Walking the fine line between smart and ass.
It’s during tragedy that we must let the light shine its brightest. Happy Hanukkah to all.

Tonight’s hefty Crunch Wrap Superior.

Recipe from 𝘊𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘝𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘯 by Sam Turnbull. This time, I replaced the walnut & sun-dried tomato mix with Beyond ground, keeping all of the spices the same. 👩‍🍳💋

Dropped in to Lemon & Lavender to snag a few stocking stuffers. The squishy Cool Cats are super cute, especially the winky one, but I adore the Peek-A-Boo Astronaut popping out of a moon. We all need something fun to squeeze when that Teams call goes awry….

Last night’s Creamy Sweet Potato & Lentil Stew, for which I have written on the recipe, “Ridiculously Good Soup!” Because it is.

Recipe from Esther’s Kitchen.

Happy #SantaLuciaDay! It’s traditional to have cardamom buns, but I made our usual #vegan bacon, cheddar & egg sandwiches with vegan croissants from Gigli Caffe up the street. It’s also traditional to wear a crown of live candles on your head, so I’m okay with breaking tradition.

Thank you, Caribou Gifts, for having this terrific little origami kit, going to our youngest niece. I bet I’ll end up making a few animals with her when we see them. ❤️

Look, the wildlife is at our doorstep every day—we may as well invite them in for mulled wine at this point.

If only it would snow these. Seemed like the perfect day to pick up two Mad Batter Bakers’ snowflake cookies from Grumpy Gourmet, going to our two youngest nieces. Our teenage son immediately ate the Santa one I got him. ❄️

Cheers, all! First mulled wine of the season, a perfect accompaniment to snow.

Most important meal of the day.

Our friendly, neighbourhood Cooper’s hawk with—based on the feathers that have landed on the deck—what probably used to be either a mourning dove or a dark-eyed junco. Circle of life, people.

With thanks to Weird Al.

Got some of these #FlowMovie gingerbread cookies from the Letts Shop when I went to pick up a bunch of Estonian chocolates for my Mom. So cute. And I hear that the cookies taste amazing. I’m saving ours for a stocking.

The artwork’s farm-to-table theme perfectly complements The Sweet Potato’s focus on local & Ontario products. This time, I popped in to nab ChocoSol’s vegan Christmas bars.

We’ll do our usual walkabout to see the rest soon! (2/2)

You had me at dancing cats! Okay, just #cats.

The #TorontoJunction 6th Annual Window Wonderland is on, and I got to enjoy “A Recipe for Love” on my way into The Sweet Potato yesterday. (1/2)

Last night’s Irish White Bean & Cabbage Stew, so easy to make (quite literally chop everything up, throw it in the pot, simmer) and so tasty. We have it with soft, buttered dinner rolls to scoop up every last bit.

Recipe from #ForksOverKnives.

Just a simple Sunday breakfast of oatmeal with berries and a drizzle of maple syrup after a hectic week.

What a fantastic sticker book for one of our nieces from #BookCity in #BloorWestVillage! In addition to stickers & backgrounds, this one has intricate colouring pages, matching games, mazes, quizzes … I mean, I kind of want one myself.
