Just a record-breaking (not in a good way) 38° day on PEI. 😵🥵 An ocean swim was necessary. Diving into the cold salt water makes me feel alive. #climatechange #recordheat #pei #northshore #chefsdayoff #stopbigoil #endfossilfuels #summer #leoseason #august #birthdayweekend

I just enrolled in the Food and Travel writing course offered by University of British Columbia. It begins in January—perfect timing when the restaurant isn't quite as busy. #cheflife #learn #growthmindset #woman #leoseason #love #pei #ubc #extendedlearning

www.cheftrisha.ca/blog/roasted... This Vegetable Club layered with roasted eggplant, peppers, onion and portobello then fresh tomato, arugula and a generous slathering of my basil mayo will make you forget all about the original. Fresh. Hearty. Flavour Packed. #cheflife #VeganAF #pei

#Ginger #Turmeric #shots I blend the fresh stuff with a splash of AC vinegar, filtered water & 🍋. Strain & pour into bottles. Shot before my #coffee. 4 pack of these immune boosting shots are min 12$ at the store. Easy to make yourself. #HealthyHabits #vegan #pei #wfpb #veganAF #foodphotography

The fog hovering at the edge of my garden this morning is comforting. #pei #July #garden #love #moody #beauty #naturalist #growagarden #birdsactuary

Not going to read the study. But hoping it's facts because coffee is life. 🤞☕️

"I could never go vegan because I love cheese." Thinking about this statement I've heard many times, as I eat an entire wedge of the most sensual plant based cheese ever. #cheflife #gorgonzola #spirulina #cheese #veganAF #pei

After a long day in the kitchen cooking for hundreds of people, I ran to the beach as fast as I could. #northshore #pei #woman #cheflife #ocean #naturalist

This #caesarsalad is anything but classic, I skip the croutons. Lots of crunchy veg, greens, romaine, kale, chickpeas, tomato, then dressed with tons of my creamy caper dressing and homemade coconut bacon. Lots of black pepper and lemon. Recipe is on my blog. 🔥 #veganAF #pei #eatlikeyougiveafuck

Spent Canada Day reading books, drinking kombucha, and reflecting on how I can't fathom celebrating a country complicit in genocide. I hold gratitude for the peace, safety, and privilege I have in this country, but I am not "proud." #landback #CanadaDay #FreePalestine

My strawberry plant is giving. Just a few berries here and there, but I'll take it. Day dreaming about having a larger garden someday. I'd grow enough for jams and dehydrating. 💭🍓 #summer #cheflife #garden #naturalist #love #pei #July #strawberries #growyourown

Swiss cheese. Made from cashews. Definitely has sparked my interest. The blend of spices really give it a Swiss cheese flavour profile. (Coriander is one of them) 48 hours in my dehydrator at lowest temp. Need to look into proper aging. 😍🧀 #veganAF #cheflife #cheese #flavour #veganfood #plantbased

"Love is not a feeling because feelings come & go. Love is not chemistry because chemistry can be chaos looking for chaos. Love is not a high because a high usually comes down. So what is love? #Love is a devotion. A sacred practice. A choice you make again & again." #photography #35mm #lorinkrenn

Day off heatwave. Exhausted from work week. Medicine: Plants. Kombucha. Books. #love #devotion #naturalist #woman #pei #plants #soberliving #kombucha #Emerson #heatwave #garden #rest 🌹 🐦‍⬛

A bowl full of roasted, pickled, fermented and raw veg with marinated tofu, noodles & dragon sauce...& ginger turmeric Kombucha, of course. Inspired by the menu at #farmacyandfermentary for my meal prep. #local #eatlikeyougiveafuck #vegan #pei #kombucha #summer #love

Vegan Breakfast Sandwich and greens at #farmacyandfermentary Tourist season is here and I have infinitely less time to cook for myself. Eating healthy feels even more important this time of year to keep energy and immunity up. #cheflife #sobriety #veganAF #supportlocal #kombucha

Ginger Turmeric Kombucha and Emerson is today's vibe. Followed by a long walk. Local NS strawberries, too. #library #kombucha #farmacyandfermentary #pei #woman #love #books #strawberries #gingerturmeric #veganAF #sobriety #soberlifestyle #chefsdayoff #supportlocal

A friend grew and gifted me mushrooms. So I made some insane 🔥 tacos. Lemon hops kombucha & books alongside. #chefsdayoff #June #woman #love #create #lifeisart #tacos #gratitude #solitude #naturalist #sun #mushrooms #gifteconomy

Sheetpan chow mein. Noodles are so good. This is a lazy version that gives you both crisp and soft bites of noodles without getting out the wok. Asparagus. Bell pepper. Baby corn. Carrots. Broccoli. Soy dressing. Scallion. Cilantro. Sesame. #chefsdayoff #pei #veganAF #veganfood #chowmein #noodz

Today's project. Another place to put plants/build up the bird and bees oasis. I planted creeping thyme between the stones which will flower and attract pollinators. #garden #landscape #creatives #chefsdayoff #pei #rewild #earth #beauty #love #garden #naturalists

Slow Sunday. Delicious Vegan French Toast at Farmacy and Fermentary. Chilly morning, so hot tea instead of Kombucha. #Sunday #chefsdayoff #farmacyandfermentary #rest #pei #charlottetown #veganAF #frenchtoast #love #spring #pause
