Sweet Potato Noodle Pad Thai with Ginger & Garlic Shrimp

I don’t know about you, but this girl has a deep-rooted appreciation for Thai food. Pad Thai all-ways, any day would accurately describe my 22 year-old self. Immediately after I graduated university, I started working for IBM & rented my first “solo” apartment in the heart of midtown Toronto. It was “strategically situated” directly above…… Continue reading Sweet Potato Noodle Pad Thai with Ginger & Garlic Shrimp

Five Easy and Healthy Meal Prep Tips!

Give it up for the weekend! I always do. I mean, my week feels like a wild buffalo stampede is coming at me sometimes. I try and take the time (whenever I can) to enjoy the simple things; like quietly sipping on freshly brewed coffee while my dog rests on my lap as I pen…… Continue reading Five Easy and Healthy Meal Prep Tips!

Brussels Sprouts with homemade Lemony Tahini

I believe brussels sprouts deserve more love. They are sort of every kid’s holiday food nightmare. I’d look at them (sulk) and then look away, literally. There’s so many ways to eat them, dress them, and enhance this unassuming vegetable that has endured such a bad rep for so long. They’re kind of like that…… Continue reading Brussels Sprouts with homemade Lemony Tahini

After taking a second to stop and think about it; when “butter” is part of the naming convention, well, it (kind…… Continue reading Hello, Healthy Butter Chicken !

Buckwheat Soba Spaghetti!

Traditional spaghetti was a primary staple in my university diet. At least a once-a-week meal that we would eat, reheat and eat over the course of two days. Not very exciting to say the least; but hearty and affordable. During my 4th and final year of undergrad school, I moved into a brand new residence that…… Continue reading Buckwheat Soba Spaghetti!

Buckwheat Tabbouleh

I was casually asked at a dinner party just last Friday what my blog is all about. It’s questions like those that make you step back and try to fill in the gaps with inside knowledge but outside perspective. I concluded that it’s the story of a life, told through food. I share recipes and…… Continue reading Buckwheat Tabbouleh

Easy, Lazy, Nutrient-Dense Meals 101

Am back friends! A bit battered & bruised (quite literally) but all in one piece and very thankful the surgery is over with. My husband keeps joking I’m like “Wolverine” from the X-Men comics because my incisions healed so well and I bounced back in no time. I think that when you eat well and take good…… Continue reading Easy, Lazy, Nutrient-Dense Meals 101

Insanely Delicious Enchiladas!

So, it’s been a little quiet around here… I know, I know. I usually write 2-3 recipe posts a week; but I’ve got a little something personal to share with you. I’ve been busy getting ready for surgery tomorrow… Nothing major thankfully, just scheduled abdominal surgery to repair a hernia. I guess two beautiful back-to-back…… Continue reading Insanely Delicious Enchiladas!
