a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
Sheet Pan Sweet Potato Salad with Lemon Tahini Sauce is a super easy sheet pan meal to throw together. It can be eaten warm or can be stored in the fridge for up to four days to serve as a grab-and-go meal. A nice little …
With the unfortunate resurgence of winter weather we are currently experiencing here in Southern Ontario, I thought there would be no time like the present to share one of my favourite winter recipes, but who am I kidding? I make this hot chocolate recipe all …
I don’t know what it’s like where you all are, but it has been absolutely freezing here in Ontario the past few weeks. At this point in the season I seem to have a semi-permanent raspy voice from running outdoors in these crazy cold temperatures. Needless to say, I am excited for things to start reopening so I can move my training out of the cold and onto the indoor track. Continue reading Vegetarian “Sausage” & Noodle Soup
I cooked up some deliciously easy Shakshouka on my Instagram stories the other day and saved the recipe to my highlights, but I thought I would write it up and share the recipe here too for anyone who does not have Instagram.
Can we just take a minute to acknowledge how quickly this summer has flown by? How is it already August?! Crazy stuff! I’ve been trying to soak up the delicious flavours of summer before fall strikes and I have to wait another full year to …
I always like to keep a batch of Big Cozy Vibes Tahini Granola in my kitchen for easy grab-and-go snacking and meals. There were a fair number of nights (more than I’d like to admit) during my fall semester where I found myself chowing down on a large bowl of granola at 10pm after teaching my Monday first-year business lab, nights when I simply had too much to do and not enough time to cook. In the fall I was literally flying through this granola; I had to make a new batch almost every week. If I had to pick one recipe that I make consistently, this would be it. To say that tahini granola is a pantry staple for me would be an understatement. Continue reading Big Cozy Vibes Tahini Granola
When I’m at school I love to get Shawarma from a chain called Lazeez. I discovered this glorious chain (which is conveniently located around the corner from my home!) last year and it’s been an epic love affair ever since.
Hello all! Disclaimer: I am fully aware that June is in full swing and that the weather is, on average, quite consistently hot at this point and this recipe may seem to be better suited for colder temperatures, but I’m here to tell ya that …
So, I have a kinda funny story for you all. Well, my life is all kind of a funny story, but this situation really takes the cake. Leading up to Christmas holidays I was experiencing discomfort in my lower jaw near the back of my mouth. It felt like the same kind of discomfort I had experienced when my wisdom teeth were coming in, but I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed back in May (or so I thought), so that didn’t make any sense. I went for a routine cleaning at the dentist over the holidays and told them about my discomfort. They took a look and ended up taking an X-ray, which verified that I most definitely had a full tooth hanging out back there, a tooth that was supposed to have been removed seven months earlier… I was baffled by this discovery, as was my dentist, the hygienist, the receptionist, and the surgeon himself. So it turns out that the surgeon just straight up missed one of the four teeth he was supposed to remove. I have no clue how that is even possible, but I am living proof that it is!

With my personal week from hell now officially behind me, I am in a rather celebratory mood and what better way to celebrate than with cookies? For all those who are unaware, last week I had four midterms, which was already bad enough, but I …
