Fall Foliage at the Park
The minute the month of October ended, my feed and surroundings were saturated with Christmas and winter content that I was mentally and emotionally not yet ready for. My heart was still in Fall mode. In Toronto, the golden leaves were still rustling beneath my feet, and the season’s harvest was still sitting in our…

Cozy Charcuterie Board
One of the perks of living in the city is being walking distance from major event venues, which has been so nice to return to with everything reopening again this year. In our neighbourhood, The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair was happening this season, and we decided to check it out. This year’s fair was the…

Sunrises in Muskoka
I’ve been lucky to spend some pretty memorable times in Muskoka this past year, and it just so happens that I’ve always gone up there during the change of seasons. I mark my moments up there as a symbolic place in time when the physical changes in nature was matching the changes and shifts I…

Bittersweet Farewell to October
The Fall season has been pretty extraordinary this year. So much so that I want to savour it in this blog post, especially since it’s been snowing and already below zero cold since Monday.

A Love Story in Montreal
They say that you learn a lot about someone when you travel with them, and that couldn’t be more true. Montreal represents a special milestone in our story, and not just because we are poutine enthusiasts or because I’m a proud Francophone. Montreal was the first trip we took together, and that trip was the…

Pumpkin Bread with Salted Maple Butter
Like many, there are certain baked-goods that are my “go-to’s” for a select Holiday or season. My lavender cookies are my staple for Spring, my gingerbread cookies are my Christmas must-haves, and my strawberry cupcakes are…well, let’s be real, that can be enjoyed anytime of the year. Truthfully, any baked-good can be enjoyed at any time…

Apple Crumble
I recently posted an apple crumble in-the-making in my Stories, and didn’t think much of it until I received DM replies asking for a recipe. The people have spoken, so here I am, giving the people what they rightfully deserve. A warm, comforting, tasty apple crumble they can whip up at home on a Sunday…
