a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
I love to keep a big batch of cozy, nourishing soup on hand to reheat for a warming lunch or light dinner. Root Vegetable Red Lentil Soup is the newest addition to my soup lineup. It has delicious, deeply warming flavours from the cumin, turmeric, …
Homemade granola is a staple in my pantry, and I love to play around with different flavours to keep things interesting. Banana Bread Granola is my latest granola obsession, and it is just so good! Imagine all the warm and cozy spices and flavours of …
The role of salad maker has somehow become my job at any and all family gatherings. I served this holiday kale salad at Christmas a couple of years ago, and it was a big hit with my family. This salad is on the lighter side so as not to take away from any of the other delicious holiday food on the table, but it still has lots of interesting textures and flavours to create a wonderful, satisfying bite. Every holiday table needs a salad, so why not try this one! Continue reading Holiday Kale Salad
My family has been making some version of frizzled green beans as a holiday side dish for years. This year I decided to level the recipe up with the addition of crispy shallots, and the result is epic. With just seven ingredients and under 25 …
I have to confess, I have been a fennel hater pretty much my whole life. Despite this, I had the bright idea to develop a very crisp and autumnal cabbage-based salad with apple and fennel. I know, I even surprised myself with this! I couldn’t …

I’m not trying to jump ahead to fall too quickly, so this salad is perfect for this transitional season while the weather is still warm and the days are sunny. Continue reading Spring Roll Salad
I can’t take credit for this combo—it’s the brainchild of my friend, Kaitie. That being said, this Piña Colada Protein Smoothie is so delicious, and I’ve been making it so often that I figured it deserved a permanent place on the blog. As some of …
I have been on a serious chia pudding grind lately. My go-to breakfast for the last few weeks has been this Coconut Chia Pudding with Lime and Cardamom mixed with thick yogurt and fresh fruit. I’m usually someone who gets tired of eating the same …
Homemade granola is a staple item in my pantry. I love to have granola on hand for quick snacks and easy breakfasts. Plus, I love how much culinary freedom making my own granola gives me—I can add whatever ingredients I want! Recently I decided to branch out from my usual tahini granola, and so the recipe for this chocolate granola with hazelnuts was born. Continue reading Chocolate Granola with Hazelnuts
Recently I was invited to an impromptu dinner party with friends and was tasked with making a dessert for the group. This Peach and Blueberry Crumble was a crowd pleaser and was so simple to make. It can also be baked during dinner, so it …
