I am a big believer in self-care. I think nourishing your body, your mind, your spirit is essential to moving through life with compassion, with understanding, with purpose. Giving yourself permission to be loved by you is huge. We’re so hard on ourselves, we demand so much. We overwork ourselves, and we can be unkind

Maple Pecan Baked Apples + Some Self-Reflection
Happy Sunday, lovely humans. It is a dreary day as I report to you from my couch, in my pajamas, with a hot cup of coffee in my hand, and a thick blanket over my lap. The kind of day where you don’t do anything except light candles, play with your pets, and watch Halloween

Lamb, Squash + Chickpea Chili
Good morning! Before we dive in to today’s post, can I just talk about my love for Hayley Kiyoko? I’m currently obsessing about her–her music is great. So if you haven’t checked her out, you can listen to her here. I am really digging this song in particular. I mean aside from the fact that

Squash, Pear + Gorgonzola Galette {grain-free}
It’s a quiet morning today. There’s a chill in the air, as I sit here wrapped in a blanket, sipping on hot coffee. And I just love it. It just feels cozy. It feels like a great day to read a book, stay in pyjamas and do some baking–so that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

Creamy Pumpkin + Thyme Pasta {vegan}
So we wished for it and it finally came: autumn! We can bring out the sweaters, the hats, the fall boots. And we can officially reminisce about those good ol’ hot summer days (which was last Tuesday–just throwing that out there). Ah, yes, it’s my favourite time of year. And for so many good reasons: the

Beet, Fennel + Apple Soup (vegan, paleo, whole 30)
How pretty is this Beet, Fennel + Apple Soup? It’s so freakin’ vibrant. I just love beets. I know people can be on the fence about them (“they taste like dirt”, “they’re too sweet”), but I could eat beets every single day for the rest of my life. I mean think about it: they can

Peach Jalapeno Cornbread
What?! Two recipes in one weekend?! I wasn’t planning on it, but then yesterday Allie said she had a craving for cornbread, so I ended up making this Peach Jalapeno Cornbread. I like to plan my blog recipes in advance, so that way I’m not panicked week to week with what I’m posting. But I

Sun-dried Tomato, Kale + Coconut Chicken Thighs
Happy long weekend! Mine has been extra long, thanks to a mild concussion. No cause for alarm: I hit my head during one of my workouts just a smidge too hard. But of course, being the clumsy lady that I am, I brushed it off as just a day in the life, and continued through

Fig + Cherry Maple Mascarpone Tart
Happy Sunday Morning, lovely humans. It’s a slow start in my house today. Last night we met up with a friend for drinks at a wine bar, where we shared some charcuterie and stayed up past midnight (which, sadly, if you know me, is quite unheard of). So today, I’m writing this with a big

Chocolate Maca Zucchini Muffins
Chocolate Maca Zucchini Muffins Holy moly. You need to eat these. Okay, true, I say this a lot. But I mean it a lot. And trust me, you will not regret making these. They are ooey-gooey chocolate-y goodness. I love baking with almond flour, because, when done right, you can’t even tell it’s gluten free. None of
