I’ve had two great meals in honor of my birthday this year, on Sunday I took myself out for a four course meal at Vegetarian Haven, and on Monday, someone was kind enough to take me to the new Loving Hut (on Spadina & Richmond). Both places were great! Vegetarian...

This year was different than Christmases past, I was not with my family in Edmonton like I normally am this time of year. The trip home was too expensive, sadly a trip from Toronto to England was cheaper than a trip home, so I’m delaying my visit to Edmonton until...

Another great weekend in Toronto! So great that it took me until Wednesday to talk about it! Friends had a Winter Soup Party (which I think is an awesome idea, and more inclusive than a lot of other events happening around this time of year.) It was such a fun...

I’ve been hobbling around for the last week with some vicious back pain, and I asked for advice on twitter. Well, one of the suggestions was to eat more raw food, so I figured… what better time to visit Raw Aura? And I was right*. Though now that I’ve been...

Oh it’s been a great few weeks. I spent a few evenings baking up a storm in the kitchen for a Winter Cookie Exchange. First cookies I made were basically a cookie disaster. All I had was Becel vegan margarine and as many people know, it’s really not that great...

Once upon a time I lived in Saskatoon, SK so I’m ending MoFo where I began writing this blog. Parts of me hated living there (the parts that don’t like to be cold) and parts of me loved it (the parts of me that loved finding fun stuff to do...

A couple of my favourite people are in Victoria, British Columbia (on Vancouver Island) on a short visit, and since I had spent a few months at UVic last summer, they asked me for suggestions for vegan places to go eat while they are there. I haven’t really decided what my favourite...

I missed writing in here. I missed you blog. And I missed YOU, whoever you are. Last week was a busy week, as indicated by my absence. My food choices were atrocious and I don’t even want to talk about it (though I can tell you I relied heavily on...

I haven’t been to Montreal in a few years, but I spent a month or so there in the summer of 2008 and remember it fondly. Had I not been in university at the time, I would have moved there. It had a vibrant nightlife and cultural community, the food...
