Anyone that knows me knows I don’t do coffee. I non-jokingly become a bit of a psychopath. Shaky hands, clammy palms, crashing hard…it’s a sad sight. London Fogs on the other hand get thrown back all the time. Earl grey, steamed milk, and vanilla make the perfect combo. If I could hook up an IV…
A Cozy Breakfast With the Girls at Everyday Allergen-Free
This post is one of the reasons I started this blog. Initially, I started it as a university portfolio piece to show I could string a sentence together and snap a photo. From there, I realized the community of food blogger in Canada and beyond is amazing & supportive & friendly & funny & talented…the…
Easy Crusty Artisan Bread
Bread is an undertaking that requires patience. I failed a lot before I found a recipe and method that worked for me. I failed so much that I can make a list of all the times I failed so you can laugh at me: I dug my parents’ bread maker out of their basement and used…
Avocado Chocolate Chip Cookies
Everyone who cooks with avocado understands the plight of trying to guess the perfect ripeness. You can buy them at almost-perfection and hope for the best, or go from green and wait for the day when they feel just right. More often than not, I overshoot and wait too long, leaving me with a bowlful…
Fruit Loop Donuts
Cereal as a decoration on desserts is pretty great. I got mixed reactions on these ones since they’re a little off the beat and path, but I like them. These are best made day-of to ensure the freshness and crunchiness of your cereal (“fresh” being a relative term here), but they still tasted good the…
Creamy Chickpea Salad
For anyone who lives in Toronto, you know this winter has been insanely mild. While it’s a bit odd walking around in flats in early March, it also means that I get to bust out all of my warm weather recipes a little bit early this year. Yes, I know it snows in April every…
Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Brussels sprouts are a newfound glory in my life. Neither of my parents will eat them because they grew up hating them so much, so I’d never really tried them until a year ago when I tried roasting the individual petals and burnt them all (not a great introduction, but it was my fault, not…
How To Make Foolproof Vegetarian Quiche
Quiche is one of the ultimate brunch foods. It’s pretty healthy. There’s no shortage of fat (cream and cheese) and I wasn’t very light handed with the salt on this one either. That being said, each slice is packed full of protein and nutrients from the kale, mushrooms and other veg, so I’ll take it….
Easy Vegan Udon Soup with Ginger Miso Broth
Copycat recipe time! Thug Kitchen has provided me with hours of entertainment and some great meals, and they didn’t let me down on this one. Full disclosure, my boyfriend did most of the cooking on this one, and for once I was the one helping with prep. Sometimes it’s best to get back to basics….
Nacho Fries (plus a look at the T-Fal Actifry)
I’m generally a healthy person, but I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t love fried food. It gets out of hand sometimes. I was talking to a coworker of mine the other week about cookies (what else do I talk about), and she brought up that she made shortbread with her grandma—some of…
