Grab your spiralizer and brace yourself for oooooooooooodles of noodles! But first….. a story. About my hair. My hair has always been pretty straight, but it’s also suuuuper thick and this has been the case for my entire life. When I was little, I was that girl with the blunt bangs that started at the very […]
Recently I was having a conversation with a friend about travelling on airplanes. She’d just come back from a trip, had landed just a few hours earlier, and was in desperate need of a nap and a shower (her words, not my judgment.) We started talking about our tricks for reducing that I’ve-just-been-sitting-on-a-plane-for-hours-and-feel-like-a-hot-mess feeling that I […]
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 […]
This weekend I had what I like to call a house cat Saturday and it was marvellous. You see, on most weekends, I’m all about being outside, seeing friends, relaxing and going on adventures. Having been in Vancouver a year (where does time go!?) I’ve definitely found some favourite spots, but there are still tons […]
Hoooooooooly smokes, has this ever been a wild week – and it’s only Wednesday! Firstly, thank you guys SO much for all of your amazing comments and emails in response to my news on Monday. I’m so grateful to have such supportive readers, and your notes totally made my day. Seriously, THE BEST = YOU. You […]
Oh HI! I have salad to share with you today, but we’ll get to that in a second. Have you ever experienced a moment where you’ve felt completely, ridiculously, unbelievably grateful and happy for everything about your life? To the point where you practically wake up with a smile on your face and, just like a […]
You know how ‘they’ say that good things come in threes? I’m finding more and more reasons these days to believe that it’s very true. Example 1: Triathlon. Three sports – swimming, cycling and running – all tied into one challenging but supremely rewarding race. Training for such an event requires not only cardiovascular endurance, but […]
Originally published January 2016, updated September 2017 Alright friends. Do me a quick favour. Take a peek outside. What do you see? Probably not sunflower seeds, I know. But unless you live somewhere nice and hot where winter doesn’t exist, my guess is that white and various shades of gray and brown might be what […]
This Rosemary Rainbow Carrot and Lentil Salad is a perfect way to showcase some of fall’s best produce! Lentils provide plant-based protein and iron, making this dish satisfying and packed with nutrition benefits. It’s post-Thanksgiving both north and south of the border now, and – oh wait – it’s also December! Not long now folks – […]
Remember when Brussels sprouts were the vegetable that nobody except your grandma liked? I think it’s safe to say that the B-sprout is having a moment – or perhaps even a decade. Every fall I go absolutely nuts for Brussels sprouts, roasting enough baking trays of the balsamic-coated little gems as I possibly can. You […]
