White Chocolate, Pecan & Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies {Vegan}

It’s November! and World Vegan Day! I don’t know where the year has gone, but here we are smack dab in the middle of fall and starting to think about Christmas. One thing I like to do every year is bake batches of cookies (which

Dream Destination: La Paz, Mexico

Given what’s been happening in *ahem* international relations with our neighbour to the south these days, travelling to the US for a vacation is becoming less and less popular. Traffic to the US from Canada is way, way down. Canadians, instead, are travelling more in

Look. Yes. I have too many cucamelons. Who knew that my secret talent was growning cucamelons?? Not me! But here we are…. And boy are we here!! It’s September and I have way, way WAY too many cucamelons. I have been eating them in salads,

Sometimes, you just need a really simple, filling and delicious dinner. Ha! Sometimes??!? Yeah, I don’t have a ton of energy these days to be spending hours in the kitchen. I want to get my food prep done and get out. Especially now that the 

Meal Prep: Thai Salad

Meal Prep: Thai Salad

I’m a big meal prepper, and I have been for a long time. Spending a couple of hours once a week to make lunches and breakfasts (and the occasional dinner) for the week helps to save me so much time, and I eat much more
