I’m not sure why exactly, but I’ve always had high expectations of breakfast. Maybe because it’s the introductory meal of the day and can sometimes set the tone for the rest of the morning. For example, start by eating something that your bored with and that mood will likely continue. I find breakfast foods are…

Fruity Couscous Cake
I haven’t felt much like cooking lately. The amount of time spent indoors over the last few months has gradually eaten away at my motivation and productivity, that and it’s also not fun to have an oven on for a long time when it’s 30 degrees out. I’ve been pretty content in the last couple…
Strawberry Waffles with Pear Compote
Well, how many weeks of lockdown has it been? I’ve completely lost track. The first chunk seemed to go by fairly quickly and April…what happened to April? We’re already in May, but I’ve noticed that, as this isolation drags on, the days are now passing more slowly, sometimes painfully so. I definitely felt as though…
Peanut Butter and Apple Oatmeal Bake
Being housebound for the past two weeks has been an interesting experience. I’m trying to approach it as an opportunity, having been given an unprecedented amount of time at home to dedicate to my own pursuits. At times it’s been pretty tough, but as I settle more into this self-isolation thing, I think I’m learning…
Cheezy Scrambled Benedict
Breakfast is such a rushed affair for me these days, and with so little time in the mornings to dedicate to this most pivotal meal, I generally prefer to keep it simpler.

Kupfert and…

Pumpkin Pancakes with Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread and Baked Cinnamon Apples
What is it about pumpkin that makes it such an appealing and popular food for autumn consumption? There’s certainly no comparable aroma to that of pumpkin cooking. It’s a rich, warm scent that evokes comfort, compels hibernation and reminds us fondly of cozy days inside, watching the leaves crisp and fade in the cold. Pumpkin…
Unchicken and Cinnamon Matcha Waffles
When, why and how breakfast became such a breeding ground for decadent comfort food remains unclear. Maybe the trend started as a way of easing us into rough mornings, or maybe the sugary cereals and Mcmuffins of our childhood wettened our appetite for early day indulgences. Either way, I’m definitely okay with partaking in some occasional…
Recovery, Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie Bowl
The saturation of smoothies and smoothie bowl images on my Instagram feed has had me sometimes feeling a little jaded about that delicious but redundant fruit and veggie blends. But after several weeks of frequent poor eating and too much overindulgence, my body was ready for a healthy infusion. There is a reason that smoothies…
