Whether you need to pull it together for a potluck or bring something to family Thanksgiving, this recipe isn’t only quick and easy, it’s also a major crowd pleaser. A step-up from the traditional...

Marshmallows, chocolate and bunnies (oh my)

Written on September 8, 2017. Posted in Lifestyle.

I think we can all agree that the four months of summer always feel like the shortest months of the year. But although the season of pumpkin spice and orange ivy on campus quickly approaches, there’s no need to ditch your campfire dreams just yet. Rain, sleet, snow or hail – these campfire-inspired...

Grandma Liblik's Spanakopita Recipe

Written on June 26, 2017. Posted in Lifestyle.

Throughout the school year, it’s hard not to miss home-cooking. While we often have the luxury in the summertime of having dinner at home, we need to start preparing ourselves for when we are back in school without mom or dad to whip up our favorite meals. While we all have our family favourites,...

Bite-sized banana bread

Written on September 27, 2016. Posted in Lifestyle.

I have a tremendous amount of respect for people who can have only one slice of banana bread. My “slices” of banana bread consist of roughly a quarter loaf, and who really only eats one slice? They’re cute, they’re tasty and as satisfying as an entire loaf. You could also just have one, but that’s...

Traditional and modern bannock

Written on March 11, 2016. Posted in Lifestyle.

With Aboriginal Awareness Week underway, there’s nothing quite like celebrating Indigenous culture with our famous bannock. Bannock, commonly called frybread, is flat bread that’s both sweet and savoury. The traditional version is called Kana’tarohkhòn:we, which roughly translates to “original cooked...

Tasty taco salad

Written on March 4, 2016. Posted in Lifestyle.

During midterm season, fitness and cooking become less of a priority, and fattening comfort food creeps its way into your diet. Getting out of the second semester slump isn’t easy, and going cold turkey on junk food will just lead to a late-night binge. Instead, this taco salad has all of the great...

Tomato egg drop soup

Written on February 9, 2016. Posted in Lifestyle.

In the summer before I headed off to my first year of university, my mother insisted I learn how to cook the various staples we ate at home. With Monday being Chinese New Year, I knew I wouldn’t be able to recreate any traditional Chinese dishes eaten during this time of year, but I do have this recipe. While...

Jamaican coconut bread

Written on February 9, 2016. Posted in Lifestyle.

Black History Month serves as a reminder of the importance of appreciating and exploring other cultures — and honestly, there’s nothing that brings people together quite like food. This month, I decided to explore a recipe in Jamaican cuisine provided by a good friend of mine. This recipe for coconut...

Homemade protein bars

Written on January 29, 2016. Posted in Lifestyle.

New year, new you. You’ve figured out how to swipe your student card at the ARC and you’re braving the treadmill line. You might even consider opening the petrifying doors to the lifting zone. But while you might be working off that winter weight, your muscles need an adequate protein supply to recover...

Five ways to make grilled cheese

Written on January 12, 2016. Posted in Lifestyle.

Grilled cheese is probably one of the most popular comfort foods amongst university students. It’s easy, quick and incredibly satisfying. But how many times have you settled for the simple cheddar and white bread combo? You deserve a new twist on a classic, or maybe five. Welcome to the future of...

Chocolate Christmas cheer

Written on December 3, 2015. Posted in Lifestyle.

One of my favourite things about baking is that you can make any recipe personal. Everyone has their own way of doing things, their own family recipes and secret ingredients.

Molten lava in a winter wonderland

Written on November 13, 2015. Posted in Lifestyle.

As the air starts to cool, and the dreaded Kingston winds start to pick up, many of us find ourselves bundled up wishing for the warm summer months to return. Better yet, for the winter break to finally come packed with holiday treats. If the blanket scarf isn’t holding you over during these cooler...

A wicked treat

Written on October 30, 2015. Posted in Lifestyle.

We all have that friend who shows up to a potluck with an extravagantly decorated masterpiece that puts your Pillsbury Halloween cookies to shame. With the spookiest and sweetest holiday of the year just around the corner, it’s time you swap that pre-made Pillsbury cookie dough for a wicked new...

Speedy breakfasts for the late riser

Most of the time I only have a few minutes, but I’ve managed to find a few go-tos that I can either eat quickly or take on my way to class. To follow are...

Five-minute pumpkin spiced mug cake

Written on September 29, 2015. Posted in Lifestyle.

The return of the PSL is an annual event like no other. That’s a pumpkin spice latte for those of you who’ve been living on West Campus, cut off from the rest of society. Forget your birthday, whatever you do at the end of September, and the airdate of the next season of that reality show you guiltily...

Shake up your shake

Written on September 22, 2015. Posted in Lifestyle.

Have a busy morning ahead? Forget about the coffee and doughnuts (well, maybe not the coffee) and instead try the filling, but healthier option of a smoothie. Smoothies are a thick, smooth drink of fresh fruit pureed with milk, yogurt or ice cream. While this combination often creates delicious concoctions...

A cheesy love affair

Written on July 28, 2015. Posted in Lifestyle.

No relationship has been more fulfilling and reliable in my life than that between myself and a good slice of pizza. The instant satisfaction of gooey cheese melted over warm dough and one of thousands, no — millions, of combinations of toppings, is incomparable. It can only be topped by the state...

Pumpkin spice latte’s BFF: Easy pumpkin muffins

Written on September 18, 2014. Posted in Lifestyle.

Well, it’s that time of year again.

Between waiting in line to buy textbooks and balancing a social life with 8:30 a.m. classes, we already have enough on our minds during the first week back on campus.
