If you are outside of Quebec, Poutine might not rhyme with delicious, yet caloric, potatoes and gravy. And cheese. Yes. As a vegan, I was very disappointed to say goodbye to poutine. That is until I heard about Poutineville during Montreal’s poutine week. You see, unlike most poutine places, this restaurant gives you a pre-madeContinue reading “Poutineville, a restaurant review”

Corn Bread!
Corn bread has one of my favourite flavours: rich and corny I find it perfect with a warm cup of tea. It is also so ridiculously easy to make.

Christmas Menu: The Soup
We have now arrived to the most exiting part of the Christmas series: The food!

Delicata Squash Spaguetti sauce
Hello everyone! Another week, another delicata squash recipe! This is one of my very own completely invented recipes.

ThisContinue reading “Delicata Squash Curry”
