I’ve got a niiiiiiiiiice cozy one for you this week. You know those days where it’s grey and drizzly and dreary outside, when you want to curl up and hide from the world in your jammies under a fort of fluffy pillows and blankets, mug of tea in one hand and a good book in the […]
Ever since starting this blog in my early 20s, I’ve been incredibly fascinated by health, nutrition and fitness. This interest has been the biggest driver behind my decisions to enrol in the fitness and nutrition certification programs I’ve taken on so far, and it’s also one of the reasons this blog exists today. After all, I’m sure […]
Here’s a question for all my fellow seafood lovers out there: Have you ever noticed that when you cook salmon, there’s often white stuff oozing out of the sides? It’s not pretty, that’s for sure – especially when it comes to trying to take good photos for blogging purposes. This culinary conundrum is one that […]
It’s about to get all fancy shmancy up in heeerrrrrrrre. From time to time, I’ll crawl Pinterest and discover recipes that look like they’ve taken hours to put together. While impressive and mouthwatering, the realist in me knows that there’s no way I’d last trying to replicate these – especially if I was hungry while doing so. However, […]
I had almost just as much fun acquiring the ingredients for this week’s recipe as I did actually eating it. Let me explain. Recently I was catching up on an episode of The Good Life Project, a show that has been on my list of weekend must-listen podcasts for years now. The guest was the woman who […]
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 […]
Today’s recipe isn’t one I originally intended to post. Over the weekend I was working on a reader’s request for a sweet yet healthy snack, and everything was going perfectly until I took said snack out of the oven. It had been a while since my last big recipe fail, and I guess it was just […]
Get ready friends, because we’re about to get all fusion cuisine up in heeeeeere. I’ve talked a lot in the past about my pre-university life living in the Middle East, and looking back at the foods my family ate, they were primarily of North American, Asian, Arabic and Indian influence. Our Sri Lankan and Indian housemaids […]
Ever since I moved out of my university dorm and had a place to call my own, one of my favourite things to do is host friends for dinner. I think the origins of this interest comes from watching one of my aunts, who has been the definition of hostess with the mostest for as long […]
Earlier this week I talked all about my mini weekend getaway to Banff, courtesy of Banff & Lake Louise Tourism. The experience was an amazing opportunity to get away from my usual routine, see all that Banff has to offer in terms of health and wellness, and I came back feeling far more energized and refreshed.
