Photo Credit Sorry for all the bean recipes lately, but I made a big batch of my Easy Slow Cooker Black Beans recently so I’ve been thinking of all the different ways I can use them! This recipe was inspired by last night’s Grey Cup game. My hubbie was excited to watch, and I wanted […]

Black Bean and Goat Cheese Dip
Photo Credit It’s been awhile since I’ve posted a recipe because quite frankly I haven’t had much time to experiment in the kitchen since Max was born in June, but I made my Black Bean and Goat Cheese dip the other day, and realized it’s not up on the blog! I love this dip because […]
Smart Snacking. Do Good. Love With Food
Ok I know I said I would be taking a break from writing, but a couple weeks ago I was approached by a company called Love With Food, a snack discovery service that just announced it will begin shipping to Canada on August 2nd, and they wanted me to share the good news, and I couldn’t say no. […]
Easy Juicy Roast Chicken
Photo Credit One of the go-to meals in our house is a free-from roast chicken from Superstore with sweet potato fries and a salad. We have it every Monday. It’s easy, and provides leftovers for lunch the next day. Unfortunately, the free-from chickens aren’t available all the time, and I want to avoid the giant hormone […]
Baby Superfood Smoothie
Jack enjoying his first smoothie! I introduced Jack to solid food 2 months ago, and it’s been an interesting experience so far. I mentioned in a previous post that I was going to try and avoid purees (as per the Baby Led Weaning method), but I’ve discovered over the last couple months that it’s […]
Dutch “Hutspot” with Kale & Sausage
“Hutspot” also known as mashed potatoes & carrots is a traditional Dutch recipe that my dad always used to make us when we were kids. He would make it for us on Halloween in the hopes of getting something healthy & filling into us before eating tons of candy. He got the recipe from my […]
Healthy Holiday Desserts
Since Jack was 10 weeks old I’ve been attending a great mommy & baby fitness class once a week. In the warmer months we did a stroller fit in the park, and now the class has moved indoors to a dance studio. Both classes include an hour workout and songs & rhymes for the kids after, and the […]
Healthy Fresh-Baked Bread
Like I said in my previous post, living a healthy lifestyle is all about finding healthy alternatives to your not-so-healthy favourites. Unlike following a strict diet, this approach allows you to enjoy food again and not deprive yourself or feel guilty after eating. A favourite of mine is fresh, warm bread right out of the […]
Spaghetti Squash Lasagna
Sorry for the break in posts, but it’s hard to find time to write while taking care of a 7-month old baby boy – this post took me a week to write – yikes. My dad is starting to come over once a week to play with Jack so I hope to get posts out on a more […]
Easy Summer Quinoa Salad
I can’t believe it’s officially summer already! This time of year always makes me crave fresh, cooling foods, and as I mentioned in my last post; lately it’s all about foods that are easy to prepare, and healthy. The other day I looked around my kitchen, and threw together an easy quinoa salad that is […]
