a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
Brothy beans are far from a new phenomenon. For the past few years, I’ve seen so much hype for brothy beans from fellow recipe developers and cooks, so I was convinced to see what all the fuss was about. Can I just say, WOW! For …

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 can’t be the only one, which is why I decided this would be an appropriate time as ever to share my Tomato and Lentil Stew with Harissa.

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 …
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!
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. Continue reading Easy Shakshouka

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 …
