Creamy, buttery, rich, exotic flavours. When I was a teenager and I used to work at the mall, there was this Indian fast food restaurant in the food court that was so good--they always had a lineup! Every day on my lunch breaks I would run over there to try and beat the rush, and the only thing on the menu that I never got sick of ordering was their butter chicken on rice with a side of warm naan. Mmmmmm. Oh. Em. Gee. It was a foodgasm, every single time. But making traditional Indian ...

Cherry + Banana Cocoa Snacking Rounds for the Whole Family
When I was a little kiddo, I remember one of my all-time favourite snacks to be saltine cracker peanut-butter sandwiches. My grandmother and I would sit in the living room and make them together, scooping up the peanut butter by the spoonful. (no one else in the family was allowed to eat in the living room, but I was the youngest grandchild, so you know). Last week my heartmate and I had some friends over for a night of finger foods + board games. We lead exciting lives, we know. ...
Low-Sugar, Nutrient-Dense Plant-Based Bowl Recipes
So there’s this theory that all foods look and taste better when they come served in a bowl. Crazy? I don’t think so. A while back, I was reading an article on how the human eye positively favours and gravitates towards circular or oblong shaped items. Why? Because everything that comes from the earth, naturally has rounded and curved edges. We’re all subconsciously trained to favour rounded items, because we believe that Mother Nature or Planet Earth has provided it to us. Sound a ...
[ Perfect Summer Salad ] Cauliflower Tabbouleh
goop. You know goop. Gwyneth Paltrow's lifestyle blog that offers unbiased recommendations on things from travel, food, skincare and more. I love goop. Over the year's it's become one of my go-to's for health-centric advice, and educational content. In a lot of ways, when Gwyneth Paltrow launched goop, she was pioneering the concept of content-creation as a viable lifestyle for many of us bloggers today. ...

How many of you have seen these banana pops online before?! I’ve been seeing them everywhere lately, so naturally I had to take a stab at making them myself!

The Ultimate Vegan Appetizer for Your Next Dinner Party!
Last week S & I held a dinner party at our place for six of our friends, and we made a vegan appetizer that left EVERYONE wanting more! I should've listened to my mom who always said "it's better to have too much than not enough!" Truthfully, our friends were satisfied (at least that's what they said), but all of them were asking for the recipe of my vegan appetizer! I actually shouldn't say "my" vegan appetizer, as I got it from the event I previously shared with you, hosted by Loblaw's, ...

(check it out here). I decided to take a stab at my first vegan recipe all by myself! And not to ...
