a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
When I was in Brighton, England, in early 2024, my friend and I stopped in at this adorable cafe/restaurant to get lunch and take refuge from the British rain relentlessly falling outside. On the menu they had a spiced cauliflower dish served with fluffy hummus, …
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!
