Plant-Based Eating and Gentle Living
Growing up, Sunday dinners in my house were often something special. One of our favourite weekends treats was a big, hearty English roast beef dinner consisting of a full prime rib, creamy mashed potatoes, golden Yorkshire pudding, and something green on the side to make us feel balanced. It wasn’t just about the food (though... Continue Reading →
One of my favourite parts of summer is having an abundance of fresh produce to work with..when the rabbits haven't gotten there first. Between the garden and local farm stands, we're always looking for new ways to use up all those fresh fruits and vegetables while getting more greens onto our plates. Now, I'll admit...

We’ve always loved breakfast-for-dinner and special brunches, but that day I wanted something indulgent. Something nostalgic. Something that... Continue Reading →
How these cinnamon roll waffles came to be: Over the years, breakfast-for-dinner has become a bit of a tradition in our house. We’ve made every waffle variation you can imagine: classic, whole wheat, chocolate, you name it. But for my husband’s birthday this year, I wanted something that felt special. Something nostalgic. Something that didn’t... Continue Reading →
I am always looking for nutritious, quick breakfast ideas that I can make ahead and have easy meals to grab during the work week. While I often batch cook and freeze healthy waffles, I do like to mix it up too. And while some may think of oatmeal as a rather bland breakfast, it doesn’t... Continue Reading →
My daughter is officially at the age where she is adamant we must leave snacks out for Santa. And she takes the responsibility very seriously. While Santa may be known for loving classic chocolate chip cookies, she has confidently declared that he is sure to love these vegan sugar cookies too! So, our Christmas spread... Continue Reading →
It’s the week of my daughter’s birthday and, to celebrate, I asked her what kind of special breakfast she wanted. She thought for a moment and confidently answered, “Chocolate pancakes.” We’ve made a lot of chocolate pancakes lately though, so I suggested we give another favourite a chocolaty twist… crepes.
