Pineapple Curry Coleslaw + Overcoming Fears
Trying something new can be scary, overwhelming and downright mortifying. Unfamiliarity makes our wildly active and fertile imaginations run rampant. The what-ifs start piling up and, before we know it, we have a mental list a mile long of why we can’t move forward with something.
Watermelon Smoothie Cooler
Do you find yourself drudging through your work day? Maybe the 2pm energy crash is a bit too familiar? My favorite way to boost my spirits in the mid-afternoon is to sit out in the sun, for 10 minutes or so, and sip on a healthy, refreshing drink. AND I have just the refreshingly light…
Corn-free Tortilla Chips and Summer Salsa
The tortilla chip is a marvelous thing. It’s salty, crunchy, textured, and goes well with just about anything. If you’re not down with corn, or you’re looking for a light summertime snack, the classic tortilla chip just doesn’t fit the bill.
Deluxe Cherry and Fennel Salad
We made it to Calgary! The dogs are ecstatic, we’re overjoyed, and the car is happy to be resting. When I was in Calgary a couple of weeks ago to look for a home for us, little pieces aligned and, miraculously, Kevin and I were able to get our Airdrie home back. The universe works…
Healthy Lemonade
I got home from Calgary late Sunday night and all I could think about was lemonade. Not just any lemonade, the (good) homemade stuff. The 10 lemon crushing, finger stinging, water and sugar boiling, lemonade. And not just a glass of it, I wanted a big ‘ol pitcher of it.
No bake Cinnamon Raisin Granola Bars
I’ve never been evacuated from my home. I’ve never shoveled wet mud over my basement windows, or stacked sandbags in front of my garage. I’ve never had my home torn into pieces by a river. I’ve never seen my valuables soaked in 8 feet of water. I’ve never had to pick pine needles from my…
Vanilla Nut Hemp Milk
Oh jeez, Calgary is rocking my world right now. I’m happy. I’m smiling. I’m all lit up. I attended my sister’s convocation (the scientific cookie of the family!), spent Papa’s day with my Dad, girls night with Mom… it’s been nourishing.
5 Ingredient Hazelnut Toffee Squares
Food memory throwbacks are the best kind of memories. The smells, the tastes, they’re essential to our life experience and should continue to be experienced even if allergies, sensitivities, or a change in eating style threaten to ruin the show. Allergies aside, I bet there are a handful of foods that ignite your creativity, stunt…
My new Omega 8006 Juicer
I am overly impressed with my new Omega 8006 Juicer. The feed chute on the 8006 is fairly small, so produce needs to be cut up into tiny small pieces. The prep work required to make a juice is longer than with my previous Breville juicer, but the juice that comes out of this beast…
