What A Nutrition Educator Eats: Las Vegas Edition
Las Vegas was never high on my list of places to check out. The booze, gambling, endless buffets, shopping, cigarette smoke… It sounded horrible.
Gluten-free, Dairy-free Pancakes at Cafe Natura
I was on a mission to find some of the coolest gluten-free eating spots while we made our way across the country last week. It’s not every day that you get to visit 5 states and 3 provinces. I had a restaurant list ready and raring to go!
The Romance of Quebec City
Regardless of the intense weather conditions this past weekend, Kevin and I packed up the car with healthy snacks and audiobooks and made our way up North for our first visit to Quebec City. It was a lovely (snowy) day filled with beautiful sights, fogged up camera lenses and great eats. Here are some of…
Gluten-free in NYC Part II
It was really hard for me to leave New York City yesterday. If it weren’t for my loving little family waiting for me to return home, a job to get back to, and a yoga practice to rekindle, I would have extended my stay just a little longer. The people, the photography course, the food,…
Commensal, Laval
I got into New York yesterday afternoon, found the M60 bus, and made my way to the hostel. The plan today: a little morning Moksha Yoga to get my energy all fired up, a trip to Liberty Island, lunch at Pure Food and Wine, sight seeing at Rockefeller center, and dinner at an allergen-friendly Ethiopian…
Coyotes Southwestern Grill, Banff
Of all the days I’ve spent skiing, partying, hiking and hanging out in Banff, I’ve never once seen or heard of Coyotes Southwestern Grill. It seems a shame that I only just discovered this little gem of a gluten-free friendly spot. There have been so many times that I’ve been in Banff, craving a good,…
Jukebox Burgers, Montreal
Some may indulge in chocolates, candies or other sweet things but me? I’m a burger and fries gal. I don’t enjoy them often but when I do, I go all out. Kevin and I were on one of our weekend adventures recently when we heard an ad for Jukebox Burgers on the radio. I haven’t…
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
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,…
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…
