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 →
Some recipes are memorable because they're quick. Others are memorable because they're comforting. This one falls into a different category entirely—it’s memorable because every bite makes you want to go back for another. The first time we tried Chef's Plate's Spicy Cuban Black Beans, it quickly became one of those meals that everyone in the... Continue Reading →
Sometimes it's the simplest additions that make the biggest difference. This Vegan Lime Crema is one of those recipes that can completely transform a meal.

Summer has definitely been putting our slushie machine to good use! With all the hot weather we've been having, it's become our favourite way to cool off, and I've been having so much fun recreating classic frozen treats at home. The kids have been requesting our dairy-free chocolate milkshakes on repeat, but I wanted to... Continue Reading →
Nothing says summer quite like a 99 cent frosty here in Canada. There was just something magical about those thick, creamy chocolate Frostys on a hot day.

Ever since we brought home our slushie machine, we’ve been having far too much fun experimenting with different frozen drink combinations.
