The Best Hummus Recipe
About 30 years ago I was introduced to hummus. Never having grown up with it, I considered it strange especially since my mother-in-law brought it over from the middle east. My husband’s parents lived in Abu Dhabi for 10 years and my MIL learned to cook some of their traditional recipes. Needless to say, I […]

The fruit in summer is so good and this Summer Berry Granola is the perfect summer treat! Fresh peaches, blueberries, nectarines, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, apricots, cherries…so many to choose from. Today’s recipe is inspired by summer fruits. This granola is a very easy recipe to create and there are so many options! With locally grown […]
Taco Salad, Family Favorite
Back in the day, our mother served us a “Canadian Style” Taco Salad, and we LOVED it. Once I had children of my own, I called my mom, got the recipe, made it and served it to my kids and they LOVED it. I have given this recipe to many friends and they served it […]
Zion National Park Itinerary Revealed
Recently, Tracy and I, (I’m Tracy’s sister, Dianna Fast), hiked in Zion National Park, Utah, USA. Taking a couple of days to relax, recreate and get away “from it all” was actually a good way to concentrate on the “Wellness” part of our lives, which can so often be neglected. It’s easy to remember to […]
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
There’s nothing like a really good tasting soup. This Roasted Butternut Squash Soup is great for lunch or for one of those “fancy little soups” that you get before a meal. And let me tell you, it’s delicious and, for the most part, pretty simple to put together. The key to this soup is the […]
Chocolate Peanut Butter Almond Bites
Ok, let me just say, this is so worth making! No sugar, no dairy and no flour dessert bites that taste amazing! I’ve even had my kids and friends test these and eveyone thought they were delicious. When you find something this good, you just need to make it. It’s a simple 3 part recipe. […]
Roasted Cauliflower Bites with Garlic Mayo
Almost any dish can be made with fewer calories or with less unhealthy “stuff”. Take these cauliflower bites for example, at a restaurant they are likely coated in flour and/or a batter of some sort and deep fried. What starts out as a fresh vegetable that is lower in calories and good for you, has […]
Brownie and Peanut Butter Baked Oats
Well, I was impressed. I wasn’t sure that I would like these, but not only did I like them, I loved them! Yep, they are that good. I’ve seen these all over Tik Tok and Instagram and knew I had to put my own spin on them. My biggest reason for writing this post […]
No Bake Peanut Fudge Protein Bars
I recently read the Consumer Report article on protein powders. It was eye opening to say the least. One of the things that I’ve talked to my members about frequently is that there is only the need for supplementation, when you are not getting an adequate amount of that supplement in your diet through […]
Beet Borscht
Beet Borscht. Growing up in a partly German family, I learned that I liked a lot of their traditional foods, including Beet Borscht. One of my favorite treats was Roll Kuchen with watermelon. Roll Kuchen is a deep fried yeast dough, much like a donut, so needless to say, I don’t eat that anymore unless […]
