Plant-Forward Living with Rebecca Coleman
It’s like someone flipped a switch, and suddenly it’s summer. This has been a long winter and spring. It’s been a looooong 17 months (feels like decades), but finally it’s starting to feel like we’re turning a corner. Case counts are down. Way down. People …
Well, hello there, October. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one, but this year feels like it has been both the longest and the shortest of all time. Like when we were in quarantine? So slow. But things feel a bit more normal now, …
In my pumpkin-spiced frenzy these last couple of weeks, I’ve been doing less recipe creation and more remaking old favourites. I made the No Sugar Spice Cake, which is sweetened with dates and Kabocha, and full of lovely warming spices. I made squash risotto. And …
A few years back, when I first started my business, I’d bake mountains of Christmas cookies to distribute to my clients this time of the year. Well, times have changed. My teaching career took off, I entered the lucrative world of food blogging (LOL) and …

It’s tomato season! Maybe some of you out there have tomatoes in your garden that are producing by the bushel right now. If so, I’m jealous of you–I’ve never been that great at growing them. What I am great at is going to the Farmer’s …

You know what gets me really excited? Like, maybe it’s a little weird, I’m so excited? Fresh produce. Yup, if there’s one thing I love, it’s to spend some time browsing the farmer’s market. Going to a farm stand. It’s just so… wonderful. Fresh! …
