In my role as a nutrition/weight loss specialist I’ve noticed that many people seem to have no problem eating well during regular meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) but when it comes to snacks they fall all to pieces. They don’t have anything pre-planned for snacks so they start eating whatever they can grab, or find themselves […]
Celebrating Chinese New Year With Fake-Out Take-Out!
Get ready to celebrate! This coming Thursday (February 19th) is Chinese New Year, and this year is the Year Of The Goat. If you are like me and live in an area that doesn’t have Chinese New Year celebrations, that doesn’t mean you can’t invite a few friends over and have your own party, complete […]
“But I Don’t Want To”itis
It’s a real thing, I swear. Everyday, at least once a day someone tells me, “But I don’t want to drink so much water” “I don’t life to eat vegetables.” “I don’t want to exercise.” “I know I should eat better, but I don’t want to eat like a bird. I’d rather eat fries!” I don’t […]

No More Cheat Days!!
Yup, you read that correctly, no more cheat days. Zero. Zilch. None. But it’s not what you think. It’s not the cheat day or meal that I have an issue with, it’s the word “cheat”.
T’was The Saturday Before Christmas
I’m pretty sure everyone is out shopping or wrapping gifts right now, but just in case there are some procrastinators still hanging out on the Internet I thought I’d throw up a post this morning! First things first, the December Yoga Challenge with Champion wrapped up (pun intended) today, and the most active participant was […]
Make Movie Night Better
I’m so darn close to being on vacation I can taste it! And that means that I am getting ready to snuggle in and watch all of my favourite Christmas movies while sitting next to our stove, looking at Christmas decorations, and eating snacks. And what pairs better with a movie than popcorn? For the […]
There Ain’t No Part Like A PC Party…
‘Cuz a PC party is full of food! In case you now have “S Club Party” playing in your head and need to listen to the rocking tune here you go 😉 This past Tuesday myself along with a number of other Nova Scotian bloggers were invited to the President’s Choice Holiday party. I went to […]
Solo Energy Bars Review + Giveaway
I’ve made it no secret around here that I’m a hard customer when it comes to protein powder and protein bars. Up until now the only protein bar I’ve ever liked at all was the SunRype bars I wrote about last month. That was until I tried SOLO Energy bars. I have a hard time […]
Peanut Butter Bar Cookies
This past weekend I got it in my head that I wanted to make some bar cookies. I have a recipe that I love, but it has three different kinds of chips (chocolate. white chocolate and peanut butter) in it so I knew I’d have to make some changes. The peanut butter chips could have […]
