It’s not easy being green but it sure is delicious… I wish I could tell you that I’ve always had a love for all things healthy.  I feel like it might have given me a sort of sophisticated glow, like I was ahead of the eat more kale trend. Sadly I had no clue that this…

Lately I’ve started to notice that my dog is losing his svelte doggie physique and is almost starting to morph into a sausage type shape. Yes, like an actual hot dog! Ha! Happens to the best of us. We get lazy or we blame the winter. Stupid Winter!!! But I think I figured out what…

I think that as we get older we start to realize, or at least I did very early on, that it’s not so much about the quantity of friends that you have in your life, as it is the quality.  Like when Facebook first launched I remember thinking; I needed to get as many “friends”…

When I was little I never really understood why there was a day that we had to celebrate mom, I mean c’mon, she already gets a birthday, but now we have to take another day and spoil her again?!? But then it hit me, as I got older I started to realize that out of the…

Light it up!!! I said that like Mick Jagger if you were wondering. I’m talking about the barbecue….or the grill…or the bee bee queue! And what’s the first thing that comes to mind as a side dish?! I’m going to play mind reader and guess that you are thinking of Potato Salad!!! Because personally I…

I know I’m not alone when I say that there isn’t much I wouldn’t do for my health. I’ve had tubes fed down my throat, tubes fed up my… seen pretty much every specialist out there, x-rays, scans…..you name it I’ve done it!  AND lucky me in my early 30’s I’m also scheduled to have…

Can we just talk for a second about how flippin’ delicious applesauce is?! I have almost become a wee bit obsessed.  It’s possible that I may or may not have a whole kitchen cupboard shelf STOCKED! How did I accumulate so much fibre filled goodness you ask?  Well, the other day I’m strolling through Costco,…

When it comes to my favourite holidays Easter is right up there with Christmas for two reasons: A) it means eating LOTS of chocolate, plus no one judges your consumption because they too are getting their bunny freak on, and B) who doesn’t love a good hunt where sugary is the prize???   I think…

One question I get asked a lot when it comes to recipe testing is; how do you know that whatever your “testing” is going to turn out? And the simple answer is this: I don’t. I’ve actually lost count of yuck that’s ended up in the garbage or spit back out onto my plate (sometimes I feel like…

I can’t believe it!!! One class left and I will officially be a Certified Holistic Nutritionist. Not gonna lie, these last two years have felt like they might never end. The friends I’ve met, the things I’ve discovered…learnt…overcome…all mixed in with a lot of blood, sweat and tears. I can honestly say that I have…

Fudge… What’s not to love? I remember always hanging out by those one stop fudge shops thinking… if I stand here long enough making my sad eyes maybe they’ll give me a free sample? Then you’d do a lap of the surrounding area and come back hoping they didn’t realize that you’ve already done this song and dance….

One thing that I really miss and took for granted even though I was unknowingly poisoning myself is ordering take out. Chinese food, pizza, Indian, Thai, all the flavours from around the world kept in my kitchen in the “menu” drawer. I always knew it was going to be a good night around the dinner…
