a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
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 …
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.
‘Tis the season, for cold juices that is. With the past few days climbing up to the high twenties I’ve been a big fan of pressed juices. Buying fresh juice can be pretty pricey, which I find to be strange considering how, relatively, inexpensive it is to make for yourself at home. Continue reading Four Easy + Refreshing Juices
I’ve been under a lot of pressure to get this post up, so here goes! Shoutout to my good friend Riley for always reading and enjoying my travel posts, typos and all haha. This one’s for you Ri 😉 When I left off last, I …
Welcome back 🙂 Here is part two of my United Kingdom adventure! If you remember any of my little trip outline from the beginning of my Edinburgh post (it’s ok if you don’t) you’ll recall that we did a one night stopover in the charming …
Two weeks ago I landed back at Toronto Pearson International Airport after being on the other side of the Atlantic for twenty six days.
When my sister made the decision to do a six month exchange in Scotland , I started to make my travel plans. Originally, I had this grand idea that Emma and I would be able to travel all over Europe for months on end and see all the sights, but of course that was a pretty lavish plan and ended up being a bit too much for my 18-year-old going to uni in the fall budget. Sure, I didn’t go backpacking across Europe, but I did get to see an enormous portion of the United Kingdom, which was an incredible experience. This was easily the most spectacular trip I have ever been lucky enough to take and I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to do this. Continue reading My Edinburgh Adventure
Whenever I get together with my two good friends Riley and Camryn we always make sushi. See the thing is, as a group we are quite difficult to feed. Riley is a pescatarian, Camryn is allergic to dairy, but eats meat and I don’t eat meat and …
