Chick’n Bouillon (& Noodle Soup)
Broths are an important ingredient in flavourful cooking. I personally prefer using bouillon powder for broths instead of buying cartons or batch making to freeze. It's simpler to use on an as-needed basis - just add water! As someone who was not raised vegan, giving up the classic chicken noodle soup was a tough one.… Continue reading Chick’n Bouillon (& Noodle Soup)

They are a whole grain higher in plant-based protein yet full of fiber and energy-giving carbohydrates. Paired with peanut (or other nut/seed) butter, these pancakes provide a beautifully balanced… Continue reading Blender Oatcakes

I throw on some fuzzy socks, an oversized hoodie, and curl up in a blanket to get cozy. Which leads me to… Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Latte
