# This is the longest I have ever gone without being on Steemit! It was my 1 year anniversary and we didn't even get to celebrate!

As some of you may remember me saying a month ago (*yes, it's been that long now- crazy, right?*) I am visiting my fam-jam in Canada for the first time in 2 years so it's kind of a big deal and thus, I have been spending zero time on my laptop which is how I connect to you all! ;)

That said, I have been having an amazing time at home! Everyday, true to form in my life has been an adventure so I will have to sneak some time away to get caught up on here but for now, I just wanted to drop in and share a quickie update of what's been up since landing in my beautiful homeland!

### Did you know that Toronto is one of the top rated vegan-friendly cities in the world? 
I flew into Toronto and have been back to visit twice since I got home and each time I have tried to eat at as many of the super creative restaurants lining the "*six*" (that's street slang for Toronto*) ;)

On a hot day, one might pick up an icecream cone by the water, a favorite past time of mine. With the sun shining down and everyone and their dog walking around with a cone in their hand, I decided to get my own! Well, turns out that this vegan icecream is my new bestfriend. This stuff is to die for! *Endorsement!* ;)

I've also been learning how to BBQ, an extension to my cooking repertoire. My mom's been enjoying veggie a la BBQ since I got here- she's even invited her friends over to see **"what vegans eat!"**
 
**I'm still working on it!**

He made me these incredible vegan nachos that are (*drum roll please...*) a part of his new vegan menu! **How cool is that?**

### So, as you can see, I have been one busy gal!
I love traveling the world and I love my little paradise in Bali but home will always belong to my heart and I am really valuing being able to spend time with family and enjoy the beautiful Canadian summer!

I have a couple of weeks left and I plan to be glued to my momma's side the whole time so....

### Don't miss me too much!
See you soon!
XOXO
