a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
Hello all! Disclaimer: I am fully aware that June is in full swing and that the weather is, on average, quite consistently hot at this point and this recipe may seem to be better suited for colder temperatures, but I’m here to tell ya that …
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 …
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 also didn’t have any time to grocery shop because I was too busy studying for said midterms, I almost got hit by a car, and I basically just didn’t sleep. Sunday night after walking out of the last of my midterms I was an absolute dead woman. By the time that I got home I was so tired that I fell asleep with all my lights on while waiting for my laundry to be done. I can honestly say it was the worst week ever. But now it’s behind me and I have time to cook and enjoy my life again (yay!). Continue reading Cozy Oatmeal + Cranberry Cookies
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 has been my go-to meal all summer and continues to be now. Before I left for school I made a huge batch of pesto and froze it to enjoy throughout my fall semester. This recipe is super easy and tasty. I may be a …
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
A few months back I was at Shoppers Drug Mart with some friends and made the happy discovery that my all-time favourite dark chocolate was on sale. Usually I can deter myself from buying chocolate simply because it is so damn expensive, but it was …
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 …
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 that I accomplish this is by having prepped food, or the ingredients for easy-to-prepare food, on hand at all times if possible. Keeping a jar of Bircher Muesli Mix in my pantry makes prepping a healthy breakfast so easy! All you need is some milk, yogurt, and bircher mix to make a delicious overnight meal.

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 …
