Let’s go way back. In high school I was in the French club 🤓. The only things I remember from French club was learning how to make crepes suzette and this trip to Paris. Both things I still love - cooking and traveling.
🛫
Did you go on a school trip in high school?
👟
Can we just talk about that outfit? Those slouchy socks 🤦🏾‍♀️. I wish I still had that jean jacket though.
👌🏽
I don’t even want to say how long ago this picture was taken. Here’s a hint: Taken on a camera with film. I had to bring the film back home, take it to the store and wait a few days for processing before I could see it.

Apple butter is one of my fridge staples in the Fall. It's an easy way to add the delicious apple flavour into smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt and so so so easy to make.
🍎
I had no idea what apple butter was until a few years ago. When I first heard someone talk about apple butter I honestly thought it was like an herb butter - apples + butter - and I wasn't interested. Then I went on a trip to a few local apple orchards with @ontarioapples a few years back and came home with SO MANY APPLES and I decided to experiment, because I can't truly say I don't like apple butter until I've tried it. And I love it.
🍏
I like to add cardamom to mine. That flavour is delicious! Sometimes, when I can find organic apples, I'll leave the peel on and just blend the whole thing up, which gives the apple butter a lovely pinkish hue.
🍎
I recently made a big batch of cardamom apple butter and used it to make a vegan, gluten-free apple loaf and apple-peanut butter fruit rollups. Let me know if you'd like me to share these recipes.

Here’s the thing about good friendships: schedules don’t often sync, lots of time may pass between get togethers, but the relationship brings joy and happiness. Simple. Quality over quantity.

See you next month @supafitmama !

Yoga, tacos and great company? 🙋🏽Yes, please!

Just about all my friends are down for a good 🌮, but few appreciate a good yin yoga session like this girl. I recently joined @nomadicnutritionist at @yogatreestudios on Spadina for a therapeutic hour of deep stretches and slow breathing in a calm, airy studio with sunlight and the sounds of King West seeping in.
.
A lot of people find #yinyoga too slow paced, but I like the contrast to all my high-intensity workouts. I appreciate the opportunity to quiet my mind during long holds (e.g. 3-5min.) of poses that create space in my hips and spine especially. It always feels amazing after and plays directly into my performance on the track. All the more reason for Hema and I to make Yin + #TacoTuesdays at @maizlatinfood a regular thing 😉

This cooler weather has me thinking of soup! Instead of using a store bought flavour base I made my own from dehydrated onion, garlic, celery leaves, tomato and carrots. I had a little bit of mushroom powder that also went into the mix. 🥕🍅 You can cook all the veggies before dehydrating but I wanted to keep it simple so I dehydrated them raw.

All veggies (except the tomatoes from my mother’s garden) are from @thestopcfc farmer’s market at @wychwoodbarnsto.

Three small beets harvested from my mother’s little garden. They were blended with coconut milk, half a frozen banana, frozen avocado, @genuinehealth fermented greens powder, and prebiotic powder for a delightfully bright smoothie. Yum!

I really wanted to get some peppers but they need a little more time. 👀
