Flavour Fiesta: Tandoori Salmon with Spinach, Cucumber and Pickled Onions
I love to surround myself with strong and confident individuals who have found their passion, trust their instincts, and believe in themselves. I guess it just helps me stay positive and stay on track? When I came across Divya and Flavour Fiesta, it was inspiration at first site. I knew I just had to reach…

Eat, Spin, Run, Repeat: My Journey to Clean Eating
I’m so intrigued by Angela’s life story and was happy to find out she’d decided to share it with us while guest posting here on HP. She’s an inspiration to all of us that are trying to find a little slice of health in everyday life. Have a wonderful and loving Valentine’s Day, I’ll see…
Fork and Beans: Chocolate Smooches
With all the planning it took for me to get ready for India; not to mention all the meals I preparing for Kevin for while I was gone, I didn’t get much of a chance to think about Valentine’s Day baking. Thankfully, Cara took one for the team and came up with a deliciously creative…

We’ve been hearing about this place for ages but took over a year to finally check it out. It seemed every time we were in the area and feeling a bit peckish, it was closed! Being that…
Apple Pie Green Smoothie
I should be beaming with excitement at the thought of my 3 week adventure (by myself) to India in just 4 days. But I have to share something with you… this girl isn’t beaming as brightly as she should be! I haven’t exactly shared my feelings about this trip on the blog because; well, I…
Rise and Shine Muffins
While visiting London this past November, a couple of colleagues and I quickly developed a morning ritual of meeting at the Starbucks on Berkeley Street before heading in to the office. Since Starbucks doesn’t offer any gluten-free baked goods; and even if they did, I’m not sure I’d be inclined to pass up a homemade…

We’re down to the wire. I leave for India in less than a week and have just a few last minute things to cross off my to do list – stop by the bank to grab some rupees, confirm my stay at the ashram, buy up some raw granola, pick up a pair of lulu…
