Here’s something you maybe didn’t know about me: I lived in Newfoundland for a big chunk of my life. It’s true! While I was born in Vancouver, and I lived here till I was 12, the summer I turned 13, my mom, dad, my brother 

Vegan Crêpes

Vegan Crêpes

Sometimes, the universe just wants you to make some damn crêpes. It started back in the fall when I got a new crêpe pan. I’d had one for ages, but it was teflon-coated, and I’m trying to move anything teflon out of my kitchen. I

Peanut Butter Cookies for my Dad

A couple of weeks ago, I lost my dad. This was neither sudden nor unexpected. My dad had just turned 93, and there had been many times in the last couple of years we thought might lose him. Over the last five years or so,

Vegan Eats in Edmonton (#YEG)

Eating and travelling are probably two of my most favourite things. Travel is something I’ve not done in a very, very long time, at least not in a significant way. I’ve done lots of road trips in the past four years, but between the pandemic

Ooni Pizza Oven Test Drive

Truth be told, there was a time when there was pretty much always a box of Kirkland Cheese Pizzas in my deep freeze. They were really handy to have on hand for a quick dinner for M and I; I’d just throw my own toppings
