a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
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, which is hardly ever, I try to organize myself to make the days …
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 …
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.

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 …
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 …
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 raspberry bushes in my own garden and I can often times be found picking wild berries in some field or on the side of the road, but I had never actually gone to a berry farm and picked my own. Lucky for me, I live in the perfect area for picking your own produce. Continue reading Strawberry Chia Jam with a Twist
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 …
