Matcha Ube Chia Pudding {Vegan}

The obsession continues. Though this week I learned that I’ve been confused. And probably wrong. But hey, what else is new??? Turns out the things that I’ve been calling “ubes” are maybe actually not ubes. One of my friends, who is is of Philippino decent,

My obsession with ubes waxes and wanes, but it’s always there in the background. Living in a city with a large Asian population helps. Vancouver is pretty in love with ubes, and they pop up in many restaurants and bakeries around the city. Elmo Baking

We’ve had an unexpected brush with winter here on the West Coast, which left us in a deep freeze for about a week, and resulted in a snow day. Now if you live pretty much anywhere East of where I live in Vancouver, snow and

How do you celebrate Valentine’s Day? I’m not the biggest fan of Valentine’s Day… in my mind, if you have special people in your life, you should tell them that more often than once a year. It’s nice to make the ones you love feel

About a year ago, I came into possession of my mom’s recipe box. Now, I lost my mom to cancer 12 years ago, so this is somewhat of a treasure to me. Not just because these are recipes I remember her making (and me loving),

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,
