It dawned on me recently that it’s been since August since I last posted a recipe with ‘salad’ in the title. AUGUST. Guys. Who AM I? As someone who gets irritable on a day without vegetables, I don’t know how I let this happen. What kind of healthy food blogger goes months without posting salads?! I […]
Grab your spiralizers because it’s time to make some noodles! Sweet potato noodles, that is. Normally you’ll find me eating my sweet potatoes sprinkled in cinnamon and drizzled in almond butter, but in the name of switching things up, let’s do them in noodle form today. On a side note though, if you’ve never tried sweet […]
Back in 2011 I found myself ready to trade in my first car, a black 2-door Honda Civic, for a newer, less university student-esque model. I did my research, had many conversations with a dude at work who was super into cars, and eventually narrowed down the choices. The final pick was a Toyota Rav-4 – […]
I’m baaaaaaaaaaack! Did you have a fabulous Christmas full of all things lovely and delicious? I certainly did, and with my mum still here visiting from Ontario, I’ve got a couple more days off work to show her around the city. Unplugging from blogging for a week was 100% a great decision I feel so good […]
Yesterday morning I set out on what should have been a lovely sunrise run along the sea wall. The beach was on my left side, the park was on my right, and a few fellow early morning enthusiasts shared the path with me. About 15 minutes in, I was just getting into my meditative running groove when […]
Tofu is anything but boring in this delicious, flavour-packed Thai Peanut Tofu Buddha Bowl. It’s dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan and loaded with fresh vegetables for a healthy, satiating lunch or dinner. This one’s going down as approximately the 11th recipe on the blog that involves nut butter in the form of a sauce or dressing, and at the risk […]
Lately it seems that a large influx of travel-related promo emails have been landing in my inbox. I don’t open many, but skimming the subject lines has been triggering thoughts about epic vacations, exotic beaches and luxurious resorts. Add to this the fact that Wanderlust Whistler happened this weekend, plus the stream of Facebook photos that give me a glimpse into all of the […]
Guess who’s mouth wants to eat nothing but salmon this week? This girl’s. But first, a story. Back when I started my new (or not so new any more) job in April, I was at the beach with a couple of my co-workers and we were discussing our favourite food treats. Their answers included some […]
Welcome to day 2 of Smoothie Week! In case you missed Monday’s post, here’s a quick catch up: Yesterday was National Smoothie Day and rather than just spending one day celebrating my favourite blended bevvy, you’re in for an entire week (well, 3 posts) of smoothie recipes, pro tips, and giveaways. Today I want to […]
You know when you open up Instagram and discover that it’s National <insert random thing here> Day? Usually these events sneak up on me and before you know it, it’ll be 7pm and I’ll find out I’ve missed out on almost an entire day of celebrating wonderful creations like peanut butter (January 24th), pajamas (April 16th) […]
