Oh my gosh it’s so hot out. It’s been 81F or higher since Sunday and looks like today will be about the same. Living in a town that sees 8 months of snow makes 81 degrees feel like we’re living in the sun. Thankfully our neighbors have air conditioning, and I have plenty of treats…
I was so tired yesterday morning that I decided to skip my morning workout, treat myself to a 30 minute sleep in, and prepare a nice breakfast. After enjoying an apple quinoa flake bake, I set the intention that I would find the time in the afternoon for a run. Thankfully, 10 hours later I…
Kevin and I have been busy bees this week! The weather’s been hot, the sunscreen is running on empty, ice cream has been flowing, and our backyard projects are finally coming together. Among other things, we dug a 24″ deep trench for the conduit cable for our new bug zapper. Take THAT mosquitoes. Mwahaha. I…
As a kid, I ate peaches and cream oats like it was my JOB! That, and apple cinnamon. My sister would get so upset when I’d raid the oatmeal variety packs and steal all of the good flavors. You snooze, you lose, right? Thankfully with overnight oats, you snooze and you WIN every time. Good…
What a weekend! The weather was gorgeous, we have trees in our backyard now, our neighborhood barbecue was a success, and… my computer’s fixed! Thankfully no files were lost. So, the minute my computer was up and running, I did a backup of everything. I now have everything online on Dropbox. I was drawn to…
What an eventful day yesterday! I’d taken the day off from work to catch up on things but ended up having to deal with a major computer problem for a huge chunk of the day. At 12pm, I found myself in my car, rushing into the city with my damaged computer tower nestled in the…
Back in May, we took my Mom out at one of our favorite restaurants in Calgary, the Coup. I’ve gone to the Coup probably twice a week for the past 5 years, so I’ve literally tried every gluten free item on the menu, except a scrambled egg dish they call “Green Eggs No Ham”. What…
The weekend went by terribly fast, didn’t it? It hasn’t stopped raining in over 2 weeks, or at least it seems that way. Instead of relaxing outside as I’m sure most of you did, we spent most of the weekend cuddled up on the couch with the puppies, watching movies and dozing off here and…
Congratulations, Alex + Claire – you’ve won 4 boxes of gluten-free granola bars! I’ll send you an email in a few! ———————————————————— I know that’s not a bowl of chia pudding above, and chia has absolutely nothing to do with the recipe I’m planning to share with you, but enlighten me… Has anyone had chia…
I think one of my favorite things about blogging has been forcing myself to come up with new snack ideas. Of course I have my favorites, but I can’t very well be posting kale chip, strawberry shortcake, and cracker recipes every week, now can I? It’s been nice to start each week off with a…
