I’ve been so busy lately, having little to no time for myself, that I almost forgot how much I loved creating dishes that require a long cooking process. On Thanksgiving day I found myself making Pierogis from scratch, a dish that I always found to be comforting, and something I always wanted to attempt to make. I love the way in which Pierogis are simple, uncomplicated in the way it’s pretty much potato, cheese and dough, but so delicious (especially fried in bacon!). Even though I’ve been busy, I still make it a point to live slowly, avoid multitasking and to never be in a rush. Three thing ..read more

I’ve been incorporating a lot of plant based meals into my diet lately, from tempeh, tofu, beans, and even Beyond Meat. I love that there are so many options now, and it seems like more people are willing to try these yummy plant proteins! Personally, I love that I get my protein fix, and also don’t feel too heavy after eating a meal. Which is why I was so excited when I got invited to Mythology (formerly Mythology Diner) on Queen West, a Vegan spot from the team behind Vegandale. First impressions of the renovated space is that it’s modern, but also really cozy and intimate. I liked the ..read more

Ah wings, one of my all-time favourite things to eat during the summer! There’s just something about enjoying some delicious, tasty wings with a cold drink while you sit out in the scorching sun.

Naked Pub Style Wings or Dressed Wings? Cast your vot ..read more

Every day I am constantly so amazed at the beauty of this wonderful, strange and magnificent world that we live in. I always make it a point to look out from my 19th floor condo balcony, where I can gaze for a long time at the vast sky, with clouds that seem to endlessly stretch across it, and to the buildings and houses below me and beyond. It makes me feel so small… such a tiny part of this massive world! And it also reminds me of how everything – how life – has it’s rhythm: the cycle of seasons, of change, arriving, departing, coming to life and fading away. And still, the world keeps turn ..read more

Ahh…! Spring has finally arrived here in Toronto, and we’ve thankfully gotten over the cold, harsh winter. The blinding sun’s out most days, the grass a vibrant green, beautifully dotted with yellow flowers (weeds?), and the sky a light blue, making me feel so alive! It’s in these quiet moments that I always remember to be grateful, to hold on to these moments of happiness, and to make sure that I spread only good, positive vibes to everyone around me. It was a beautiful partly cloudy day last Wednesday too, despite getting caught in a torrential downpour of rain in Yorkville. I was very luck ..read more
