Mantra for this week: Eat spring-like foods, and spring will come faster. One can dream, right? This past weekend was a gloriously sunny one here in Vancouver, a welcome contrast to a very wet start to the year. I've noticed lately how much my body has been craving the outdoors, breathing fresh air and soaking [...]
Oooooh guys this is a deeeelicious one! Since it's a fresh new year, I figured today would be a perfect time to share these Moroccan Grain Bowls with Harissa Orange Chicken that I've had in my weekly meal prep repertoire for the past couple of months. Don't get me wrong - I'm allll about the [...]
And just like that, Christmas is over. It's crazy how fast it passes, isn't it? If you've been celebrating, I hope you had a wonderful time with your friends and family, with plenty of love, laughs and relaxation. As I mentioned last week, I spent a few days with my dad in Victoria, creating some [...]
Let's talk about routines. I'm sure many of you, like me, are total creatures of habit. This can sometimes work to our detriment if always doing the same thing over and over again lands us in a rut that we just can't climb out of. On the other hand, routines definitely have their perks. We [...]
Real talk: Last week was a rough one. What specifically was the reason? It was more like a culmination of little things. Working in corporate retail means that we're currently in the biggest quarter of the year - the one with the largest amount of work, the biggest demands, the highest revenue expectations and the [...]
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 [...]
