DIY Seasoning Salt for Gifting

Well, it’s the middle of October, and I’m already seeing businesses (I’m looking at you, Costco and Dollarama) putting out their Christmas merch. I mean, it’s not even Hallowe’en yet… Sigh. However, I do like to think in advance for Christmas, and that’s mostly because

Beet Tartare {Vegan}

This recipe is un-beet-levable! It’s just one tiny letter, but it makes a big difference–this is my vegan version of beef tartare. In case you’re not familiar with what beef tartare is, let me beet you to the punch. It’s a popular French dish you’ll

There’s a tiny little tapas place here in the West End of Vancouver that I have long adored. It’s called Espana and it’s on Denman Street. It’s a tiny little alley way bar, with just a few seats, but It’s become a fixture in the
