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…

Not sure if I’m the only one that feels this way, but I’ve never really been a big fan of pork.  I’ve always seen it as the ‘dirty white meat’. Even when I was younger, my mother, could never get me to eat it.  For instance; the beloved baby back ribs were always shot down.  The…

Growing up I was never a big fan of any type of dessert that had fruit or nuts in it. Like why would you ruin a perfectly good brownie by putting walnuts in there. But as I get older my palette is becoming a bit more sophisticated, i.e. I’m not only craving Kraft Dinner anymore. Which brings…

With NYE fast approaching I’m sure most of you have plans underway or something brewing in your mind, like maybe a certain someone that you want to plant a wet one on?!  Maybe a party you want to be seen at?  But I always thought NYE was a lot to do about nothing. You spend…

We’ve all done it. I’m not sure if it stems from habit or lack of time but every once in a while don’t you feel like you’re on autopilot when it comes to the things you eat? Just the other day I was thinking – what do I want for dinner? And without missing a…

When I was a child Christmas was pretty much my favourite time of the year.  Shiny wrapped gifts in my near future, the possibility of endless snow days, building a snowman and having fun until your sister would throw snow in your face and the fun and games would all come to a crying end….

Every week when I tackle the “what should I write about on the blog” I try and think back to a funny memory or a cute story, maybe even just something that makes me happy that I want to share. But in light of all of the senseless acts of violence that took place on Friday…
