a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
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 …
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.
This Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble Loaf highlights what is – in my opinion – the queen of summer produce: Ontario strawberries. Strawberry picking has become an annual tradition for me. I love being able to take advantage of the fantastic summer produce that is grown within 20km of my back door. I also love a good daytime outing in the warm summer sunshine with a close pal 🙂 Continue reading Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble Loaf
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 …
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 that I have made and been fairly strict with is to properly fuel my body. When you’re constantly on the go it can be difficult to make good choices in terms of food and it becomes increasingly easy to forget to eat (a concept I never understood until I entered university). As students we are being constantly bombarded by information and somewhat unrealistic expectations, which are nearly impossible to retain or meet if we aren’t treating ourselves kindly.

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, I try to get organized to make the days ahead easier. A way …
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 …
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
‘Tis the season, for cold juices that is. With the past few days climbing up to the high twenties I’ve been a big fan of pressed juices. Buying fresh juice can be pretty pricey, which I find to be strange considering how, relatively, inexpensive it …
