I was so tired yesterday morning that I decided to skip my morning workout, treat myself to a 30 minute sleep in, and prepare a nice breakfast. After enjoying an apple quinoa flake bake, I set the intention that I would find the time in the afternoon for a run. Thankfully, 10 hours later I…
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…
There’s a couple of things I look for in a good snack recipe, naturally sweet freezable. So I can have snacks for weeks to come! on hand ingredients. I have so many goji berries, it’s unreal. fool proof. So what if I added a couple extra dates? The recipe turned out fine. The same cannot…
It’s finally starting to feel like Spring around here. We’ve had a couple of Spring showers, and I even got to walk the dogs at 8pm last night with NO JACKET. Yay! Best part about Spring? Landscaping! We moved into our house just under a year ago and currently have a dirt mud pit for…

Have you ever set out to do something to benefit your health only to realize it’s made you absolutely miserable? Story of my life last week. I began my yeast killing plan last Saturday with the best intentions, but by Tuesday I was exhausted, stressed, consumed by guilt, and craving anything I could get my…
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….
