Maintaining a Healthy Routine When You’re Moving

When we were planning our move, we had a bunch of moving companies visit the house to take a look at everything in it and provide us with a quote. During the process, each representative suggested that we throw out the items in our pantry to save on weight and reassess how many dishes and…

Aux Vivres, Montreal

Aux Vivres, Montreal

I’d never been to a full-on vegan restaurant until we visited Montreal earlier this month. There’s such a healthy, take-care-of-your-body, organic pulse to the city, it’s fabulous. Just as I had with Crudessence, I went to Aux Vivres twice. Partly because I was in the mood for another vegan meal, and also because I couldn’t…

Crudessence, Montreal

Crudessence, Montreal

It’s a hard knock life for raw foodists here in cow town. Not only does the climate not support a raw diet; being that it’s Winter practically all the time here, the raw resources in this city are practically nonexistent. Saying it’s a challenge being a raw vegan in Calgary would be an understatement. Heck,…

15 Healthy Gluten-free Summer Meals

15 Healthy Gluten-free Summer Meals

I was made for Summer. I was born to eat French fries and vinegar on the beach, chat with friends on the patio until 2am, and drown myself in barbecue sauce. Sure, I like stew, but I’d rather have a fresh salad instead. I enjoy a hot cup of cocoa, but would happily trade it…

Zucchini Blossom, Medicine Hat

Zucchini Blossom, Medicine Hat

Kevin and I spent one full day of our recent camping trip to Cypress Hills putzing around Walmart supercenter, eating out and touring Medicine Hat. What’s that? Campers don’t go out for lunch? Well, they do when their name is Leanne and all she wants for lunch is a panini. A little searching on my…

Don’t let the construction tape on the sign fool you, this place is an absolute gem. From the delightfully proud and loving owners, to the classic presentation of South Indian cuisine, Canadian Dosa Corner has easily become my new favorite place to grab a nourishing lunch during the workweek. When I was asked to choose…

The Coup, Calgary

The Coup, Calgary

This was the scene outside of our house yesterday morning before I headed into the city to meet a friend for brunch. It’s May… come on now, is snow really necessary? The white stuff made highway visibility really poor and slow-going, but it was well worth it knowing that there was a delicious meal at…
