{mini romanesco}
24 Feb
those of you have been following me for a while {thank you, and welcome to the newcomers!} know that i am obsessed with romanesco. and clearly, i’m also obsessed with “baby” foods… as in, super tiny versions of amazing fruits and veggies.
well, you can imagine my excitement when i saw BABY ROMANESCO at my local grocery store!!?!? i will say, it is not at all organic and it is not at all in season… however, it is still magical!!!
…right?!?!
also, how adorable is my cute cutting board?! 😀
i hope i can find a way to grow these myself some day soon… i would love to find a way to become or marry a farmer… seems like the most appropriate lifestyle for me.
😉 ❤
{a lovely walk around the lake}
18 Feb
once upon a time in february it was 70 degrees, and I walked around a lake in a t-shirt…
along the way, i spotted lots of beautiful and interesting things… like naked trees and cracks in the earth…
like, crazy amounts of cracks… like the earth is erupting from below!..
along the way, i also spotted crazy amounts of geese… walking around, and walking on ice…
and speaking of ice, i spotted parts of the lake that were still frozen and parts that were melting…
it was a lovely site… the wind blew crazy in my face and yet the sun on my face kept me crazy warm…
the clouds were very interesting… and this picture looks like an alien ship about to land!…
cat tails… everywhere!!!
shout out to the east coast… and to interesting angles!…
…
art… is… everywhere…
once upon a time, i saw interesting patterns in the ice… and in my shadow…
and in the geese’s {is that right?!} foot prints…
and then… one of the geese flapped his wings… and a ton of birds flew by…

{my furry valentine}
14 Feblike most pet-owners, i’m a little obsessed… and i’m pretty much in love with my cat. ❤
i mean, how can i not be – look at how cute my callee kitty is!!!!
i love it when she stands like this or when she looks at me like that…
and i love her crazy long whiskers and when her ears go back like this…
she’s mildly playful, and also easily annoyed when her claws get stuck in things…
and it’s fun when you scroll through film and find pics like these! 😀
i’m just in love with my cat! ❤
{meatless monday : whole grain couscous with fresno and mini bell peppers}
8 Feb
i haven’t written a meatless monday recipe in a while. i came up with this one by accident.
i love love LOVE fresno peppers. they are so full of flavour and yet mild enough in heat to not overpower most dishes. i also love couscous; it’s simple and easy to make and reheats well, so i will often batch-cook it.
i shared this dish some with a friend this weekend over brunch and she commented on how much she liked it, so i thought i would share the recipe. as i said, i sort of came up with this on accident… but i’m glad i did, as i’ll be sure to make it again in the future!
simple ingredients :
- 1 cup couscous, 1 cup water
- 3 fresno peppers, chopped
- 5-6 mini bell peppers, chopped
- olive oil
- S&P
this is a very easy recipe to make. simply saute peppers in olive oil until tender then pour in water. bring to a boil and add in couscous. remove from heat, cover and let sit for at least 5 minutes. fluff couscous with a fork and sprinkle in salt and pepper.
i also added in some cumin because i’ve been experimenting with spices… and i really liked it in this dish!
{the intricate, cool, and colourful cabbage}
3 Feb
i am truly fascinated by nature. nothing makes me feel more connected than LIFE itself… you know, the being alive part, not the stuff we fill our lives with. food gives me a feeling that is unlike anything else. when i chop up vegetables, i stand in awe for a minute and marvel at what is before me. i am taken aback every single time i cut a cabbage in half. it blows my mind… i always find myself thinking, “BUT WHY?! why do you grow like that?!” …not to mention that stunning colour!
it truly does amaze me that nature has such intricacies about it. romanesco is one of the biggest food wonders, in my opinion. cabbage is a close second. i am also fascinated by swiss chard. sometimes i look at food and think about how similar it is to us, to humans… so many details going on inside and out. my hope is that we can all try to be a little more like food, like nature. be more of the BEING and not just the human.
i digress.
i hope you enjoy these fotos i took while feeling inspired by this cool, intricate cabbage.
when i flipped it upside down, i thought it kind of represented a face. 😉
are you fascinated by nature?!
{nature’s paintbrush : rainbow swiss chard}
22 Jan
don’t you just love “baby” foods!?!?
i love swiss chard for so many reasons! not only is it good for you and high in vitamins like A and C, but it has a mild flavour and is great either raw or cooked. i adore all the colours – they are why i like to call swiss chard “nature’s paintbrush.” 🙂
{eat the rainbow!}
9 Jan
happy new year, friends!
in honour of resolutions and commitments to a healthier life and all that jazz… and just because i truly believe in this lifestyle, i want to present a gentle reminder – don’t forget to “eat the rainbow!” as in : plenty of colourful foods, including lots of fruits and vegetables!
some things i’ve been enjoying lately:
– baked purple sweet potato
– roasted cabbage w/ bacon bits
– kaniwa w/ sautéed garlic and onion
– slow-cooked smoked ham and green beans

{thirsty thursday : “not your father’s rootbeer”}
10 Dec
alcoholic rootbeer.
when i first discovered this, i wasn’t exactly excited. it sounded a little weird to me. but oh my goodness is this stuff good! it’s kind of a trend right now, i guess. i’ve tried a few brands, but this one is my favourite by far. it’s amazing how much it tastes just like rootbeer!!! the label recommended pouring it over ice… which, again, sounded odd to me but i tried it anyway. and it’s very good!
however, it’s also very very sweet and has a ton of sugar in it, so i only drink one on occasion for fun. and i highly recommend you do, as well!
