique opportunity to up and move out west to Vancouver for two months with one of my close friends. We both accepted co-op positions at a Vancouver-based company and decided to use our new jobs as an opportunity to travel …
I don’t know what it’s like where you all are, but it has been absolutely freezing here in Ontario the past few weeks. At this point in the season I seem to have a semi-permanent raspy voice from running outdoors in these crazy cold temperatures. …
This past weekend was my annual holiday baking weekend. This year I baked six different types of cookies to share and enjoy over the holidays. I stuck with my annual go-to’s for five of the cookies and decided to try something new for the last variety. This Hot Chocolate Cookie recipe is a spinoff of my all-time favourite chocolate chip cookie recipe by Displaced Housewife, her Dark Chocolate Olive Oil Cookies. The olive oil sounds like an odd addition, but trust me, it gives the cookies the most incredible gooey-without-being-too-gooey texture. Don’t knock it until you try it!

I cooked up some deliciously easy Shakshouka on my Instagram stories the other day and saved the recipe to my highlights, but I thought I would write it up and share the recipe here too for anyone who does not have Instagram.
It was yet another rainy fall Vancouver weekend. What’s different about the rain here versus in Ontario is that the people here are so accustomed to it raining almost all the time that it really doesn’t hinder their day’s plans. In fact, Vancouverites are so …
In my most recent co-op recruiting period I got hired by a Vancouver-based company to complete my third, and final, co-op term of my undergraduate degree. There was an option to work fully remotely from Ontario, or to move out west for a more hybrid working experience. Since my lease back in Ontario was up and I had nothing tying me down, I decided to take the opportunity to move out west for a couple months so that I could experience the West Coast in all its beauty and finally have a chance to work in an office – my previous two co-ops have been fully remote. By some luck my good friend Ali and I ended up getting hired by the same company, so we moved out west together after completing our first month of work online from Ontario.

As the weeks until my departure for the West Coast become fewer, I have been trying to fit in lots of outdoor time to enjoy Ontario’s beautiful landscape before I trade in for the West Coast’s sights. This weekend my mom and I hopped in …
