Healthy Travel 104: Camping and Eating Well
For more on the healthy travel series, check out packing for success and staying on track away from home, backpacking essentials, camping and eating well. The days of camping trips filled with pop tarts for breakfast, bologna sandwiches for lunch, and canned veggie chili for dinner are long gone. This girl is a clean eating…
Dark Chocolate Fudge Protein Cake
I try to supplement my chocolate cravings in creative ways that help me avoid succumbing to sitting on the floor of the pantry with my arms elbow deep in a family-sized chocolate chip bag. While sometimes I end up turning to the dark side, other times I surprise myself and come up with a creative…
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…
Vegan Gluten-free Almond Peach Bread
Oh my gosh did we have a fun time last night at the Calgary Stampede. The weather was hot, the grounds were buzzing with activity… and may I just say George Canyon is one sexy man? Yeeha to that! The four of us got down to the grounds around 6pm. We walked around, ate fries…
What to Pack for a Camping Trip
Good morning! I’m getting pretty excited for my visit to the Stampede later today. It looks like it’s going to be a hot and sunny day – I may actually get to wear my cowboy hat down to the grounds, yeeha! It’s hard to believe we were on our way home from camping in Cypress…
Sweet Potato Cooler and Summer Lovin’ Salad
We just may have a warm, rain-free weekend upon us! Oh I hope I haven’t jinxed it by saying that. My sister, Dad and I are headed to the Stampede to hit up the gluten-free eats on the midway and rock out to George Canyon at the Coca Cola Stage on Sunday night. There’s nothing…
Banana Bread Super Foods Smoothie
Banana and I have been best buds throughout my life. I just couldn’t picture a world without them. They add sweetness to an otherwise boring porridge, lend their creamy texture to smoothies, and caramelize nicely in a pan with some coconut oil and maple syrup as a late night treat. Out of the 41 recipes…
Madly Organic, Calgary
psst… I just posted the winner for the goat dairy giveaway. Check to see if you won! It was recommended by a friendly Facebook follower that I make my way into the city to check out Madly Organic – a new gluten-free friendly cafe in Calgary. Upon doing a bit of investigating I was pleasantly…
Camping in Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park Part I
Kevin and I are both outdoorsy people. We’ll come up with any excuse to head to the mountains for the weekend, could spend an eternity camping under the stars, and have started collecting random trail guides for various parts of the country on the off chance we ever go for a visit. When the weather…
Oil-free Carrot Cake Protein Bars
Kevin and I had such a great time camping this weekend. It’s exactly what we needed. There were many good eats to be had (including these high protein, gluten-free, homemade protein bars) naps, and long, long roads to venture down. We had planned to stay at the campsite until this morning, but decided to head…
