Easy Shakshouka
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.

Grilled Summer Salad
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 …
Big Cozy Vibes Tahini Granola
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
DIY At Home Shawarma (aka Fake Lazeez)
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.
Fragrant Brown Lentil Dahl
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 …
Creamy White Bean Soup
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!

Cozy Oatmeal + Cranberry Cookies
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 …
Warming Veggie Noddle Soup
Well, it’s finally starting to feel like fall and I don’t just mean because of the weather. At this point every one of my roommates (including myself) has been sick, midterms are getting ready to kick my ass and it gets dark before 8pm.
Salted Caramel Dream Bars
A few months back I was at Shoppers Drug Mart with some friends and made the happy discovery that my all-time favourite dark chocolate was on sale. Usually I can deter myself from buying chocolate simply because it is so damn expensive, but it was significantly harder to resist when it was only $5 for two whole bars! Needless to say, I bought two bars. I was able to hold off eating this glorious chocolate and instead used it to create something even more decadent, the stuff of dreams, I would say. Continue reading Salted Caramel Dream Bars
Mixed Berry Yogurt Pots
Not a word of a lie, this recipe helped me get through finals. Finals are a very strange time of the year, since you no longer have classes it feels like you have more time than you know what to do with, but also not …
