Vancouver Auto Show

Published by Molly Catherine

Yesterday Irek and I headed downtown to check out the Auto Show. I am not necessarily the biggest car person… but Irek is, so I’m always happy to join him. 🙂 There were some beautiful cars though! I loved the Aston Martin, the Maserati, and this really cute convertible Jag. After we walked around the show for a bit, and Irek took some photos, we headed to this little vegan lunch spot in Gastown. It’s called Meet in Gastown and they specialize in “veggie comfort food”. Irek and I both opted for the veggie burgers… They were super yummy! They also have the BEST vegan spinach & artichoke dip. I hope everyone has a lovely Easter weekend filled with lots of love & food!! Cheers, Molly xx __________ “Just relax and enjoy the magnificence of life.” – Debasish Mridha

Veggie Korma

Published by Molly Catherine

I have a total obsession with Indian food. This Veggie Korma recipe is one that I have been making EVERY week for the last year! It’s super flavourful, aromatic, hearty and delicious. Oh, and it’s vegan of course. 🙂 Make sure to not get too fussed over the measurements. Each time I make this I switch it up a bit, and it always turns out! So be creative, add your own twist & enjoy. Happy cooking!

The Acorn Restaurant

Published by Molly Catherine

On Friday night we decided to check out a vegetarian restaurant in Vancouver, called The Acorn. It won a bunch of awards and even made it to the top 10 for best vegetarian restaurants in the world by CNN and #2 by the Daily Meal. The Acorn definitely did not disappoint. The flavours were unlike anything I’ve tasted before! This was my boyfriend’s review word for word: “That was the best meal I’ve eaten in my 25 years of being alive.” Doesn’t get much better than that, haha! If you’re from the area and looking for good vegan options this one definitely makes the cut :). They use all local and seasonal ingredients as well, and the menu changes every couple of months. Mmmm… my mouth is watering! Cheers, Molly xx __________ “One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” – Virginia Woolf
