Visiting Sparta, Ontario

In the past week, we’ve discovered two new and beautiful areas within a half an hour drive from our home, that we otherwise totally forgot existed.

Watermelon Strawberry Ice Pops

The BEST Vegan Strawberry Milkshake

Strawberry season has begun, friends! For us, local strawberries signal the beginning of summer and local produce. There’s nothing like biting into a fresh, juicy, still-warm-from-the-bush strawberry.  Unless, of course, you have a mouthwatering vegan strawberry milkshake. That might be better. I was so pumped to pick up my first flat of strawberries that we… [Read More]
