sunday mornings.


Breakfast time is my favorite time of the day. Everything tastes amazing in the morning and I know that I have the whole day to work it off! I'm always conflicted as to if I should eat a large or small breakfast.
Personally, I prefer a light breakfast- like a smoothie or fruits. Whenever I eat too much, I get sleepy for the rest of the morning!

Although I try to avoid big breakfast, I went to Cora's. They have amazing, ENORMOUS breakfasts.

Bacon, bacon, bacon!


Fresh whipped cream, fruits and a Belgian Waffle.

The portions were huge but I still enjoyed it.

On a normal day this is the kind of breakfasts I would have- grilled cheese sandwich with sunny side up egg and chicken bacon, with a side of strawberry soy milk.


Let us know what you think, do you prefer a light or heavy breakfast?

baby, it's cold outside.

Canadian weather is temperamental. It's only November and we've already had our first blizzard! I finally have to accept that summer is over and it's time to bring out the boots, hot chocolate and shovels.

I've been eating a lot more soups too now that the weather is colder. It's one of the easiest, healthiest dishes students can throw together quickly between classes. That's exactly what Sophie and I did.

Here's how she made hers:
  1. boil vegetables until soft (potatoes are highly recommended- they add so much flavour and a great texture!)
  2. blend the heck out of them
  3. put it back in a pot (thin out soup with desired amount of liquid)
  4. optional: add cream or milk to make it taste extra creamy!

For decoration:
  • it's recommended to use 35% cream; I tried to use whipping cream, but it didn't turn out as nice.
  • I also like to add garlic Naan Bread as side.You could definitely be creative with the side dish, sandwich, toast, anything could go well with soup.



carrots, celery, potato, and all vegetables in my fridge




I'm a little lazier with my method.
  1. throw kabucha pumpkin, frozen spinach, garlic powder, salt and pepper to boiling water
  2. wait till the water is boiled (15-20 minutes?)
  3. eat!






Some disadvantages of soup? You get hungry pretty quickly. What's a girl to do?



Eat then repeat.
