How to Make Vegan Pumpkin Scones [Easy *Actually Delicious* Recipe] 

October 21, 2019 by Nick Joly

vegan pumpkin scone recipe

I feel like over the last few years ‘Pumpkin Spice’, as a flavour, has gotten somewhat of a bad rep! Maybe it’s been overdone… maybe it’s on too many coffee shop menus… maybe it’s been infused into too many different types of foods… I don’t know!  I do know that to me, October is the month for allllll of the #pumpkinspice baked goods! That’s one food category from which you just can’t take the pumpkin away!  Pumpkin scones, pumpkin loaves, pumpkin soups… and I’m just saying the pumpkin timbits ...

Let’s Cook 30 | 30 Meals in 30 Days and Why You Should Join this Fun Challenge!

lets cook 30 york region contest toronto recipes

Friends! Can you believe Fall officially begins in one week?! It’s finally here -- my favourite time of year!  Every September, I fall in love all over again... The autumnal change in colours, the knitwear and sweaters we get to layer on, and the seasonal change in warm beverages on coffee shop menus just get me. Every, single, time! :)   While for some, September can often feel overwhelming at work with colleagues returning from vacation and entering “high productivity mode”, there’s ...

Sunrise Citrus Drink Recipe | Perfect for Get-Togethers

June 2, 2019 by Nick Joly

citrus sunrise cocktail recipe inspired by nick

Well, here we are friends, the first week of June. JUNE! Time really does just fly by! I feel like I say that around this time every year. Once after winter and those colder months of spring are behind us, and again in the fall when summer literally just flashes by us with the blink of an eye. Anywho... This time of year, particularly the last week of May, is when my heartmate and I pretty much round everything up around the house, give it a thorough spring cleaning, and get the backyard ...

Local Freshness Delivered | Toronto Online Grocery Shopping

May 30, 2019 by Nick Joly

Metro Online Delivery eCommerce Groceries

When my heartmate and I first moved to Toronto five years ago, everyone told us we wouldn’t need a car as we would be living in the core of the city, and as such, would be able to walk anywhere we needed to go. So the time came where packed up all our belongings in Montreal, we sold our car, hired movers...  and 2 plane tickets later we were living in a new city, (the big city), in our condo waiting for our belongings to arrive. ...

Warm & Toasted Homemade Cinnamon Spiced Granola (V, GF)

May 25, 2019 by Nick Joly

homemade vegan granola recipe

Sooooo, I know I’m completely off-season with this recipe because the flavours and profile just scream winter comfort food, BUT, I try not to think of homemade granola as a seasonal snack because it is literally one of my biggest weaknesses. And I embarrassingly consume it in amounts that stretch far beyond a normal portion size. But yolo.  Many of you know, I’m sure, that my weakness is for foods that are both crunchy and savoury (i.e., I can make a bag of chips disappear in two seconds flat). ...

Vanilla-Orange Gluten Free Donuts | Easy Vegan Recipe

April 20, 2019 by Nick Joly

vegan-gluten-free-donuts

Sometimes you just wanna take a bite out of a warm, glazed doughnut. Ahhh, yum! A little indulgence from time to time, right? In moderation of course! The tough part about picking up doughnuts at coffee shops or dessert places is that it isn’t always easy to find “healthier” options. Gluten-free, vegan, allergen-free… Sometimes it can be a challenge. These doughnuts are both vegan and gluten-free, and I challenged myself to keep the sugar to a minimum. Half a cup of sugar for 12-13 ...

No Longer Vegan | What It’s Been Like

April 15, 2019 by Nick Joly

no-longer-vegan-thumbnail

Let me start this off by saying, I’ve been trying to write this post for months now. Every time I’d sit down to try and gather my thoughts, I’d pick up literally anything around me to distract myself. My phone, a snack, my notepad… literally anything. I would realize that I had laundry to do, or dishes to clean... And before I knew it, the time I’d set aside to write this post was up, and I was on to the next thing. In hindsight, it’s clear to me that I was avoiding writing it because I ...

Eggplant Bolognese | The First Mess Cookbook Recipe [Vegan]

February 21, 2019 by Nick Joly

easy-vegan-eggplant-pasta-recipe

Last week my heartmate and I had a moment where we really (really) started to feel the brutal cold of the winter months.  The temperatures had dropped below -20, the snow in our backyard was piling high, and our pup's desire to run out and chase the squirrels away in the mornings had run dry. Poor thing shivers even on the mildest of days.  Despite the rain and slush that occurs this time of year, I love winter. Mostly because of comforting hearty recipes!  ...

Avocados from Mexico & the True Benefits of Plant-Based Fats

December 17, 2018 by Nick Joly

vegan-buddha-bowl-avocados-from-mexico-COVER

There are a number of people I know who equate the colder months of the year to "bulking season”. Whether or not the connection between the two is made intentionally, it is in fact, fact!  I’ve read studies from Cornell and the Daily Mail UK that show men and women in North America and the UK tend to gain anywhere between 1.3 - 4.5 lbs during the winter season. Is it genetics? Or maybe our subconscious telling us to put on more weight to store for the winter? I can’t tell you that, but I do ...
