a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
I’ve been sitting on this Vegetarian Lasagna recipe for a while. When I was in grade 11 and 12, I worked for a catering company in my hometown over the summers. One of my responsibilities was to make lasagnas for the storefront, which sold prepared …
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. …
Happy (almost) holidays everyone! It has been quite the year and I for one am very excited to have a bit of down time over the next couple of weeks to enjoy time with friends and family and to eat some delicious food of course! Continue reading Hot Chocolate Cookies
I cooked up some deliciously easy Shakshouka on my Instagram stories the other day and saved the recipe to my highlights, but I thought I would write it up and share the recipe here too for anyone who does not have Instagram.
Can we just take a minute to acknowledge how quickly this summer has flown by? How is it already August?! Crazy stuff! I’ve been trying to soak up the delicious flavours of summer before fall strikes and I have to wait another full year to …
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. They took a look and ended up taking an X-ray, which verified that I most definitely had a full tooth hanging out back there, a tooth that was supposed to have been removed seven months earlier… I was baffled by this discovery, as was my dentist, the hygienist, the receptionist, and the surgeon himself. So it turns out that the surgeon just straight up missed one of the four teeth he was supposed to remove. I have no clue how that is even possible, but I am living proof that it is!

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.
Growing up, Paris is one of those cities that you see all the time in the movies. Movies, shows and social media paint a beautiful image of the city, so it’s pretty surreal when you actually arrive there and see it for yourself. It’s kind of like …
A little while back I was browsing instagram, as one does, when I came across an instagram story from Tara O’Brady, the author of the Seven Spoons blog and cookbook. The story was a very loose recipe for roasted cauliflower with honey, hot sauce and nutritional yeast. As soon as I saw it I was sure to screenshot so that I could try this combo later. When I finally did give it a try, it was love at first bite haha. Since that first time I’ve fooled around with the quantities of the ingredients to get, in my opinion, the perfect sweet, spicy and salty flavour combo.

Today was my official last day as a ski instructor. It was a perfect last day too. The sun was shining, conditions were great and it wasn’t cold at all. This was my fifteenth season on snow, my seventh on staff and my fifth as a …
