a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
One thing I’m known for in my family is my ability to make a bomb salad out of any random assortment of ingredients—a clean-out-the-fridge salad, if you will. When my stepsister and my stepbrother’s girlfriend come over for dinner, they are always most excited about …
Radicchio has been having a major moment in my household lately. I love a bitter leafy veg (hello, arugula!) and radicchio fits the bill. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, radicchio’s beautiful deep red colour is perfect for this time of year. This winter …
I’m thrilled to announce that I finally got my hands on some fresh, local rhubarb. And what did I do with that rhubarb? I made a delicious Rhubarb & Almond Coffee Cake of course! Rhubarb is another spring gem and I love how its natural sourness pairs beautifully with something sweet. Continue reading Rhubarb & Almond Coffee Cake
It’s finally starting to feel like spring and I’m celebrating with this Spring Pea Risotto recipe. To me, peas are a quintessential spring food item. What better way to celebrate them than making them the star of a delicious Spring Pea Risotto?
I know that it is technically spring, but the weather outside is suggesting otherwise. As much as I love spring dishes, I’m still leaning towards cozy recipes closer to the winter end of the spectrum while the weather remains cold and snowy. I’m sure I …
Overnight oats are one of the easiest make-ahead breakfast. But sometimes I find myself getting tired of all the same old combos. Enter: Earl Grey Overnight Oats.

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!
Sheet Pan Sweet Potato Salad with Lemon Tahini Sauce is a super easy sheet pan meal to throw together. It can be eaten warm or can be stored in the fridge for up to four days to serve as a grab-and-go meal. A nice little bonus with this recipe is that the spices on the sweet potatoes smell phenomenal while they are baking, so you get a tasty dish and a nice-smelling home out of it—win-win! In fact, one of the first few times I made this dish coincided with a move-in date in my apartment building, and one of the people moving furniture in the hallway commented on how nice the hallway smelled to one of my roommates. So I guess that this dish actually has the potential to make your whole apartment building smell good too. 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 …
