a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
I know that it is technically spring, but the weather outside is suggesting otherwise. As much as I love spring dishes, I’m still leaning towards cozy recipes closer to the winter end of the spectrum while the weather remains cold and snowy. I’m sure I …
Overnight oats are one of the easiest make-ahead breakfast. But sometimes I find myself getting tired of all the same old combos. Enter: Earl Grey Overnight Oats. This recipe integrates one of my favourite things, Earl Grey tea, to create a fresh take on classic …
This is the first non-vegetarian recipe I have ever shared here on Olive + Wisteria. When I started eating meat again in fall 2022 after five and a half years as a vegetarian, it took a while to get used to. During this transition period I developed the recipe for my Quick Chicken Meatballs with Ginger + Scallions. I found these incredibly palatable while I was reacquainting myself with meat. Even now, after over a year of being a meat eater, I still love this recipe. It’s a big hit with my family too! Continue reading Quick Chicken Meatballs with Ginger + Scallions
Happy Valentine’s Day! Below I have rounded up six delicious chocolate recipes to celebrate your and your loved ones today. If the commercialization of Valentine’s Day isn’t your thing, that’s ok – I’m a bit of a Valentine’s Grinch myself – but who doesn’t love …
Valentine’s Day is less than a week away and what better way to celebrate than with chocolate?
This recipe has been on my ‘to be posted’ list for years. The reason that I’m only sharing it now is that I procrastinated shooting the accompanying photos until now… The recipe itself has been in my draft posts since last summer and in my recipe journal since winter 2022.

Happy Saturday! It’s finally starting to feel like winter around here after weeks of unseasonably mild weather. With the temperatures dropping deep into the negatives, I’m inclined to lean towards more warming and hardy foods. Enter Roasted Red Pepper + Cauliflower Soup!
Although I love summer, the transition towards more autumnal temperatures and the first colours of fall have been refreshing. Fall is a season of many things: pumpkin spices lattes, apple desserts, and the official start of soup season – my favourite!
Back in December I went to the One of a Kind Show in Toronto to get a bit of holiday shopping out of the way. For those of you that are not familiar, the One of a Kind Show is a large multi-day convention of Canadian vendors that is open to the public to attend (for an entrance fee). The vendors’ products range from food, to art, to ceramics, to clothing or accessories. It’s a super fun way to spend a weekend day, which is exactly what we did. While we were there, I stumbled upon a business called Allo Simonne that sells a variety of different hazelnut butter spreads. I sampled a few of them and ended up walking away with the Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Spread with Toasted Buckwheat. It sounds like a bit of a weird combination, but oh my goodness was it ever good! The flavours from that hazelnut spread are what inspired the flavours for this recipe. Continue reading Chocolate Hazelnut Butter Cups with Toasted Buckwheat
It’s no secret that I love chocolate. I have never been huge on candy, but chocolate is something that I always keep on hand. I especially love dark chocolate. If we’re getting specific, I love the Lindt Excellence Ecuador 75% Cacao chocolate the most. I …
