We’ve all been brain-washed by those milk moustache commercials to believe that milk is the only way to get calcium and that dairy is necessary for a healthy diet. I’m here to let you know, that’s just not true! While calcium is an important mineral for health, it’s certainly not the only mineral important for … [Read more…]
Wouldn’t it be so nice to start each day with a cold-pressed green juice?! Unfortunately buying one every day is not in my $ budget right now and getting my own juicer and cleaning it out every day is just not in my time budget right now. Ah.. maybe one day I’ll have peaceful mornings … [Read more…]
I’ve had a great time testing and perfecting this no-bake brownie recipe. I mean, I pretty much need a chocolate fix on the daily and this is it! Totally feels like a decadent treat but really it’s just an awesome source of some pretty important nutrients. Cacao is an amazing source of antioxidants, iron, magnesium, … [Read more…]

It’s about that time for another granola recipe!! And I’m kinda kicking myself for not making this sooner, as in, for Christmas, because it’s got those quintessential Christmas flavours of orange, cinnamon and cranberries. Yes, yes and yum. But since winter pretty much goes on forever when you live in Calgary and I’ve been craving … [Read more…]
Superfood Bites. Yep, it’s the new year, and it’s time to kick things up a bit and become a superhero, food wise. I’ll admit, being pregnant over the holidays this year, I allowed myself to….well lets just say, indulge, in holiday treats and chocolates a little more than I would normally have. I told myself … [Read more…]
Who doesn’t like Caramel Corn?! Oh, my husband doesn’t. But who ate ALL of this during each recipe trial? Oh yeah, my husband did. See where I’m going with this? It’s good, it’s NATURALLY SWEETENED, and even people who “don’t like caramel corn” like it. I’m not going to pretend this is healthy or that you should … [Read more…]
