A couple facts for ya’ll on life lately: It’s been a hella cold winter here in Calgary, like frigid. It’s also that time of year when everyone’s trying to eat more salads and whatnot. It’s too cold for salad. Truth. This warm Roasted Vegetable Quinoa Salad is getting me through… no joke. It’s toasty, herby, warm, … [Read more…]
Superfood Bites. Yep, it’s the new year, and it’s time to kick things up a bit and become a superhero, food wise.

I told myself … [Read more…]
Don’t you just loveeee winter?! Just kidding, it can be pretty terrible. Once the holidays have passed, the decorations have come down and the novelty of snow has gone away, it’s pretty dreary. Moving to Calgary, everyone told me I had to learn to ski to get through the winter. And guess what, I tried. I attempted … [Read more…]
Ahhhh.. lazy weekends. With a baby on the way I am soaking these up like nobody’s business.

If you’re reading this, I’m gonna bet you’re a granola fan, like me! Whoop! My love for cereal, particularly granola, comes from my mom and I having a mutual understanding that anytime one of us is eating cereal, the other is automatically entitled to a bite. Kinda weird, maybe gross, but it’s our thing. We … [Read more…]
Who doesn’t like Caramel Corn?! Oh, my husband doesn’t. But who ate ALL of this during each recipe trial? Oh yeah, my husband did. See where I’m going with this?
