a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
Back in the summer I did a bit of housesitting for my aunt while she was away on holiday with her family. I was in charge of looking after the house and her two dogs: Charlie, a Rhodesian Ridgeback and Tucker, a Corgi. For the …
Happy Easter weekend friends! When holiday feasting time rolls around the vegetarian options can sometimes be a bit lacking (think Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter). Since I don’t eat turkey or ham and my family isn’t exactly too keen on testing out a nut roast recipe, although …
A little while back I was browsing instagram, as one does, when I came across an instagram story from Tara O’Brady, the author of the Seven Spoons blog and cookbook. The story was a very loose recipe for roasted cauliflower with honey, hot sauce and nutritional yeast. As soon as I saw it I was sure to screenshot so that I could try this combo later. When I finally did give it a try, it was love at first bite haha. Since that first time I’ve fooled around with the quantities of the ingredients to get, in my opinion, the perfect sweet, spicy and salty flavour combo.

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but I work at a bakery, which is pretty ironic considering that I can’t eat 99% of the product that we sell. Lucky for me we do have delicious gluten free and vegan muffins (yay!). Honest to …
I moved away from the city almost ten years ago, so I don’t know it as well as some, but there are certain areas of the city that I love to visit whenever I am in town. Kensington Market is one of those areas.
With Easter coming up and spring just around the corner I thought it would be fun to share a more vibrant recipe to help me get over my serious case of the winter blues. Lately I’ve been really into making myself big smoothies for breakfast, which I enjoy on my couch, under a nice fuzzy blanket in the earl hours of the morning. This big bright beet smoothie has been my goto recently. The sweetness from the banana and berries mashed with the earthy undertones of the beets makes for a unique and fun flavour. This mixture helps me get out of bed in the morning haha. Continue reading Big, Bright Layered Beet Smoothie Jars
Today was my official last day as a ski instructor. It was a perfect last day too. The sun was shining, conditions were great and it wasn’t cold at all. This was my fifteenth season on snow, my seventh on staff and my fifth as a …
Funny story, a few weeks ago (Maybe a few months ago?) I needed a few potatoes for a recipe and my mom picked up a gargantuan bag of russet potatoes. Well, I still have about three quarters of the bag in my pantry… Being more …
When it’s 30 below outside and the gloominess of winter is really starting to sink in we could all use a bit of a pick-me-up. It feels as though I’ve hardly seen the sun in the last few months (today being a rare exception) and I am seriously missing summer produce, especially the fresh fruit!

By taking a quick glance out the window it looks as though it’s April out there. Everything is wet, there are only tiny patches of snow remaining and the sky seems to be eternally grey. In case you didn’t know, April is one of my …
