Over the weekend I flew to Calgary for the wedding of one of my childhood besties. It was a quick trip, only a 1-hour flight, and all the celebrations were a ton of fun. On Sunday morning my mum and I were up at 6 and on our way to the airport to catch our flights […]
Happy humpday! Today’s actually more like a Thursday for me because tomorrow I’ll be jet setting alllll the way over to Calgary. 1 hour flight = totally not jet setting, but let’s pretend. It’s been over 5 years since I last visited my home province of Alberta, and about 10 since my last trip to […]
Originally published September 2015, updated September 2017. Let’s talk about lunch. Back in the day when I was a little kiddie, my mum had my sister and I packing our own school lunches. This was an activity we had to do each evening, not in the morning before dashing out the door, or else we risked losing […]
You know when you come back from vacation and your kitchen feels a bit like foreign territory because you haven’t cooked a meal in it for so long? That’s sort of how I felt when I woke up on Monday morning. Normally my cutting board and favourite knife barely have time to try before their […]
Hey there! How’s your day going? I have to admit, all the training I did last week and over the weekend left me waking up feeling less than fabulous on Monday. You know when you wish you could have another weekend to recover from the weekend? Yeah, it was one of those Mondays. It wasn’t that my […]
Hey friends! How’s your week going? Mine has been lovely so far – busy with work, but training is ramping back up after an easy-ish post-race week, and call me masochistic but I really do love the grit, the sweat, and the hard work! I think most self-labeled endurance athletes would probably say something similar. […]
I don’t know about where you are, but it’s been très chaud here in Vancouver. After a lunch date with a friend this weekend, I walked back to my car and upon putting my key in the ignition, saw a ’37 C’ staring back at me. (It wasn’t really that hot – within a few minutes it […]
There’s way more to this week’s recipe than just quinoa and greens, but I’ll tell you all about it in just a second. First, picture yourself melting into a warm cushioned lounge chair in the most beautiful, spa-like backyard you’ve ever seen. The sun is soaking into your skin, but there’s just the right amount of breeze […]
Hey there friends! How’s your week going? I got back from my cousin’s wedding in Michigan late Tuesday night, and it was so much fun catching up with my mum, sister and extended family. The ceremony was gorgeous, the reception was a ton of fun, and the food was awesome. This was actually the first […]
Originally published May 2015, updated September 2017. As you can tell from the title of this post, kale slaw is on the menu today. But it’s not just any kale salad. After Monday’s 20 spring salad recipes, I wanted to bring you a brand new one that will totally knock your socks off – even if you’ve never […]
