Hi there, Reader Meet my brand new Vegan Pumpkin Scones. They have a tender, gloriously orange crumb, plenty of pumpkin spice flavour, and an over-the-top splatter of pumpkin glaze. Not much of a sweet tooth? The scones themselves aren't too sweet, so skip the glaze and slather them with vegan butter instead. Either way, they pair very well with a PSL! 😜 While I was photographing and videoing this recipe, one of the scones mysteriously disappeared. You might notice there's one missing in my...

If you’ve got a can of...

I can't be the only one who always cooks too much! Well, if you do, save it in the fridge until the next day, grab your sprouts and a few pantry staples, and you're good to go. This recipe is...

Hi there, Reader If my analytics are serving me correctly, you should only be receiving this if you live in Canada. I'm sure it's not foolproof though, so apologies if you live elsewhere, and feel free to file this away for future festivities! And now onto the subject at hand - I can hardly believe it's Thanksgiving next week! As usual, it's crept up on me out of nowhere, and I'm feeling a mild sense of panic. Last year I made my fave combo of vegan ham, mashed potato casserole, caramelized...

Hi there, Reader This hug in a bowl is the perfect way to kick off fall soup season! It's easy to make, budget-friendly, seriously comforting, and has been my most popular soup recipe since 2019 (I've included some glowing reader reviews below the pic). It's also a personal favourite. I make it all the time during soup season and love to switch up the toppings. Pictured on top of this bowl is smoky tempeh bacon (I think it was the Lightlife brand), little cubes of crispy roast potato, and...

Hi there, Reader Wait...What? It can't possibly be October in a few days! Where has the summer gone? We (doggos and all) just got back from a lovely, peaceful vacation on Pender Island. Chester and his amazing shadow on Pender Island! For such a tiny island, it was incredibly vegan-friendly. The highlight for me was an honesty cheesecake fridge with delicious vegan cheesecake! I could say I only visited once or twice, but I'd be lying. I ended up there most days! And now I'm back; we've...
