The Royal Ontario Museum

We went to the Royal Ontario Museum a few months ago and these are some of the pictures that I was able to take. It was definitely an exhausting day but of course it was fun!

At Home

These are just some photos of my adorable little family. Also a shot of my bedroom window which is just gorgeous in the morning.

Random Food Photos

I've had these photos on my computer for a while so I thought it would be a good idea to update this blog and show some of them to you! As you can tell I really enjoy food, and photographing food, and thinking about food. Just food. Do I really have to say anything else? I didn't think so.

French Toast

Mmm I love french toast. It's so easy to make and it tastes amazing.

Lazy

I love lazy days. Days where I can make myself a nice breakfast and relax with my cat. I think the world would be a better place if more people took a day off.

Spring Has Sprung

 
Slowly but surely Spring is coming and I'm sooo ready for it. I bought these tulips at Whole Foods the other day and they've been opening up nicely. I live above a park and I can hear kids playing and laughing so I guess it's not too cold outside! Apparently there is supposed to be a snow storm tomorrow but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it won't happen. I just want it to be warm! I can't wait for shorts and flats weather. I've been stuck inside the warm apartment for far too long.

Top 10 Favourite Pinterest Posts of the Week

I spend WAY too much time on Pinterest, so I decided to post what my favourite pictures from this week were. Hope you enjoy!

Vegan Cinnamon Sugar Bread Pudding

I've never really loved bread pudding. Something about the egg flavour of it that just doesn't appeal to me, even though I love eggs. Weird. So I thought I'd try to make a vegan one. I was skeptical that it wouldn't get custardy (is that a word?) enough but it turned out to be the best bread pudding I've ever tried! Seriously, go make this! You don't have to put the cinnamon sugar topping on, you could try a number of things. Such as fresh fruit, chocolate, peanut butter, maple syrup. Honestly, whatever you have in your kitchen.

Bread Pudding:

• 6 cups 1 inch cubed day old bread
• 1 cup almond milk
• 3 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 cup canned coconut milk
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp lemon juice or white vinegar
• 1 tsp pure vanilla
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 2 Tbsp. canola or refined coconut oil, melted

Glaze:

• 1 cup icing sugar
• 1 tbsp almond milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1 tbsp melted refined coconut oil, or canola oil

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a baking pan. 

Place the cubed bread in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk with the cornstarch to dissolve. Mix in the coconut milk, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and cinnamon. Pour over the cubed bread and stir to coat. Let sit for at least 15 minutes to let the liquid soak into the bread. 

Mix together the Cinnamon Sugar Topping and sprinkle on top of bread. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the top is lightly browned and feels firm to the touch. Serve warm with glaze drizzled on top. 

Glaze: Sift the icing sugar into a bowl. Add the almond milk, vanilla, and oil. Stir until smooth. 

Earl Grey

I love tea. Don't get me wrong, coffee is great. I actually really love coffee, but I don't drink it every day. My body is very sensitive to caffeine and I prefer to save coffee as a treat, maybe once a week. But tea, oh boy, watch out. I drink multiple cups of tea a day. The thing I love so much about tea is that there are so many unique flavours, I couldn't possibly try them all. It's like a challenge, one that I very much am willing to accept. The day just doesn't feel right without my tea. The tea in the photos is good old Earl Grey with a bit of milk. Doesn't get any better than something this simple!

Tell me in the comments what your favourite kind of tea is, and do you prefer tea or coffee?

Pesto and Eggs Breakfast

 

My favourite part of the day is breakfast. I get pretty grumpy if I can't a have a really nice breakfast. It's just the perfect meal, I mean when else can I eat chocolate croissants and drink hot cocoa with whipped cream and call it a meal? I guess technically I could do that whenever, but no one bats an eye if I said it was for breakfast. Obviously I love the savoury side of breakfast as well, and I'm planning on posting a lot more breakfast photos here in the coming weeks. So stick around!

To Lemon, or not to Lemon

That is the question. I know that this is really cheesy but I'm starting my photography journey and I want to share with you! I'll be back soon with more.
