Blood, sweat and tears went into my dinner on Monday night. For real. Picture this: It's the last day of the Thanksgiving long weekend. I get home from a coffee date with a friend, toss my keys on the counter, take of my shoes, change into my PJs (#priorities), and open the fridge to figure [...]
This post is sponsored by iHerb. I’m baaaaack! Did you miss me? 😉 I hope you guys enjoyed getting to know Emma, Mandy and Davida in the last three guest posts. They're pretty awesome gals, don't ya think? My brain and body are a little on the confused side today since I'm trying to adjust back [...]
For as long as I can remember, my younger sister and I have always been responsible for making our school lunches. It was something my mum established as a norm for us growing up - a non-negotiable. To this day, I've always been more of a lunch packer than someone who eats out. You might [...]
Oh HIIIII! How's your week going? The end of August is coming fast and furious, and I can't believe I'm going to be off to Hawaii in a couple of weeks. Time seems to be flying past but I'm so not ready for summer to end. If you follow me on Instagram, you might have [...]
I hope you like lots of COLOURSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! Today's post is a quickie because this has been one heck of a busy week so far. Yesterday marked the beginning of 29 for me, and the celebrations left me convinced that I know some of the most wonderful people in the world. Even though I worked on [...]
Alternate title 1: A bowl full of my favourite things. Alternate title 2: What I'd like to eat for my last meal. For the salad course, anyway. Alternate title 3: The salad that your summer just won't be complete without. We're coming up on August, and this weekend I found myself reminiscing with a friend about [...]
This salad is one that you'll want to eat all summer long, but I'll tell you why in a minute. First, I have an announcement.... Anti-Inflammatory Eating 101 is here! Hot off the PDF-publishing press, this is the latest downloadable guide to be added to my shop and I am super excited to [...]
.... soon to be known as the BEST tabbouleh you've ever tasted. I've talked a bit before about how when I lived in the Middle East, I never really had a true appreciation for some of their amazing dishes that I do now. Don't get me wrong - I loved a good shawarma just as [...]
We'll get to the Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna Salad of my dreams (soon to be that of your dreams, too) in just a second. First, I've got an update and announcement to share. A little peek into the inner workings of my mind, you might call it. If you caught Monday's goal check-in post, you [...]
Fun fact: May is National Strawberry Month! To be honest, with spring arriving so late it feels early to be celebrating fruits but alas, here we are and I will take ANY reason to eat more strawberries. Smoothies, blended into banana soft serve, dipped in chocolate, straight-up on their own, mixed into salads... I don't discriminate. [...]
I can't even begin to tell you how excited I was upon tasting the first bite of this recipe. But first, the reason behind it. To be completely honest, I had no idea what Cinco de Mayo was until I became a food blogger. Like the Superbowl, I think it's an occasion that many people [...]
As my fellow Canadians will know, we talk a lot about the weather. This March, it rained every day except for two, and Vancouver set a new record for the most rainfall the city has seen since 1956. Easter Sunday was gloriously sunny, but so far it's been another soggy grey week. Mother Nature is clearly [...]
Lately I've been doing a lot of talking about meal prep and making it easy to maintain healthy eating habits on a consistent basis. It never fails, however, that I get the question, "But Angela, what if there comes a weekend when I'm away and just can't dedicate ANY time to doing ANY prep for [...]
Let's chat about detoxing. Whenever you hear the term, what do you think of? If you're like me, your mind probably goes to food - or lack thereof. Maybe you think of: juice cleanses liquid diets lemon water with cayenne cabbage soup chlorella tablets laying off the sugar, caffeine and booze All these things have become pretty [...]
