I think one of my favorite things about blogging has been forcing myself to come up with new snack ideas. Of course I have my favorites, but I can’t very well be posting kale chip, strawberry shortcake, and cracker recipes every week, now can I? It’s been nice to start each week off with a…

I may or may not be on a major Mexican kick right now. I can’t seem to get guacamole + fresh salsa in my tummy fast enough. In school, we learned quickly that when we didn’t know the answer to a question like, “list 5 foods that have Vitamin E”, or “List 3 foods that…

Kevin had to work late last night, so the girls and I got to enjoy another ladies night. I came home to a clean house [couldn’t be happier that I busted my buns cleaning the house over the weekend], went for a snow-in-shoe-and-socks walk in the park, and made a Summery dinner to remind myself…

I can’t stop marveling at the weather change and how much sun I’ve been able to soak up since Sunday. I’ve even planned an outdoor long run for Saturday morning. I vote for no more snow until next winter, anyone with me? [It usually snows in May but I’m hopeful that this year will be…

Today marked my last day at the office until the New Year and the completion of our blondies in a jar Christmas gift project. I got to the office at 6am and hustled to get everything done so I could leave with a clear mind at the end of the day. I topped the day…

On Tuesday night I treated myself to a raw chocolate making class at the Light Cellar in Bowness, Calgary. When signing up for the class I was told I’d be eating loads of chocolate and if you know me you know I love my chocolate, so getting excited for this course was an easy task….
