Pasta e Fagioli {Vegan}

This post was originally published in November, 2018.  Ugh. This is the only word I can think of right now to describe the weather. November in Western Canada–it’s dark at 5pm, it’s raining all the time, and it feels like we haven’t seen the sun …

Summer Corn Black Bean Salad

It’s Corn (Season)! Remember that TikTok from a couple of summers back where the kid was eating corn in the middle of the summer and loving it? That’s me. During every corn season. Every year. I recently got back from a pretty long solo road …
