Pasta e Fagioli {Vegan}

This post was originally published in November, 2018.  Ugh. This is the only word I can think of right now to describe the weather. November in Western Canada–it’s dark at 5pm, it’s raining all the time, and it feels like we haven’t seen the sun

It’s November! and World Vegan Day! I don’t know where the year has gone, but here we are smack dab in the middle of fall and starting to think about Christmas. One thing I like to do every year is bake batches of cookies (which

Given what’s been happening in *ahem* international relations with our neighbour to the south these days, travelling to the US for a vacation is becoming less and less popular. Traffic to the US from Canada is way, way down. Canadians, instead, are travelling more in

It’s Corn (Season)! Remember that TikTok from a couple of summers back where the kid was eating corn in the middle of the summer and loving it? That’s me. During every corn season. Every year. I recently got back from a pretty long solo road

What’s the best vegan egg substitute?

Earlier this year, The Kitchn, one of the most beloved and well-respected food blogs on the internets, published this: We Tested 8 Egg Substitutes for Baking and the Winner is a Revelation. This was earlier in the year when eggs spiked in price in the

Sometimes, you just need a really simple, filling and delicious dinner. Ha! Sometimes??!? Yeah, I don’t have a ton of energy these days to be spending hours in the kitchen. I want to get my food prep done and get out. Especially now that the
