When In Wine Country: An Okanagan Guide to Vegan Wines

August 29, 2020 by Izabela

If you've ever visited the Okanagan, you'll know that wine touring is one of the top tourist activities to partake in here. The views are beautiful, the wines are delicious and usually the company is lovely too, LOL. Did you know that the wine you love may not be vegan? Or better yet, did you know that wine isn't always vegan? I know, crazy right?! It all comes down to the fining agents used in the preparation of the wine. Some wineries use isinglass (fish bladder) or egg albumin (egg white) as fining agents. I know your mind is blown right about now! Fortunately there are PLENTY of wineries that don't use these fining agents and prefer to use bentonite clay instead. I'm so pleased to ...

Vegan Classic Vanilla Cake

April 10, 2020 by Izabela

The wait is finally over! I'm sharing my most BIGGEST ask since I went vegan: my go-to vegan classic vanilla cake recipe! When our family went plant based, my baking business was the last facet to follow suit. For a while, I thought I could continue business as usual, but the more I thought about it, it just didn't feel right. I temporarily shut down the cake business so I could take some time to test some recipes and arrive at ones that would be my go-to's- but this task was not easy. I wanted something that would produce the same results each time, didn't require super fancy ingredients and would make my customers shocked at the fact that my cakes were vegan. At the time there ...

How to Build a Vegan Charcuterie Board

March 26, 2020 by Izabela

Friends, what a time we are in right now- am I right? As mentioned in my Instagram stories the other day, I am committed to keeping my online space a happy, inspiring and fun one and with that in mind, I'm sharing how to build a vegan charcuterie board in partnership with Choices Markets! Now, there is really NO wrong way to build a charcuterie board. Some like lots of fresh fruit and veggies, while others (like me, LOL) love briney, saucy and indulgent things on mine! At Choices Markets, the possibilities are endless with what ingredients you can use and you can make your board as big or as small as you want. Sometimes my husband and I do a plate sized one to enjoy together while we're ...

Chocolate Coconut Power Balls

January 21, 2020 by Izabela

Chocolate Coconut Power Balls- I bet you won’t be able to stop at one!! These nuggets of goodness are packed with the good stuff and are refined sugar free meaning you can snack knowing it’s actually good for you!  I’ve always wanted to create a power ball that tastes more like a truffle than a health food and I think I #nailedit with this one! The addition of cocoa powder boosts up the chocolatey profile and the maple syrup adds the perfect touch of sweetness! You may also like these posts powered by Choices- click here and here! Quick cook oats add density to the bite while the banana maintains its moisture so it forms into a ball easily! The coconut and peanut butter are ...

Pumpkin Bundt Cake with Spiced Holiday Nog Glaze

November 19, 2019 by Izabela

Winter is just around the corner and the house is filling up with the cozy scent of cinnamon! While people tend to put the idea of pumpkins out of their minds after Halloween, pumpkin flavoured anything is the definition of the season. I'm not a PSL person by any means, but this Pumpkin Bundt Cake with Spiced Holiday Nog Glaze will make anyone ask for another slice! This cake has notes of gingerbread with the traditional spices and a subtle pumpkin finish. What really ties it all together is the Holiday Nog glaze! Never heard of Holiday Nog? Well friends, prepare to put down the eggnog and starting the car to stock up on Holiday Nog. This one in particular is a coconut milk based "egg ...

Vegan Double Chocolate Brownies

March 6, 2019 by Izabela

Sweet friends, I did it. Just when I thought I made a really GOOD peanut butter brownie recipe yesterday, I went and made some MIND BLOWING double chocolate brownies today, and friends, you'd never think that a.) they're vegan & gluten free and b.) they're made with chickpeas!! The idea stemmed from the over abundance of chickpeas due to the fact that I make royal icing for my sugar cookies with aquafaba. I was having a serious fridge situation with cans upon cans of drained chickpeas just sitting in there waiting for their moment of glory LOL. For the past few months I had been just roasting the chickpeas in the oven and seasoning them with a blend of nutritional yeast, onion ...

Last year I wanted to release my photo presets for lifestyle and food photography. But then self doubt creeped in and I was like... does anyone even want these?! 😆😆😆
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love a mix of warm imagery with contrast to highlight the colors and cooler tones that brighten so these presets are a combination of the two. If you struggle with dark lighting there is one for indoor shots too!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you like editing photos or are in the food industry and struggle with editing images- these Lightroom presets may be good for you!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’d love to know if you’d be interested! Let me know below 🤍📸

Your little Wednesday afternoon pick me up. 💐

Friends, yesterday I had a hard day. I felt like a complete failure. 🥺 I wasn’t going to post about it but then I realized I don’t always want to show up to my Instagram
Family as if things are always perfect. They aren’t. In fact they’re probably more imperfect times than actual perfect ones. 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I write this as a reminder to myself that hard moments do exist and they pass and I can get through them. Maybe you are in that same boat right now too. I’m hanging on to the thought that I am where I wanted to be a few years ago and that good things are just around the corner. We’ve just got to keep going. 🤍
