As a child I LOVED the indian version of rice pudding that my mom would make. White rice, milk, brown sugar, slivered almonds-glorious flavour explosion that I would eat by the bowl full which would now make me extremely ill and cause me to need new jeans. I made “Volume Oats” the other day from [...]
WOWWWW!!! I felt like I hit the jack pot when I found this recipe. I am a fan of bananas but I don’t like them straight up. On greek yogurt, mixed in my oats, on a rice cake or protein pancake or in a shake are the ways I usually enjoy my bananas UNTIL..I saw [...]
In my never ending effort to get more vegetable in my belly I have been experimenting with different ways to eat them. Whatever i’m doing must be working because this past weekend I was in Vancouver and after only two days of being off my regular eating pattern I was CRAVING vegetables. I know that [...]
As per usual I hit up Natures Fare for a little veggie loving the other day. I got the Broccoli salad and I liked it so much that I went to Cosco and purchased a ginormous pre cut bag of this glorious vegetable to make my own version. Check out this link to read more [...]
Lately my training schedule has changed. The 6:00am class at Addicted has gotten so crazy busy that I am unable to attend class at that time. For me personally getting up and getting my workout done in the am is super efficient. There is no time to think about it, alarm goes off-you make the [...]
This past weekend my best bud Jayme and I ran a 10km race with the “Fresh Air Experience Race for Women.” Jayme had her first child nine months ago and when I mentioned this race was happening in our backyard she was all about doing it with me….stroller and all. There was also a 1km [...]
This is one of my favourite summer snack recipes, super healthy and simple to make. As you know avocados are a kick ass source of healthy fats BUT you must practice portion control – one medium sized avo packs about 22 grams of fat. Rather than make a classic guacamole where going overboard on the [...]

During my accident recovery I was doing little to no activity and therefore required less carbohydrates in my diet. Although this was the case there was NO way I was able to wrap my head around eating straight egg whites everyday for my entire recovery time. Breakfast is probably my favorite meal of the day-I [...]
I LOVE Natures Fare. I know I have expressed this fact before but god does that place make me happy, especially the deli. The other day between work and a 3 hour work shop on how to use the Smart Board I have in my classroom (I am beyond technologically challenged) I ripped into Natures [...]
