Earl Rowe, Fry Trucks, & Getting Outside

A recent weekend was spent at Earl Rowe Provincial Park – which also just happens to have a pretty decent fry truck nearby, so we took care of a few things we like to do on the weekend at once. Parks, Fry Trucks, and road trips. We’ve visited Earl Rowe...

DWS Box August 26 – Some pictures and Recipes

Every week, one of the highlights is the dismantling white supremacy box we get from FoodShare Toronto. This week’s box was full of really delicious things, including more perilla leaves, red garden egg, and sharp purple radishes. I like this box, because the greens are always the freshest you can...

Weekend Wanders – Evergreen & Waldorf

Recipes for this weeks FoodShare’s DWS box.

When I posted about this box to twitter last week, it seemed to make some people upset. I don’t know if it’s the name that triggered their ire, but they complained about the price of this box and shared my post so that I could get a bunch of angry...

Gia Toronto – First Tastes

It feels like it’s been a while since we’ve been excited about a new Toronto vegan friendly spot, and I just want to bottle this feeling up and share it with all of you. Gia is the new “plant-forward” incarnation of the restaurant formerly known as Ufficio. A short walk...

FoodShare Dismantling White Supremacy Box

We have been big fans of FoodShare‘s work for years, and the programs and initiatives they do in the city. As soon as they started offering a home delivery veggie box via the GoodFoodBox a few years ago, we started ordering one. The Dismantling White Supremacy box was formerly known...
