Hello, friends! How are you? I love to hear from you so please get in touch on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, via email, or in the comment section of my blog. Onto the food part of this post! I'm back with a new vegan recipe to tempt your taste buds: double ginger cookies with chocolate drizzle! This is one of my all time fave recipes, and I have spent months perfecting it for you (and for

Hello hello, hey hello hello! How are you, my friend? How has your week been? What's been nourishing for you? Scary? Energizing? I've been trying to balance rest and action; joy and sorrow; alone and social time. Music is a medicine (Erykah Badu!!), so are my house plants, garden plants, Netflix Party, and daily THC-fueled walks. I've been "reading" an incredible audio book trilogy from Tomi

Hello! I have returned after a loooong hiatus! I've just been, you know, getting through this global pandemic and trying to take care of myself. These past few weeks have been really good for me, though, and I feel myself starting to get inspired again. The skies are opening up, and so is my spirit. So, there's no better a time than now to share a wonderful recipe I have been working on. This

Tea: "the adoration of the beautiful among the facts of everyday existence. It inculcates purity and harmony. It is a worship of the Imperfect, as it is a tender attempt to accomplish something possible in this impossible thing we know as life." -- Kakuzō Okakura, The Book of Tea Hello, friends! Happy Valentine's Day. I have been reconsidering the art and act of love this year.

Hello, all. How is everyone doing? I've got a treat for you today! It's cozy, sweet, and seasonally-inspired. In the festive spirit of Autumn, October, and Halloween: I give you... *drum roll* ... pumpkin pie pancakes!! (I understand you probably already read the title of this post, so that drum roll wasn't necessary. I just like drum rolls.) They are vegan and gluten-free, but you really

Hey, fam! September is here, and that means some of us are BACK! IN! SCHOOL! I have been working my way through an undergrad for about 100 years, and that's no different this semester. So: I've been inspired to create some easy, nutritious and delicious recipes, that I can eat at home or on campus. One of these recipes is granola. It's been a fave food of mine ever since I was a kid. When

Today I am giving my own personal response to the age-old vegan question, "Should we take supplements, or nah?" In short, my answer is: it depends, but probably. Read on for the longer version.  I have been through many phases in my nearly 10-year vegan journey. They've all been pretty public because, hey, this blog. So, you might know that for many years, as I tried to stay all raw

Hello, friends. Busy as I am with school, meditation practice, endless to-dos, trips, errands, and life, I am TRYING to post more regularly. It's not really happening. I remember when I used to publish recipes every week... Oooh, those were the days: back when I was a teenager, with about 200% less worries. ANYHOO. Today is THIS day, and here I am. I want to share with you my current fave

Hello, sweet readers! Today I bring you some a little different from my regular recipe posts. I want to share a super easy tutorial for a DIY meditation cushion/pillow. I improvised this last week and it came together perfectly. For me, an important piece of why I meditate in the first place is to be content with the simple gifts in life, and to not desire more than I need. So, there is

Babes! Summer is upon us! That means vegan burger time! And apparently lots of exclamation marks!  I have to admit that summer is not my season of choice. I am one of those people who prefers the gloom of fall and winter. HOWEVER, for a short period of time, I do appreciate the warmth of the sun on my skin, and the smells of barbecues getting heated up to grill veggies and veggie

Hello, my darlings. How have you been? I am back with another recipe. This time, we're making RAW, VEGAN fruit tarts with a delicious hazelnutty banana creme filling. This recipe is inspired and adapted from one I shared many years ago: Just The Bare Fruit Tarts. (I was really into GIFs then, apparently.)

