Easiest Pasta Primavera

Pasta is one of the easiest things to cook, and it is so versatile! I love improvising my pastas primavera with any and every vegetable I can find in my fridge. For the one below I washed, cut, and stir fried some snow peas, carrots, celery, mushrooms, red peppers, and onions, and then added them to my cooked pasta with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper! Done!

Ten Ways to Good Health

Found the best advise in this cup of tea!

Toronto IDS 2015

After a long weekend at the Toronto Interior Design Show I came home exhausted but also exhilarated and excited, my mind full of new ideas. Beautiful and modern kitchens and bathrooms occupied a lot of the booths, as well as intricately designed furniture. Gorgeous tiles and hardwood floors in every shape and colour also made an appearance, and wood played a star role in decorative items and furniture. Here are just a few of all the creative things that made this event a success:

1. The booth of Netthaus Design-Build (www.netthaus.com) wowed with it's splash of black and gold. 

2. This colourful installation welcomed its guests into the show, already preparing them for a day of design.

3. As a Dr. Who fan, I couldn't resist getting this Allons-y print from Lint and Honey (www.lintandhoney.com), a home decor firm that specializes in chic pillows and prints.

Exploring Reykjavik

My fiance and I decided to take a short pre-honeymoon to Iceland for a week back in April. Reykjavik is a beautiful city filled with colourful houses, sea side views, and kind people. We found the cutest café with vegan food (yummy chili and carrot cake for dessert), which made our first day even more special.  Below are some Instagram photos from our first day, but I'll be sure to post some more!

Niagara Falls

These are just some beautiful photos I took last summer when visiting Niagara Falls. We had a gorgeous day, and I managed to take some great shots, especially just before sunset, of course!

Avocado Blackberry Salad

This was my super delicious vegan and healthy lunch today, which I made in 5 minutes, literally. To make it, just make a baby aurugula base (which you can replace with baby spinach, lettuce, mixed greens, etc), add 1 yummy sliced avocado, 1 sliced mini cucumber, and blackberries, almonds, and toasted sunflower seeds to your taste. Finish with your favourite dressing, I used a raspberry infused vinagre, and you're done. Enjoy!
