Why is it that when I think of all the places I have lived in or visited across Canada, the first thing that comes to mind are the restaurants? I think it’s what Gabby Peyton tells us in the introduction to her book, Where We Ate: “Restaurants are so much more than the iconic food they invent or Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Where We Ate”
The first time I heard about The Greenhouse Juice Co. was from some Toronto friends. The GJco. had just opened near them and they couldn’t stop talking about their “neighbourhood juice bar.” Could anything sound more wonderful than having an organic juice bar within a stone’s throw of your house? But in my mind Toronto is like that — neighbourhoods full of farm to table shops and restaurants, juice bars, coffee shops, collectives Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: The Greenhouse Cookbook”
Hey! Happy April! Maybe it’s just me but I feel like by the time March comes around I’m “phoning” my meals in. I feel unexcited, uninspired, and gray. Then spring happens and everything starts to feel new and fresh again. Produce looks better at the supermarket and I feel more inspired to make simple meals that are a combination of grains, legumes/pulses, fruit, and veggies. “Big Salads” (can’t ever help not to think of Seinfeld when I use this phrase!) are what I gravitate towards and TBH this type of meal has been creating a lot of dinner harmony between adults and toddler here.

Sometimes the months go by in a blink of an eye. WordPress is telling me that I’ve been a member for five months and that I’ve hit 10 posts (and I cannot even begin to describe how thankful/flattered I am that people have been reading and hitting that “like” button! I started writing these posts as a way to keep my mind active and sharp — idk if I’m any sharper. Time will tell, I guess.). Not bad, but I find each week I’m struggling to find something to review. As far as cookbooks go, the ones I’ve reviewed so far are ones I’ve cooked from at length, and I feel that before I review a cookbook much inspectigation needs to happen. There are a few I’m currently cooking from (like Vegetarian Everyday and Mamushka: A Cookbook) that I’ll be looking forward to reviewing in the upcoming months. I’ve also entered the brave new world of cooking/cookbook apps, which I must admit I’m enjoying way more than I thought I would (that review will also be happening soon).
