I was concerned that eating more mindfully would take a long time to make a difference, but changes are happening!! I wake up easier in the morning, my nails are stronger, and my bowel movements are normal. I know it seems like TMI but bowel movements are so important! That’s how we get rid of toxins and how your gut…

My kids used to hate sweet potato, but they love this recipe! Plus, this spiced smashed sweet potato recipe takes around ten-fifteen minutes to make, depending on the size of the vegetable, so it’s an easy weeknight solution. They are so easy that they have become a bit of a go-to for me and the kids are getting sick of…

My kids are so picky at breakfast time! They don’t even seem hungry when they wake up. I always find them playing or reading! Often, I have to find them and drag them to the table.

Food! Eating! As human animals, we can’t escape it. My mom always jokes that she wishes that we could just take a pill every day, instead of thinking of meals three times a day. I like food, especially comfort food on long days or during bad weather and there has been a lot of that lately. We are coming out…

I have been eating gluten-free for a few years now. I am by no means an expert, but I do feel that I have some tricks and tips up my sleeve and love to share, so here we go! First, a little background. Why am I gluten-free? A few years ago, I suffered an extremely harsh bout of food poisoning,…

Happy January everyone! Did you make New Year’s Resolutions? How are you doing at keeping them? I made promises to myself to make some big life changes, out of necessity to my physical health and mental sanity. This very important motivation made it easy for me to stick to my goals, so far. These last couple of weeks have been…

If you live in Calgary like I do, you have already lived through a taste of winter. On the southeast side, it was a couple of days of bitter cold, with a good dose of icy wind and blowing snow. Of course, now it is warm out again and the sun is shining….because we live in the Wild West out…
