a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
It’s no secret that this summer hasn’t been very “summery”. Sure, we got spoiled with some spectacular 30 degree dock days, but those were usually incompassed by about 7 straight days of rain. Needless to say the wearer has been less than ideal and I …
There are some things that just put me in a really fantastic mood. Making a perfect batch of hummus is one of those things. You may think that that makes me very lame, but my argument is that you have to enjoy the little things in life …
In the days leading up to my school trip to Boston I was baking up a storm. As you can probably imagine the food on school trips is a far stretch from gourmet, but for people with intolerances and specific diets, such as I, the food is practically non-existent. So, that is why my kitchen turned into a whirlwind of granola-making, nut toasting, recipe testing and vacuum sealing.

I love a good hearty bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, and these carrot cake oats hit the spot. If you’re in the mood for a dessert-for-breakfast kind of situation, these oats can satisfy that craving.
A few months back I had a wonderful idea. I was testing out a vegan moussaka recipe from one of my all-time favourite cookbooks, Green Kitchen Travels, and as I was whisking the vegan béchamel sauce I had a wonderful thought. Since I am a fairly busy …
Every year my family has made some type of squash casserole for Thanksgiving. When I was around 13 years old, it became my job to prepare the casserole. My Butternut Squash Casserole with Maple Pecans has been a staple at my family’s Thanksgiving table ever since. Seasonal butternut squash is paired with maple “candied” pecans and cozy spices for the perfect side dish to accompany your holiday meal. Continue reading Butternut Squash Casserole with Maple Pecans
