How was your weekend? We took a trip to the Ardennes and enjoyed a relaxing weekend with J’s family in the woods near the villages of Durbuy and Barvaux. They are both two super adorable and quaint picturesque villages located in the French speaking part of Belgium. We went for a great hike, dined, drank…
All this talk of snow blizzards has got me seriously craving some warming and stick-to-your-bone kinda comfort food. The kind of food that warms the soul and is perfect for a snowy (or rainy in my case!) evening spent in by the fireplace. When I think of comfort food, I think soups, lentils, creamy curries and…
Chocolate Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies with only FIVE ingredients! I think we can all agree that peanut butter + chocolate is one of the best flavor combos ever. Peanut Butter is one of those things that we were never allowed as kids (due to my mom’s allergies) and well, chocolate.. enough said. My love for…
Do you have experience cooking in a small kitchen? How about an itsy, bitsy, tiny kitchen that just so happens to be in the shape of a triangle? When J and I first met together in student residence in France we did all of our cooking out of one pot like pan (that we used…
Over the Christmas holidays I went out with my family to eat at a steakhouse. Before I became a vegetarian I would have never guessed what in the world a vegetarian eats at a steakhouse. Eating out as a vegetarian or vegan is always an adventure of sorts. I’ve been to more than one restaurant where there…
I’m officially back in Belgium and my exams are done, done, done!! My blog posts have been prettyyy sporadic lately due to the holidays, being home and then trying to write my last couple papers which were all due on Monday. Let’s just say, my fingers needed a little break from typing after pulling an…
Since I’ve been home in Toronto my whole routine has been shot out the window. And you know what? It’s kind of nice to have a nice change of pace and switch things up a bit! My chia-seed morning oatmeal has been swapped for pancakes, scrambles, monkey breads and fun family brunches. It’s been great…

I’m home! Safe and sound – and it feels great to be back. I arrived in Toronto, early Saturday evening, after a long and turbulence-filled flight. I know it is harmless, but who else is not a fan of crazay turbulence on places? I honestly felt like I was on a roller coaster for a good…
I’ve been on the hunt for the the perfect Vegan Chocolate Chunk Cookies for awhile. And I have very high expectations with cookies. The perfect Chocolate Chunk Cookie for me is soft and thick in the middle and perfectly chewy around the edges. Not too greasy (can we all agree that greasy chocolate chunk cookies are…
Happy #MoveitMondays! How was your weekend? Can you believe that Christmas is officially ten days away?! Honestly, this month has flown by – this time next week I’ll be home in Toronto with my family, cozying up at home and enjoying my couple weeks of chilly, Canadian weather. I can’t believe it! I’m hoping that…
What’s your Christmas morning tradition? When we were kids, we were always so excited Christmas morning we could never sleep. My parents actually got into the habit of setting the clocks back an hour so we didn’t wake them up at 5 in the morning to see if Santa came. When it was finally time to…
Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend! I thought I’d switch things up from my regular #MoveitMondays post and share a smoothie with you for Williams-Sonoma Smoothie Week! The folks over at Willlams-Sonoma asked me to create a fun and quirky smoothie for Smoothie Week and I thought what’s better than to create a…
Everyday I’m more and more excited that I’m heading home SO soon (15 more sleeps but who’s counting lol!). I’m sure anybody who lives far away can relate. Are you travelling long distances over the holidays? I head home twice a year, once during the holidays and once during the summertime. And the couple of…
Happy Wednesday! Hope y’all are keeping warm in this frigid December weather! Today’s post is a special one – I share with you a candid interview with my friends over at My Wikes Makes! Levan and Amrita are the husband and wife behind their colorful, vibrant and wacky blog! Every week they post yummy, new,…
Who has already started experiencing some real Christmas madness? The shuffle and bustle of the holiday season has started, friends. Students are trying to finish up all their work before the holidays start (hello!), moms & dads are running around trying to get gifts for the entire family, and friends are trying to coordinate the…
These Flourless Almond Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies are so easy, healthy and delicious it’s not even funny. Made with 7 simple ingredients: Almond butter, oats, ground flax seed, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder and chocolate chunks + sea salt if you count that as an ingredient. Which I don’t because technically it’s a finishing touch….
How’s November been for y’all? It’s been one crazy of a good but busy month over here. The cooler weather is really starting to settle in and I’m totally content staying in when I get home with a warm cup of tea, cozying up near our Charlie Brown Christmas tree, wearing my cupcake pajamas and playing my…
Monday is always a fresh start for me. Because #letsbehonest, during the weekend I like to indulge a little in the things I love. Like in this homemade vegan pizza I made last night with friends. (*Honestly, this crust from Sally’s Baking Addiction is to die for.) Or in these beautiful Kale Chips I made…
My mom’s mac and cheese was famous growing up. We’d beg her to make us for us when we were kids because Mac & Cheese night was always the best night of the week. And birthday, holidays you name it – I always wanted her to make her Mac & Cheese for every special occasion. I…
