Oh hey, Philip here. It’s only Tuesday and already it’s been quite a busy week. I’m the IT manager for a call center based in southern Ontario which keeps me very busy. I’ve Been having issues with a satellite office this morning, oh how I’d much rather be in Mexico drinking an ice cold Corona just about now! I cannot get over how cold it still is here in Ontario -11C and windy, hopefully not too much longer and we might see some nice sunny days (we can all dream)
We have lots of plans this spring/summer to do a lot of camping and visiting Ontario farms/farmers markets to see all the fresh and locally grown Ontario fruit and vegetables. This should make our vegan recipes that much easier to make. Since photography is my passion I like visiting many food blogs to see beautiful photographs of food that I could try and recreate with my own feel. Of course changing them to a vegan recipe first though. I think there is plenty of room for another food blog out there that is all about beautiful, healthy and great tasting vegan recipes! That’s why we started this blog in the first place. On to our recipe for tonight, Trish decided to make me a super nice and very easy Vegan Warm Potato and Arugula Salad.
