Fall is the perfect time to have a big pot of soup on the stove. It makes for a comforting meal and is ridiculously easy to put together with fresh, local ingredients. 

I love the smooth, flavourful taste of butternut squash soup for those crisp, cool days. But just because you make a big pot of soup it doesn’t mean you have to eat the same thing day after day. You all know I love variety!

I’m a...

I love Pumpkin Spice season! Um, I mean Fall. It's that time of year where everyone's flocking to the fields ready to get muddy to find the perfect big orange gourd for carving and where pumpkin spice something is everywhere you turn. 

I've been cooking with pumpkin like it's my only JOB these days. I just can't get enough - pumpkin loaf, roasted pumpkin soup, smoothies, you name it, I'm tryin...

Mint Chocolate Chip. Anytime I go for ice cream I'm hard up to get something other than this. There's something about the crunch of the chocolate and the freshness of the mint. There's something about the combo.

The problem is that most times you find this, it's that bright green colour which you know hasn't come from crushing the mint by hand. Instead it's from a bunch a of unpronounceable in...

I started my business because I believe food has become way more confusing than it needs to be. We're told by countless experts what to eat and it's got to the point that we're not seeing foods anymore. Instead we look for nutrients and calories, math calculations rather than taste and nourishment.

Baking for me is so nostalgic. It always brings back memories of spending quality time with my grandma 'helping' in the kitchen. And by helping, I mean licking a LOT of mixing beaters. Date squares were one treat that my grandma always had around when we'd come to visit. It's funny how the smell of something baking in the oven can trigger memories of people and moments in time.

Nowadays, I lov...

Tis the season to travel! I know many of us will have fun holidays coming up, whether that’s jet-setting on a plane or getting in the car for some adventures on the road. Travelling usually means less healthy options when it comes to eating and taking care of your body. And often times we can take that to mean getting out of our routine and letting everything slide. You know I’m a big believer in ...

It’s finally summer! It took a while for the sunshine and patio season to get here in Vancouver so I don’t know about you but I’m planning to soak up as much of the good weather that I can. This is the time of year I have an internal struggle with myself…I love being in the kitchen, but I love outdoor time just about as much. Simple always wins, so now's when I find ways to use the least amount of...
