Hummus Party Dip Platter
Have you ever said “That looks too good to eat”? Oh my, I was saying that about this hummus platter. This looks sooooo good and tastes amazing. Plus, it’s one of those dishes that is so versatile, you can create a different look and flavor every time. Hummus is quite a thick dip, so […]
Bananas Foster Chia Pudding
Sometimes it’s all about the ambiance. My mom always orders a Bellini every time we go out because it always comes in a fancy martini glass. She rarely finishes it, but she orders it…because of the fancy glass! When a dish looks cute, adorable, fancy, or fun, we just want to eat it! That’s how […]
Chicken and Veggie Lime Crockpot Soup
Well, I suppose that I have to accept that fact that fall…actually winter is right around the corner. 🙁 However, there is a silver lining to colder weather and that is soup! Soup is the silver lining. I actually grew up on Campbell’s tomato and mushroom soup. It seemed like every Sunday after church, we […]
Tex Mex Zucchini Boats
I am loving this dish! For me, one of the best things is that it is a perfect portion size and it lasts in the fridge 3 days so I can bake them up on Sunday and have a few left over for my weekly lunches. This past week I prepped these boats and the […]
Plant-Based Meal Prep Bowls
Here’s the thing. There is enough evidence out there to indicate that a nutrition plan based on whole foods, lean proteins, complex carbohydrates (today we are focusing on high micronutrient dense vegetables) and healthy fats is the way to better health. I certainly have read and listened to a lot lately to convince me that […]
PUMPKIN CHIA POWER BALLS
I asked on my Instagram account lately, “What is more difficult for you: Exercise or Nutrition?” The response was overwhelmingly, nutrition! And it’s no wonder. Did you know that we have at least 200 or more thoughts surrounding food each day? That’s a fair amount of time thinking about food. Compound that with an overwhelming […]

What I Eat In A Day To Stay Fit And Healthy!
I am always looking for new recipes! I have my go-to’s, of course, just like everyone, but when I really feel energized (believe me, it takes a lot of energy), I hit the web to try and find a recipe to match the ingredients in my house. This first recipe was inspired by a pit […]
Paleo Bacon and Yam Breakfast Casserole
Well, let’s just say right off the hop that this dish may have a few ingredients in it that fussy family members won’t like. Perfect. More for me! Yams, Brussel sprouts, nutritional yeast! These ingredients ARE the reason I made this recipe. Healthy, nutritious and with a wide depth of flavors, you top it off […]
Chocolate Banana Almond Butter Cookies (Paleo)
I asked Q (hubby) the other day if he ever thought about his parents when he moved out of the house for the first time. If I remember correctly, I thought about mine all the time, especially my mom. I was 18 and moved across Canada to go to school. I called her as often […]
