I want...
One of the benefits to having a boyfriend that travels a lot for work is that I get to partake in girly activities that I can’t generally find the time for when he’s at home. Like having 2 bubble baths in a day, drowning myself in reruns of the Gilmore Girls, and going to Eveline…
I’ve been collecting ideas for recipes for as long as I can remember. Since elementary school, I’ve had recipes scribbled down in my math workbook, tucked away in my safe keeping box, scattered throughout the drawers of my desk on little pieces of scrap paper, and most recently, organized in my outlook folder. With the…
I woke up yesterday craving Nanaimo bars – a dessert usually reserved for Christmas. But with the hubby gone to London, a day of absolutely no plans, and a craving for chocolate, I decided to just go for it. As we’ve learned from similar experiences in the past, I love my chocolate treats on the…
Who doesn’t like pie, smoothies and graham crackers? Or, limes, frothy toppings and sweet breakfasts? Big mugs, green things, and meals packed with goodness? All of these things? Can be your next green smoothie. Because green smoothies don’t have to be a “pinch your nose to scarf it down” experience. They can taste like pie…
Congratulations, Anna, you’ve won! I’ll send you an email in a few minutes. Thanks everyone for entering :) I went through a phase about 4 years ago where all I ever wanted for supper was homemade potato or yam fries baked in coconut oil. Even writing about it has me salivating. Did you know that…
Remember the Dole recipe contest I mentioned last week? I got started my entry on Sunday morning with the full intention of grilling bananas, pineapple and tempeh, but the hot weather distracted me and I ended up with cups of ice cream. I didn’t even get as far as preheating the grill! Darn you bananas…
Mother’s Day has always been special at our house. Wait, let me try that again… We’ve always tried to make Mother’s Day special, whether that’s been the case for the past 26 years is another story. This especially holds true for the 3 year period Christina; my sister, and I were teenagers together. Our hormones…
My little sister, Christina, and I couldn’t be more different. When she went outside to rough house with the boys, I stayed home and played barbies. Her room was green, mine was hot pink. I wore dresses, she despised them. When my Mom would bring home treats from the grocery store; like a carrot cake,…
Thank you for your support and positivity on Friday. You’re such a great bunch ;) I’m so pumped to start this next chapter in my life and share my experiences with all of you. Knowing that there’s only 100 days between me and the first day of the rest of my life is so exciting….
From the time I begin my day at 4am, I’m on the move. I workout, head to the office for 8-9 hours, come home to walk the dogs, make dinner, and prepare for an evening of nutrition consults. I’m strapped for time, all the time but I’ll never, ever be willing to sacrifice a healthy meal…
