Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and while I’m not big on Valentine’s Day stuff (I’m generally not into buying cards and we rarely do gifts – normally it’s a dinner & movie sort of night for us), but because of work schedules we often “celebrate” on a day other than February 14th. This year […]
Meal Prep 101
It’s January, which means there are a lot of people who are re-focusing and thinking more about their nutrition and eating habits. The only way to be successful at eating well and staying on track (whatever your track may be) is by planning. We’ve all heard the saying, “failing to plan is a plan to fail,” […]
Dark Chocolate Cookie Butter Blondie Bars
Everyone seems to have those few holiday specific recipes that they are known for, and that you will be in trouble by family members if you should show up for Christmas or Easter or whenever without. These blondie bars are so good they will undoubtably be considered a must-have my your family once they try […]
12 Days of Smoothies Recipes + A Giveaway
It’s a rare Sunday post because I have some awesome things to share today! First of all, for any of you who follow me on Instagram or Facebook you’ll have seen my 12 Days of Smoothies posts these past two weeks. Well, it’s now the 13th so my 12 days are up, but the excitement […]
Black Forest Stuffed French Toast
This is one of those recipes you can make about once every 6 months without feeling badly about it. And I sort of think it would make the prefect Christmas Day brunch item, because we all know – all bets are off on Christmas day. Right? Right. (hover your mouse over the photo to pin […]
Easy Spinach Dip And Prosciutto Appetizers
December is officially in full swing which means most of us have at least one party or potluck we will be hosting or going to, and coming up with fun (and tasty) finger foods can be time-consuming. First trying to come up with an idea of what to make, and then to actually go out […]
5-Day Healthy Living Challenge
Happy (early) Thanksgiving to all of my American friends! Here in Canada we celebrated Thanksgiving in October so we are in full holiday mode. My husband doesn’t let me decorate until December 1st (and rightly so, otherwise I’d have had the tree up for over a month already, haha) but I am well into holiday […]
GoMacro Giveaway
Happy Tuesday! Thank you to everyone who has sent me messages and comments hoping that I feel better. For anyone who doesn’t know I’m sick with bronchitis and a lung infection, which is a pretty nasty combo when your job is teaching exercise classes. I was off most of last week, and now this week I […]
Look In The Mirror And #OwnIt All!
A few weeks ago I shared with you how I was inspired by Special K’s new #OwnIt campaign to start being nicer to myself. That I was going to honour my body and #OwnIt instead of punishing it when things didn’t go the way I wanted, and I wanted you to do the same. Today […]
Sausage And Mushroom Pretzel Pizza
I am a sucker for a pretzel roll. And soft pretzels in general. If we are out for supper and I’m looking at burgers and one is on a pretzel roll, you can almost guarantee I’ll order it. There is just something about the salty, chewy goodness that gets me every time. So how it has […]
