About

Welcome! Thanks for visiting my little corner of the web.

I'm Jennifer. Originally from Toronto, I currently live just north of the city in the cottage country. I do all of the writing, photography, and recipe developing, for the blog. I share healthy, functional recipes that my family and I enjoy on an everyday basis. While this is not strictly a gluten-free, you’ll find that many of my recipes are. This is simply because I enjoy eating and cooking this way, and I want to share recipes that everyone can enjoy. I also make recipes that are vegan.

While my background and passion is in audio recording technology, sound + creative sound design. I am also very passionate about nutrition, healthy eating, and fitness.

I like to think that cooking is something that brings you back to your roots and connects you with your family. What's better than a house filled with the aroma of apple crisp baking away in the oven while you sit down to Sunday dinner with your loved ones?

I believe in eating wholesome, real, local food, while living an active life. Cooking doesn't have to be about creating complicated masterpieces that require a chefs degree. The way I see it; simple tastes best.

Here I would like to share with you my love for food, great recipes, music related musings, and food photography.

More about me:

  • I graduated from the Ontario Institute of Audio Recording Technology (OIART for short) with a degree in audio engineering.
  • I started lifting weights around 2006 because I wanted to in-shape and healthy. Since then I've made some pretty noticeable gains and now weight training is a huge part of my life. Fitness + nutrition has become a huge part of my life ever since.
  • I’ve been printed + published three times in both Low Sugar Living and Go Gluten-Free magazines.
  • Breakfast is my favourite meal.
  • I love music and playing guitar - I currently own 6 guitars.
  • Rodrigo y Gabriela are my music hero’s.
  • I feel best when I get more plants into my diet.
  • Coffee, loose-leaf tea, wine, and local craft beer are delicious.
  • I love hiking + exploring, golf, cycling, and traveling to hot, exotic places.

MY CAMERA, PHOTOS ETC.

I shoot all of the photos here with the Canon 60D. My main lens right now is the 50 mm f/1.4. I edit the photos with Lightroom.
