Grateful for so many things this holiday season ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ๐ŸŒฒ The chance to be at home, my wonderful friends who came to see me yesterday and all the amazing things that have happened to me this year. ๐Ÿ’•โœจ Iโ€™ve had the opportunity to connect with so many Zimbabwean creatives this year including @zimbo_son and @gastronomy_wanderings and Iโ€™d love to meet up and work with any other creatives out there, food blogger or not! ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ผ๐Ÿ“ท๐Ÿ‘— If youโ€™re interested in working together in 2018 then please donโ€™t be afraid to get in contact with me! Looking forward to creative growth and even more adventures in 2018 ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿพ
Okay so I know I promised a post this weekend. And in all honesty, I had the full intention of doing that. I sat down to write and stared at a blank page for 30 minutes before watching old episodes of Greyโ€™s Anatomy on Netflix. Totally not productive ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿพ I had never once imagined in my lifetime that I could be this worn down, broken and exhausted. And my first semester at college has managed to do that and so much more. Going to Penn has been an insane adventure, more than I could ever have expected but it has also been the toughest challenge I have ever faced. Being 8000 miles away from home hasnโ€™t made it any easier, and as we move into the last week of classes, the only thing thatโ€™s on my mind is how close I am to going back home ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพโค๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ผ So to answer the question that youโ€™ve been dying to ask - yes I will post again. When exactly? I canโ€™t give you a date on that. With all the pressure that deadlines have given me over the past few months, I would hate for this project of mine to feel like just another chore to do. Because it is so much more than that. To all of you who continue to send me emails and DMs whilst Iโ€™ve been inactive, thank you so much it means the world to me ๐Ÿ’• Sending you love wherever you are in the world! ๐ŸŒป
Yesterday I had the pleasure of going apple picking at Linvilla Orchards, PA ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ Aside from chugging apple cider and coming home with more apples than I know what to do with, it was a much needed break from the stressful environment that Penn can be. ๐Ÿ™†๐Ÿพ So my friends, I have 2 questions for you today: what does one do with a box of apples, and what would you like to see more of from me? Iโ€™m just about ready to start creating again but Iโ€™d love to hear from you! ๐Ÿ˜ธ . . . . . #fall #applepicking #linvillaorchards #pennsylvania #vegan #veganfoodshare #veganrecipes #veganfriendly #plantbased #whatveganseat #outdooradventures #upenn #upenn2021
When I first started college, I thought the food here was so much better than I expected. 1 month later, it's now extremely repetitive and I'm dying to try something new ๐Ÿ˜– If you're tired of having the same old avocado toast for breakfast (I know I am) then give this Herby Halloumi Heirloom Tomato Bake - try saying that 3 times fast๐Ÿ˜† The recipe is through the link in my bio โœจ . . . . . . #collegelife #upenn #vegetarianrecipes #vegetarian #penn2021 #foodblogfeed @foodblogfeed #feedfeed @thefeedfeed @professionalrecipes #foodblog @yuminthetum #linkinbio #foodie #yuminthetumREPOST #thekitchn #foodphotography #foodietwin #gloobyfood @food_glooby #beautifulcuisines #f52contest #succulentsmidgens #huffposttaste #bestfoodnews #foodbassador #storyofmykitchen #storyofmytable #nomnomnom
Happy Fall babes! โœจ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‚ Once again, thank you for all of your birthday wishes, and all the love on my last post, it really made me feel special! It's been such an incredibly long week, and somewhere along the way I managed to pick up a cold ๐Ÿคง This Curry Butternut Soup never fails to do the trick when it comes to making me feel better, and the recipe is on my blog if you want to make it too! Just search 'Butternut soup' on my blog for the recipe ๐Ÿ˜Œ What do you eat when you're feeling under the weather? . . . . . . . #vegan #veganfoodshare #vegansofig #whatveganseat #veganrecipes #foodblogfeed @foodblogfeed #feedfeed @thefeedfeed @professionalrecipes #foodblog @yuminthetum #linkinbio #foodie #yuminthetumREPOST #thekitchn #foodphotography #foodietwin #gloobyfood @food_glooby #beautifulcuisines #f52contest #succulentsmidgens #huffposttaste #bestfoodnews #foodbassador #storyofmykitchen #storyofmytable #nomnomnom
So today just happens to be my 19th birthday (omg so old) and instead of craving cake, I'm in the mood for these spicy vegan potato pancakes ๐Ÿ˜ Want the recipe?
