I met Monica this September as we both started our PhD careers. She has ended up being one of the very best people I’ve met so far on this journey. She is the kind of friend who takes time out of her day to bring you a sandwich when you’re stuck at a poster presentation […]
Ladoo and Family: A Guest Post by Ambreen Naveed
I met Ambreeen while we were both working on a Master of Social Work degree. What I noticed right away about her was her ability to build community. Not only was she incredibly welcoming and kind, she often brought food to share with our class as a way for us to build relationship. From spicy […]
Empty the Fridge Fried Rice
If you’re anything like me, you are always looking for new ways to use up leftovers so that food doesn’t go to waste. There’s nothing I hate more than having to throw away food that’s spoiled in the fridge, so I make a genuine effort to have “leftover days.” Sometimes I will make a stir-fry, […]

Sweet potatoes? Yams? What the hell are these things called? Truthfully, I have done extensive (lol) research on all of the links on the first three pages of google for the search term “sweet potato vs yam” and I came up with nothing!

Delicious Kale Salad: A Guest Post by Jennifer Marshman
Today we are lucky enough to have another guest post on Guliash Girl! It’s great for a variety of voices to be represented in these types of spaces and I am always looking for more people to share. When I moved to Kitchener-Waterloo I had no idea I would meet so many people who are excited […]

Friendsgiving
Friendsgiving 3 spoon Yesterday I had a few pals over for a meal and I wanted to write a quick post about it this morning in case some of you still needed some last minute ideas for your family meals tonight. While I don’t want to promote the celebration of Thanksgiving for its colonial history, […]
