7 quinoa salads + tips for healthy summer barbecues | Angela Simpson

It’s officially SUMMATIME!!!! Also known as my favourite season of the year. Even though summer solstice was last week, interestingly, it really hasn’t felt super summery here in LA yet! For the past week or so, I’ve walked to the gym in the morning with a misty-like drizzle falling from the sky. It’s definitely not […]

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 […]

Real talk: Last week was a rough one. What specifically was the reason? It was more like a culmination of little things.

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 […]

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 […]

Heirloom Tomato, Cucumber and Quinoa Salad - Eat Spin Run Repeat

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.

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 […]

Shrimp and Quinoa Paella - Eat Spin Run Repeat

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 […]

It’s getting to be that wonderful time of year again. The sun is up longer and the temperatures are rising. Shorts and flip flops are coming out of hibernation, and in my case, so are my shockingly white legs. The prospect of unwinding after work on a patio, lying on the grass in a park, or going […]
