This Light And Bright Buddha Bowl Recipe Wants You To Know That Spring Is Finally Here

This Light And Bright Buddha Bowl Recipe Wants You To Know That Spring Is Finally Here

March 22, 2020

Spring has officially sprung and while we cannot enjoy blooming flora due to full-time self-isolation (duh!!!), we can compensate by bringing spring-y bright colours to our plate bowl. It’s breaking news to no one that food in bowls has been trending for a while now. You can eat smoothies, burritos, and sushi and even soups 😯😯😯 in bowls now. It’s a pretty good trend, we think. Bowl food is easy—you can eat with one hand and text with the other—it looks great on Instagram, and it’s at least 10 percent healthier than food on a plate (don't quote us on this). Plus, why call it a salad when you can call it a Buddha bowl? 

Now what exactly is a Buddha bowl we asked out loud? 

“You are one with the universe,” the Buddha bowl cooed. “You have entered a state of bliss. You have ascended to the highest levels of human consciousness, and by the way, you look absolutely stunning today.” We sighed the sigh of the self-satisfied, boosted the saturation on the iPhone photo we just snapped, and dug in.

Okay, okay, okay, we totally made that part up. But whenever people utter these two words to describe deep-rimmed dishes overflowing with vibrant food, we wonder if that’s what's going on for them. So we rolled our sleeves and started looking for more info and this is what we found. The concept of the Buddha bowl is a favorite of yogis and health bloggers, particular those of the vegan persuasion. But what are they, exactly, apart from something we can’t stop seeing each time we scroll through our Instagram feed?

Love Is Cool But Our No Bake Flourless Chocolate Cake Will Never Ghost You

February 14, 2020

Another year, another Valentine’s Day. Whether you’re Charlie Browning it up at the empty mailbox or ordering in pizza with the person who worships your morning breath, this holiday either matters or it doesn’t to you. But... chocolate cake? ALWAYS MATTERS. This flourless chocolate cake has an ooey-gooey texture, somewhere between pudding and cake, between heaven and platinum heaven (you know that’s got to exist).

This Healthy (And Quick) Take on Linzer Cookies Is Here to Save the Holidays

This Healthy (And Quick) Take on Linzer Cookies Is Here to Save the Holidays

December 24, 2019

We made it. It’s December 24. Before we break out our January resolution pants, though, we’ve got some healthy and quick holiday cookies to squeeze in.

PSA: making linzer cookies isn't easy. They look and are extra. The shapes. The sandwich technique. The perfect dusting of powdered sugar. Who has time for that when you still need to decorate your Christmas tree which you haven’t bought yet, cook a five course Christmas dinner, wrap your Christmas presents that Amazon delivery guy should deliver today (fingers crossed) and keep your sanity while handling all this Christmas jazz.

Happy almost the end of December kids. 

We can’t believe it’s already time for the December playlist. Scratch that, we can’t believe that Christmas is happening tomorrow! It’s absolutely insane how fast the month — and year — has flown. Are you last minute Xmas cooking? Got all your last minute holiday shopping done? Like with last month’s playlist, here’s hoping this last minute mix of tunes will be a good one to have on in the background as you navigate the days ahead. We’ve included several low key songs this month (perfect for curling up with some cocoa by the fire), as well as plenty of upbeat tracks that’ll energize you to finish that last bit of gift wrapping and cookie making. And, no Christmas carols! (we hate to admit it, but we maxed out on them about a week after Thanksgiving. Total bah humbug, we know.)

GOT THANKSGIVING LEFTOVERS? LET'S MAKE SOME HERBED CASHEW CHEESE + CRANBERRY CROSTINI

November 30, 2019

Ah, Thanksgiving leftovers. What’s not to love!

It’s easy to figure out what to do with all the mashed potatoes and pie (eat it, duh) – but what about the extra can of cranberry sauce and all of those leftover herbs in your crisper drawer?

Make use of both in this recipe for this decadent Herbed Cashew Cheese and Cranberry Crostini. The best part? You can use either canned cranberry sauce or homemade/fresh, and you can mix and match the herbs you have leftover (we love the combination of fresh rosemary and thyme).

IF YOU AREN'T MAKING PUMPKIN SOUP IN OCTOBER, ARE YOU REALLY LIVING?

October 12, 2019

Fall means different things to different people. Some of us love the crunch of leaves underfoot; some savor a crisp autumn breeze; some want nothing more than a mug full of hot liquid spiked with seasonal flavours.

September 21, 2019

After shutting our business (including our website) on September 20 to participate in the Digital Climate Strike, we are back.

That’s why we’re calling upon other business leaders, and also our customers, to support the climate strike alongside The Sustainabiliteens here in Vancouver (learn about a strike near you here).
