In the summers, because my dad was a high school teacher and had summers off, we would pack up and leave the city for two whole months, living in a cottage behind my grandparent’s house on the Sunshine Coast. Each and every Sunday morning my grandparents would host a pancake breakfast that was always attended [...]

My friend Lindsay taught me how to run. I mean, I was always physically capable, I think, but I had viewed running mostly as something that was necessary only when being chased. Or something conceived by my high school gym teachers, who would torture us by seeing how many times we could run around the [...]

We’re well into the final push with school; there are four weeks of classes remaining in the term, and then exams. As luck would have it, my last exam for my last semester is scheduled on the last day of the exam period. Typical. My sister-in-law, Cammy, is also finishing up her degree this term, [...]

Last Thursday marked the end of two weeks of total insanity and the beginning of a weeks break from school. I went pretty much straight from a midterm to the airport and made the trek to Sweden to spend my week off with my fella. Stockholm greeted me with a pile of snow and freezing [...]

Well, hello December. Did anyone else blink and practically miss November fly by, quick and cold? November was interesting in Sweden; I’ve found the darkness really disorienting – as did I the nearly endless light in the summer months, but that was disorienting in a much more enchanting way than the wall of darkness now [...]

By all accounts the weather in Vancouver has been pretty dang cold lately, some days posting temperatures even colder than those here in Stockholm. Lets not even talk about the insanely low temperatures some of my favourite people are experiencing in Calgary and Saskatoon. Anyone need comfort food? Rice pudding is one of my go-to [...]

A little while ago I had a conversation with someone who told me they had decided to give up eating refined sugar. If you’re not eating refined sugar it very likely means you’re sourcing your food naturally, and that is always a good thing. We have a bit of a situation over here with bulk [...]

I secretly challenged myself to posting only pumpkin recipes for the entire month of October. Pretty cliche, I know, but I’ve had fun with it and I hope you have too. For those of you who now have (or plan to soon have) a freezer full of pumpkin puree, fear not, I’ll continue to post recipes that will [...]

Earlier today, I read a statistic that 99% of pumpkins marketed domestically are sold as jack-o-lanterns. A little bit later, I went for a walk and noticed that a florist in my neighbourhood was selling pumpkins and various other sorts of winter squash, marketed as decorations, and at an outrageous price to boot. I had [...]
