a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
At the moment I have a little bit of time off before I start work for the summer. That means that I have time to create some fun new recipes and other posts to share here! Yay! I spent my evening last night scrolling through …
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 ahead easier. A way that I accomplish this is by having prepped food, or the ingredients for easy to prepare food, on hand at all times if possible. Homemade granola is a staple in my pantry and diet, but bircher muesli is a pretty good substitute for when I simply do not have the time or energy to bake a batch of granola and can not be bothered to spend $12 on a box of store bought crap with a never ending list of ingredients, 95% of which I can not even pronounce. I may be busy, but I do have standards. I think the best start to being productive and organized is to treat our bodies properly and that starts with good food and good sleep. I need to work on the latter of those… Continue reading Morning Bircher Muesli Mix
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 …
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. I have really missed writing and creating, so I decided to take my study break tonight to write …
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.
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 can’t have dairy or wheat… so sushi has always been a great option for us when we want to eat together.

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 …
