The world has been changing so rapidly. It is now March 2025 and I tried all the vegan eggnogs in December 2024. It is still snowing in Ottawa so it’s still winter. I don’t know if these businesses will still have the same drinks next year and thought about not posting this because it’s so late but I still want to showcase these businesses. They may not have eggnog latte’s anymore but they have other seasonal drinks.   The drink that inspired this post was a vegan eggnog latte from Les Moulins La Fayette Hintonburg. This is one of my favourite cafes in Ottawa they have amazing vegan sandwiches and even some vegan bakery items. Until I saw the sign outside last year I didn’t know they had vegan eggnog. I drank this drink for months last year it but I had forgotten about it. They use a house made syrup that I really enjoyed. Since getting a Nespresso frother I haven’t gone out for coffee as much as I used to. I was reminded about the latte from their Instagram post. I really looked f...

Vegan Mayonnaise airfryer bread

-







I was curious if vegan mayo is good for baking so time for some experiments. I am not a baker and do not measure ingredients I like to experiment. This turned out amazing I have already made it twice slightly different method. Method one came out pastry like and method 2 was more like deep dish pizza crust. Both were excellent. 

I don’t measure ingredients but I’ll try to give you a recipe. 

Method 1: ingredients vegan mayo, flour, olive oil




Add 1 tablespoon of yeast and vegan mayo to 1/2 cup tap water in a bowl mix with spoon. Add 2 cups of flour and mix with hands keep adding flour until consistency looks like this


Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature. I put mine inside the Instant pot. After a few hours it will look like this.


This is a fun dough to play with it doesn’t fall apart easily. Add a little olive oil before shaping the dough. 


I tried cooking some but it was better after being in the fridge overnight. 


After letting it sit in the fridge overnight I stuffed some with cheese. 


Spray tray with olive oil. Cook in the instant vortex plus airfryer oven at 375 for 17 minutes. 




Method 2: ingredients vegan mayo, flour, olive oil, sugar, salt 

This method is similar to method 1 with a few differences. 

Mix 1 tablespoon yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar with half a cup of water. Let sit for 10 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and 2 cups flour and keep adding flour and mix until looks like this

           Cover with plastic wrap and place in fridge 

After a few hours I didn’t have a container to store my leftover air fried cauliflower and potato so I stuffed it inside the dough.


The dough is easy to hand shape.


Stuffed 2 and left a little plain to make something else tomorrow. 

Back in the fridge overnight and the dough combined together so had to hand separate the stuffed dough. 

 Coat tray and dough with olive oil cooking spray. Cook at 365 for 20 minutes.


This is delicious. Hope you enjoy let me know in the comments below or on Instagram @livingvancouverloca if you try this recipe.

Recovery Six months after Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)

-
It has been over six months since I had Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE). I have some previous blogs about getting diagnosed and the day of the procedure. You can read them here my-experience-having-uterine-fibroid.html  and Fibroids-ultrasound-mri-and-ufe-.html  Now it is time to talk about recovery. I will start with right after the procedure to now. It is about seven months after the procedure now.  Where I live you stay overnight in the hospital for pain management they give you a self controlled morphine pump. There are other places where you will go home 4 hours after the procedure. I remember being in my room and people telling me they were going to put things in a locker I asked them to give me the ginger coconut water I had in the bag. I knew I wasn't going to be allowed to get up for hours nor did I feel like it I didn't realize that I wouldn't be allowed to get up all night because of the urinary catheter. It didn't matter because I had no desire to get up ...

If you haven’t read my previous blog posts about fibroids and UFE this post will make more sense after reading these posts   Recovery Six months after UFE   Fibroids, Ultrasound, MRI, UFE during a Pandemic Since I don’t have any pictures to go along with this post enjoy the scenery pictures that are from Vancouver and Ottawa. I went into menopause in my forties after having uterine fibroid embolization for fibroids. I was loving menopause not worrying about bleeding was so great. All the symptoms I had except for a few were easier than dealing with fibroid periods. I went to Jamaica with my friend in April and she got hers on the trip and I was like I don’t miss those days. She was lucky her's only lasted a few days but mine always lasted longer than my trip. Almost exactly three years after UFE I went to the bathroom in the morning and there was blood in the toilet. I thought okay I’m not sure what this is maybe it’s just a one time thing. I hadn’t realized it at the time bu...
