Roasted Beet Hummus

Roasted Beet Hummus

I cannot believe that it is already September! Where did the summer go?! This week I started my third (and final!) co-op term of my undergraduate degree. It’s hard to believe that I’m in my final year now; time has truly flown! I’ve definitely been

Can we just take a minute to acknowledge how quickly this summer has flown by? How is it already August?! Crazy stuff! I’ve been trying to soak up the delicious flavours of summer before fall strikes and I have to wait another full year to

If you follow along with me on instagram you’ll know that I have been really into the sourdough baking as of late. Bread, bagels, naan, brownies, cinnamon buns, crackers, hot cross buns, you name it, I’ve probably made a sourdough version of it. Continue reading Wild Leek Sourdough Bread

Big Cozy Vibes Tahini Granola

I always like to keep a batch of Big Cozy Vibes Tahini Granola in my kitchen for easy grab-and-go snacking and meals. There were a fair number of nights (more than I’d like to admit) during my fall semester where I found myself chowing down

Photo Journal No. 2: Florence + the Machine High as Hope Tour, 2019

As some of you may have realized, these photos are a couple years old. I was scrolling through my blog the other day reading through old posts and reminiscing on past adventures, one of which was my first experience seeing Florence + the Machine live

DIY At Home Shawarma (aka Fake Lazeez)

When I’m at school I love to get Shawarma from a chain called Lazeez. I discovered this glorious chain (which is conveniently located around the corner from my home!) last year and it’s been an epic love affair ever since. Continue reading DIY At Home Shawarma (aka Fake Lazeez)

Hello all! Disclaimer: I am fully aware that June is in full swing and that the weather is, on average, quite consistently hot at this point and this recipe may seem to be better suited for colder temperatures, but I’m here to tell ya that

Photo Journal No. 1: Playing with Film

I’ve decided to try something a little bit different. I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this before, but before Olive + Wisteria was Olive + Wisteria, it was local adventures and it was a tumblr page dedicated to sharing my photography, quotes I like, books, and thoughts. 

Creamy White Bean Soup

Creamy White Bean Soup

So, I have a kinda funny story for you all. Well, my life is all kind of a funny story, but this situation really takes the cake. Leading up to Christmas holidays I was experiencing discomfort in my lower jaw near the back of my mouth. It felt like the same kind of discomfort I had experienced when my wisdom teeth were coming in, but I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed back in May (or so I thought), so that didn’t make any sense. I went for a routine cleaning at the dentist over the holidays and told them about my discomfort. They took a look and ended up taking an X-ray, which verified that I most definitely had a full tooth hanging out back there, a tooth that was supposed to have been removed seven months earlier… I was baffled by this discovery, as was my dentist, the hygienist, the receptionist, and the surgeon himself. So it turns out that the surgeon just straight up missed one of the four teeth he was supposed to remove. I have no clue how that is even possible, but I am living proof that it is!

Cozy Oatmeal + Cranberry Cookies

With my personal week from hell now officially behind me, I am in a rather celebratory mood and what better way to celebrate than with cookies? For all those who are unaware, last week I had four midterms, which was already bad enough, but I
