Did you know that March is designated as Nurtrition Month? Who knew? I wonder if it has anything to do with the prospect of nicer weather as we crawl out of our winter cocoons and realize that summer is just around the corner! Nothing screams "EAT BETTER!!" than realizing bathing suit season is only a couple of months away! While many people I know try to cut back on eating the ooey gooey good stuff like cheese to lose weight, it's actually really good for you and is a nutritious … [Read more...]

Like many of you, I vowed to get back on track this January after a month long indulgence of eating holiday sweets, eats and savoury treats. It was evident by both the scale and our jeans that the holidays had taken a toll on our waistlines, but my husband and I were ready to start the new year with a fresh start at eating healthy. Eating healthy doesn't have to mean giving up the things you love, it just means you need to watch your portion size and make smarter choices. There are … [Read more...]

Christmas is just days away and everyone is looking forward to that delicious Turkey dinner! Gathering around the table with loved ones is one of my favourite parts about the holidays! There is something special about looking down the table and seeing family faces from infancy (we have a new baby in the family) to Grandparents (don't worry mom, I won't tell them your age!). Year after year, our family grows! While the turkey kind of steals the show, there is no reason for the … [Read more...]

I'm not a big fan of the routine day to day cooking and gladly hand over the reigns to the Hubster when the weekend rolls around, but I do get excited over trying out new products and recipes in the kitchen.

Weeknight dinners can be rushed and boring, and side dishes to be honest get a little stale around here. I have come up with a simple way to dress up a can of green beans so that you forget you are eating the same old thing! No really, if you are tossing together dinner and are at a loss for what to do for the veggie, this is really as easy as it gets and tastes really good, it even looks a little fancy too! Go ahead, dress those beans up! My husband is always a little impressed with … [Read more...]

Marinated Carrots are the perfect holiday dinner time-saver because you can make these a day or two ahead. Marinated Carrots is a recipe that both my mom and my mother in law has been making for years! Not being a very popular recipe, I was super surprised to find that my husband's family included Marinated Carrots in all of their festive meals as well! Match made in heaven? I think so! I've had a few friends turn up their noses when they … [Read more...]
