Food – Photography – Drinks – Drama
What do you do when you’ve bought a bunch of pears and your kids refuse to eat them? Pear Gin Fizz, amigos. While it won’t fix the issue of your kids being fussy eaters, it will provide a both beautiful and tasty drink and that’s almost just as good. I also love gin, and if […]

You know the expression “when life gives you lemons”? Well, I feel like I’ve been buried in the sour fruit lately. Enough lemons, life – at least send limes so that I can make margaritas. Anyway, to mirror the state of things, I’ve decided to go with a lemon theme for the next few weeks. […]

If there was ever a summer to start gardening, this was it. For years, I’ve wanted to grow a herb and veggie garden. I’d spend much of the spring thinking about it, talking about it, obsessing over it, only to throw all gardening plans to the wayside as soon as patio season commenced. I mean, […]

Ah, mint: how you spark debates in our home. See, I love mint. I’d welcome the leafy herb into my kitchen any day. The kids and my spouse however, not so much. While my main squeeze can handle mint in savoury meals, he turns his nose up when it’s incorporated into desserts. Meanwhile, the kids […]

On the days when I’m craving something healthy for breakfast, this Raspberry Banana Smoothie Bowl is a staple. It’s light, refreshing and the dark chocolate shavings kinda make me feel like I’m eating dessert (‘cause y’all know that I not-so-secretly like cake for breakfast). Why am I eating my smoothie out of a bowl instead […]

While there is certainly no bad brownie, there’s something to be said about the combination of salty peanut butter and fudgy chocolate. I went ahead and tried to make them healthy-ish by using Fatso Classic High-Performance Peanut Butter which is packed with plant based superfats, as well as chia and flax seeds (this makes my […]

Alright, so I don’t normally post food on the blog that I didn’t cook myself, but I feel this parsnip soup was somewhat of a collaborative effort. You see, I was standing in the kitchen while my boyfriend made it, then I photographed it and ate it. That makes it kind of mine too, right? […]

It’s Margarita Monday, amigos! Honestly, I can’t think of a better way to end my first day back at the office than with one of these watermelon margaritas. Refreshing, sweet and tangy, these bad boys almost make me forget that I have to go back into the office again tomorrow and adult all over again. […]

The cocktail force has been strong in our home lately. Since my boyfriend left for work before I was done shooting, I double fisted these rhubarb sours solo (and braless, because who the hell cares at this point). I’ve slowly let myself go in terms of general maintenance/appearance and I can’t really say that I’m […]

Little known fact: I hate drinking champagne. I know; how un-bougie of me, right? It isn’t just champagne though. I don’t know if it’s from all the times orange soda spray out of my nostrils as a child (which somehow happened every birthday party I attended), or because of the way it burns as it […]
