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, …
Savoury Dutch Baby
Exactly a year ago, I took a writing workshop that changed my life. I know that sounds hyperbolic, and maybe it is, a little. Simply put: I was working two jobs, and one of them was starting to feel not great, for a variety of …
DIY Seasoning Salt for Gifting

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 …
Vegan S’Mores Cookies
Have you tried Crumbl Cookies yet? If you live in Canada, there’s a pretty good chance that you haven’t. Crumbl is an American chain, and they make and sell these huge, gourmet cookies. I have a Nexus card and that facilitates me being able to …
