2020 = 20/20

2020 = 20/20

a sudden clarity of vision from a distance.

a moment in time to step back and reevaluate our trajectory as a whole. an opportunity to see clearly what was there all along.

The Monty's Experience

August 28, 2019

when i first heard news of my work’s closure, it left me with a void that i knew i needed to fill.

i was soon going to lose the space where i was greeted daily by familiar smiling faces, the kitchen where i had spent hours crafting new dishes, and the tribe that i had gotten to know so well over the first 10 months of my move to kw.

on the other hand, i thought of all the things that i had gained: a new community and following of people who are genuinely interested in the work that i put out, new perspectives and approaches to what i do, and an indescribable support system of individuals who have graced my life this past year.

6 surprising ingredients to store in your freezer gluten free my bf is gf

6 Surprising Ingredients to Store in Your Freezer

May 2, 2019

how do I whip up asian food at home like it’s nobody’s business? the simple answer is, I keep most of my ingredients on hand (see my gf pantry for a list of refrigerated and shelf stable ingredients).

add a short trip to the market or butcher shop for just a few items, and bam! you’ve got a meal. it’s my favourite way to shop since I can pick out what looks fresh that day instead of working around an ingredient list, with produce that is out of season.

taking a big bite out of life

taking a big bite out of life

when life gives you lemons, making the best f*cking lemon bars ever!

February 21, 2019

that being said, the whole theme of this post is about adaptability and change.

change has always been something I’ve struggled with, and I think everyone does, but what I’ve learned from the first 25 years of living is that it’s not something productive to dwell on. also, being the youngest child in my entire extended family, adaptability was something I had to learn quick, and I’ve taken that with me in all aspects of my life.

female food peeps unite!

October 30, 2018

as of late, I’ve decided to use this blog not only as a place to share gluten free content, but as a tool for me to process my thoughts and energy; to ultimately figure out the voice and journey I want to have in the world of food.

I used to think that no one would really want to read anything I had to say (and I still do!), but that also prevented me from ever writing anything, restricting the voice I had all along. the a-ha moment was when I realized that writing is something I have to do for me and nobody else.

October 15, 2018

whew! what a year it has been!

between working as a quasi-catering manager & event coordinator, planning basically 2 weddings of my own (we had a big fat chinese banquet too!), attending BOTH my sisters’ weddings, and moving out of toronto and into small town kitchener…2018 has been one for the books! I could not be more grateful for the family that we have and the friends who stick around to support us through it all.
