Damn, I love dumplings! 🥟Here are a few photos of my recent homework with @foodfutureinstitute. Which dumpling photos looks better? 1 or 2? I'd love your input!

I also share a couple more shots of our recent lessons 👇🏾
• Vegetable Terrine
• Crab cakes
• My midterm: Yellow beet "carpaccio" with tofu ricotta and avocado cream.

Today trapped in the house again, I put on makeup

Today trapped in the house again, I put on makeup and @thisilk statement earrings in an attempt to feel glamorous. I felt hot for half a sec until my toddler spilled my turmeric latte ALL OVER our white kitchen cupboards and took a MONSTER DUMP in the tub. Life ain't what it used to be. 🧽🧽🧽

Tips for removing turmeric & beet stains from cupboards and counters welcome! 👇🏾🤷🏽‍♀️

Bacon-wrapped scallops 🥓 🌱 were the inspiration for this elegant and delicious plantbased dish.

Eggplant “bacon” wrapped around marinated king oysters with a bright mint-cilantro pea purée and homemade garlic-chilly oil.

Definitely blog-worthy 👌🏾

If you want the recipe, let’s see those hands-up 🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️ in the comments so I can get motivated to write it all down.

Love bébé’s little library. 📚 💕I buy almost nothing new except for books by local authors and illustrators like @elise_gravel, @esigaittuq_c.kalluk @cecile.gariepy, @julie__flett.

I love the look of compost- friendly brown paper wrapping but it may be a little drab for kids. 🎁 🎄 Colouring our paper was a super fun family activity for a personal touch on a Christmas gift.

♻️ I’d probably stick to recycling the paper rather than composting after it’s been coloured.

✨Reusable cloth wrapping paper is an even greener option but we’re still slowly working our way through a huge roll of brown paper. It’s also more fun for kids to rip stuff up.

💝 I also hang on to all ribbons after we finish unwrapping to keep for the next year. I have a small supply of ribbons that i reused many time. Tie them in a bow over a knot so they keep for longer.

Today we lost a member of the fam. 14 years is not

Today we lost a member of the fam. 14 years is not nothing. Rupert the cat, Pewpurt, or Rupert Giles was named after the librarian on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I was going through a pretty heavy Buffy phase when I adopted him. He was my companion through university, five apartments, marriage, pregnancy and baby.

He was the friendliest cat who charmed everyone with instant cuddles. He also liked to stick his butt in your face. He had his quirks.

For the first time in over 24 years, I won't have a cat box to clean. Silver lining?

The saddest part for me is knowing my daughter is too young to remember her furry companion. He was so good to her despite the fact that she was super jealous of him and sometimes roughed him up. He would go in her room for cuddles at night and she'd wake up saying, "chat, chat!"

I brush off the thought of ever getting another cat because he really is irreplaceable. My husband has pet allergies and when we moved in together, I was so worried that Rupert would be a total nuisance to him. My partner is not really a pet guy but Rupert won him over and hard.

Bye Rup, we will miss you.

Ever make Romesco? 😋 I highly recommend this delicious roasted vegetable and almond sauce which is super versatile and flavourful. Just another example of the beautiful dishes you can make with nuts.

🍝 I used my leftovers romesco for this easy pasta dish which includes some garlic, white beans, kale and roasted eggplant. I finish it with a sprinkle of parsley, almonds, pumpkin seed parm and chilli, yum!

This meal is also entirely #zerowaste. I picked up the nuts and pasta in bulk at @vracetbocaux and the veggies were package-free at the grocery store.

I feel like potatoes have a bad rap, but I love 'em. 🥔💞 Did you know that potatoes are loaded with nutrients and are considered a healthy gut food? They contain resistant starches that are sort of like a superfood for your digestive system. Just google it.

My potato love goes way back. My very first cookbook was a none other than a potato cookbook with over 250 ways to make taters. Few vegetarian options were available when I transitioned my diet back in 2001. I'd often just order a giant plate of french fries, and even though it wasn't a very balanced diet, I loved it. Well, I eat a much healthier diet now but still love french fries in moderation. They are my ultimate comfort food, and I've found ways to make them healthier by baking or air frying.

But I also love potatoes in bread, pasta, roasted and hashed. That's why I adored module 7 of the @foodfutureinstitute's foundations course.

It was a lot of fun to explore all the ways to elevate the humble potato.

Dishes include:
1 - Potato bread with avocado tikka (cashew yoghurt)
2 - Gnocchi with red wine and mushroom sauce
3 - Potato pot pie (holy comfort food indeed!)
4 - Potato pave with I posted earlier
5- Potato rosti (not pictures)
