a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
Spring is here, and I’m celebrating with this Spring Chicken Soup! Vibrant green peas, crisp snap peas, parmesan, and lemon give this chicken soup a distinct springiness that I love—this is exactly the kind of soup I want to be eating at this time of …
With the cooler temperatures of autumn beginning to descend on us, I have been craving everything warm and cozy while still trying to hold on to the last little bits of summer. Roasted Tomato Soup is perfect for this transitional time of the year! It …
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!
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. …
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.

Funny story, a few weeks ago (Maybe a few months ago?) I needed a few potatoes for a recipe and my mom picked up a gargantuan bag of russet potatoes. Well, I still have about three quarters of the bag in my pantry… Being more of a sweet potato kind of girl, I’m not really one to just bake a plain potato and eat it, so I had to think of a more interesting way to use those bad boys up.

There’s nothing quite like a warming bowl of soup on a dreary cold fall day. This weekend