Hello, dear readers. This is a pretty epic post, that, in my mind anyway, has been a long time coming! Today I wanna share my favourite cookbook titles with you. This collection is tried and true, according to my humble perspective. I get mailed a lot of cookbooks to review, and it's been this way for almost 8 years. After all my testing, behold: the best of the best.  This

Hello, my dearest readers! Thank you for being you today! I have a WONDERFUL recipe to share. These truffles are so creamy and decadent, so cute and precious, you might want to have one (or four...) to start every day. I just had a couple for pre-breakfast and I testify that, thanks to these little bites of rich deliciousness, the morning could NOT have begun any better. The recipe calls for

Hello, sweet readers. How are you? Today I share an elegant vegan recipe for coconut cream pie, with the extra treat of pecans. This recipe is adapted from Laura Wright, in her magnificent First Mess Cookbook. I have been a fan of Laura's since I began blogging years ago, and her recipes never disappoint. The original is all coconut all the time, but I tried using pecans instead of coconut

Yep. This is a magical mix of rich, roasted brew and sweet, melty ice cream. I am delighted by the way the two components balance one another to create a perfect taste experience. This recipe hits the spot on hot summer days. I use Dandy Blend instead of coffee (it is DELICIOUS and caffeine-free), but you do you, babe. If real coffee is your preference, use real coffee. Dandy Blend is not

I recently had the privilege of visiting the island of Maui, part of the nation of Hawai'i. In this post I will be sharing some photos I captured, as well as the diary entries I wrote during my time there. Thank you, as always, for reading! xo I firstly need to address that Hawai'i is a U.S.-occupied state, and is in reality a sovereign realm unto itself. Like the rest of Canada and

Hello, friends! This cake is soft, sweet, creamy, moist and full of flavour. The recipe contains loads of micronutrients from oats, beets and carrots, and kind of reminds me of fancy scones. In celebration of Earth Day, let's share plant-based treats with those we love, be conscious of where our foods come from, and grateful that we have the privilege of delicious food in the first place (

Sweet readers! Salutations! I had a particularly powerful meditation on a recent morning. I was struck by the energy of inspiration to share my thoughts on minimalism and intention. I want to share these with you because for me, "minimalism" is not a simply matter of material possessions, or lack thereof. In this post I will discuss how living simply and intentionally benefits my

Greetings, sweet readers! I'm here to share a savoury recipe, in contrast to the plethora of desserts I normally make. Balance, right? This dish was put together spontaneously and turned out wonderfully... sometimes the best meals are made with random odds and ends around the kitchen. Anybody agree? As usual, this recipe is quick and easy to make. I've been loving these pre-cooked udon

Hello, my babes. I've been going on so many lil trips this season, and right now I am in between two. The adventures in new places do wonders for the soul and refresh my perspectives. Travelling gets me out of my comfort zone and into a more reflective state. When I return home, I am always filled with gratitude for all the pleasures - small and great - in my life. One small pleasure is

Hello, friends. I stumbled upon a giant bag of puffed rice at a local grocery store a few days ago and immediately had the urge to create a vegan choco pb rice crispy bar. This is a super quick and easy recipe; sweet, chewy and crunchy, a perfect energizing snack or fun dessert any time of day. I'm not kidding: I threw this recipe together in under 15 minutes while I was waiting for my

Hello, darling readers. I've been away for 8 days in the far north of Turtle Island, in Kwanlin Dün lands (aka Whitehorse, Yukon Territories). The temperature was -20 most days, and whole rivers and lakes were frozen under many feet of pure, white snow. I hiked through the woods and took in the humble silence of earth in the absence of other humans. I wrote a lot of poetry and experienced

Hello, my darlings. Back for a short post because I have the unexpected energy! I'm gonna talk about mental illness for a hot second and then get on to the fun stuff (cookies)! <3 Mental health update: depression in my life has been getting more intense and at this point it's a full-on disability.

Greetings, greetings. How are you, darling?  I recognize a greasy grilled cheese sandwich, albeit vegan, seems to have nothing to do with a so-called Rawsome Vegan Life. Grilled cheese is not even "healthy," right!? Let alone raw. What's goin' on here? Well, if you've been reading any of my recent posts on Instagram and Facebook you may have picked up on my new concepts about food.

Hello, hello! I'm back, back, back again. A relatively large amount of time as passed since I last posted on the blog. I recognize this, I apologize. Today I am divulging a little about what's been up with my mental health lately, and sharing a deliiiiicious recipe for vegan hot chocolate that I've been making almost every morning.
