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 [...]
It dawned on me recently that it's been since August since I last posted a recipe with 'salad' in the title. AUGUST. Guys. Who AM I? As someone who gets irritable on a day without vegetables, I don't know how I let this happen. What kind of healthy food blogger goes months without posting salads?! I [...]
Yesterday morning I set out on what should have been a lovely sunrise run along the sea wall. The beach was on my left side, the park was on my right, and a few fellow early morning enthusiasts shared the path with me. About 15 minutes in, I was just getting into my meditative running groove when [...]
Lately it seems that a large influx of travel-related promo emails have been landing in my inbox. I don't open many, but skimming the subject lines has been triggering thoughts about epic vacations, exotic beaches and luxurious resorts. Add to this the fact that Wanderlust Whistler happened this weekend, plus the stream of Facebook photos that give me a glimpse into all of the [...]
Hello from Bahrain, one last time! Pretty soon I’ll be on my way home, stopping one more time in London to stay with my sister before flying back to Vancouver. For the majority of this trip the wifi at my dad’s house has been having problems (as in it hasn’t worked) so my plan for a [...]
