a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
This recipe has been on my ‘to be posted’ list for years. The reason that I’m only sharing it now is that I procrastinated shooting the accompanying photos until now… The recipe itself has been in my draft posts since last summer and in my recipe journal …
Happy Saturday! It’s finally starting to feel like winter around here after weeks of unseasonably mild weather. With the temperatures dropping deep into the negatives, I’m inclined to lean towards more warming and hardy foods. Enter Roasted Red Pepper + Cauliflower Soup!
At the end of the winter semester when I was in the thick of group projects and was bouncing between group meetings I had one evening where my meetings went well past 10pm. Between meetings, I scored the pantry and fridge looking for something I could throw together as a quick sheet pan meal to eat for dinner. I threw a couple sweet potatoes in the oven to roast while I worked and then tossed in various odds and ends that I had on hand. The result was a surprisingly delicious combination of flavours. I wrote a quick note of what ingredients I had used so I could recreate it another time when I was less busy. Continue reading Sheet Pan Sweet Potato Salad with Lemony Tahini Sauce
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.
