Me being me - hiding in a sweater and tuque, holding food. Thank you for lunch @chewthroughthepain #colroulépourlavie #reinedestuques

Dressed like a rainbow to go to @elenamontreal because it’s the little things that make you happy. Probably the only person who doesn’t/can’t eat pizza/pasta there but still one of my favourites. I had to go support @chewthroughthepain since she now works there (basically just a good excuse to go). Still thinking about those beans...

Bonne fin de semaine!

I was spoiled by @stephanieizard and @hugegaldones last weekend. Forever thankful for the invite! I don’t know how they managed to make it through their whirlwind 24 hours because after the two stops I tagged along for, I was full! Dinner for 8 @maisonpublique and @vinpapillon on Saturday. Brunch with Huge @larrys.gram and an essential stop @alimentsviens on Sunday. Special thank you to @therealgrasso for the gluten free tartare (always a favourite) and those killer celiac-friendly brussel sprouts! #montreal #goatsgonorth

Snowy nights done right.

𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙔𝙚𝙖𝙧 I smiled brighter. I cried more. I laughed harder. I questioned myself. I opened up. I got crushed. I pushed beyond my comfort zone. I acquired new scars. I put myself first, for the first time. I took care of me, as well as I take care of others. I said what I needed to say, for me. I allowed myself to feel. I allowed myself to connect. I allowed myself to take risks. With every tear, every smile, every struggle, and every triumph, I changed. My self-confidence grew. My shyness, while still present, faded. My fear slowly melted away. This year was challenging. This year was empowering. This year, I am happy. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Written after a whirlwind weekend of thought-provoking conversations and amazing food with Huge. Thank you for my most social weekend in years! 📸: @hugegaldones

Never underestimate the power of a tuque. Lets you feel like you’re hiding when overwhelmed, provides a big confidence boost in moments of sadness or self-doubt, and warms you up.

When you think about okra starting at 10am, you make okra for dinner. Not just vegetarian, but unintentionally vegan! #vegetarianweekdays

Making nightly dinners can teach you more than how to cook. Just like any other commitment in life, it requires effort to keep. Just like the facade many of us present to the world, the dishes that may seem the most well thought-out were thrown together last minute from scraps in the fridge/freezer. Just like how it is best to approach others with respect and understanding, less complicated dishes that respect the ingredients are typically the best dishes. Just like how it is important to be patient with those you love, it can be beneficial to be patient in the kitchen - roasting bones before making a stock or slowly simmering the braise. Just like how ignoring situations or emotions can make them worse, ignoring the need to cook for yourself will only make you hungry and can lead to regret-filled takeout orders. Just like how sometimes a plan comes together and sometimes it crumbles apart, there are many failures and successes in the kitchen - baking projects fail or you forget an ingredient, but you can also surprise yourself by how delicious the dish you made is. Cooking for yourself teaches you that you can take care of yourself no matter what. That you can adapt if you need to. That you are capable.
