  • An Easy Dinner (or Lunch) Idea for a Busy September

    September is a word that is synonymous with getting back into routine. I don’t know how everyone is managing; however, September has been very chaotic for me. It’s nice that the children are back at school but I am still getting used to the morning rush (of getting them to school) and the after school…

  • How to Protect Your Immune System During Covid-19

    2020 certainly has been quite the year so far. There is certainly a lot of information to digest on social media right now but I thought it was important to revisit Covid-19. When I first heard about Coronavirus or Covid 19, I really did not think the pandemic would last as long as it has.…

  • Fail Proof Two Bite Treats

    Yes- I say fail proof treats because I never considered myself a great baker (I still would say I am a very amateur baker) so trust me when I say that if I could make these yummy treats, you can definitely make them as well. This past Sunday’s weather was definitely a treat but it…

  • Baking Diary of Covid 19

    As we are half way through week #7 of quarantine, how are you holding up physically, emotionally & mentally? Many would say baking helps relieve stress. I’ve never been a huge baker but I wanted to add something different to the mix since my days currently could be a bit tedious (it’s the same routine…

  • Pregnancy Lessons Learned So Far…

    I promise I’m not going to turn this blog into a #pregnancy/#momlife/#lifewithkids blog but I personally feel like it’s important to share what I’ve learned about my pregnancy journey as it’s often a topic that many females may be wondering about as they are thinking about getting pregnant but it’s never a topic readily discussed…

  • Go Visit Giulietta

    How does dining out relate to wellness? Many individuals feel like dieting= no delicious food. Once again, I’d to emphasize that a healthy lifestyle and/or to achieve wellness, it’s not a short term commitment; it’s a lifelong commitment. You can definitely enjoy good food over a meal out with friends; it’s all about the choices…

  • Plant Friendly Sweet Potato Vegetarian Chili

    We are experiencing a nice mild day here in Toronto but prior to today, we’ve been experiencing a cold spell. There’s nothing more comforting than a bowl of chili with a nice slice of baguette. I’ve shared a turkey chili recipe before but here is a delicious and easy vegetarian chili recipe that also incorporates…

  • Back to Routine- Make Some Delicious Strawberry Coconut Bites

    As we kiss summer goodbye and start getting back into routine, let’s not forget that strawberries can always be a part of life no matter how busy our schedules become. Strawberries can be eaten at any point in the day. Tired of your usual energy bite combination? Throw some strawberries into them for an extra…

  • Have You Checked Out Impact Kitchen?

    I still can’t get over how happy I am about the newest location of Impact Kitchen. The newish Yonge/Summerhill location is by far the most convenient location for me. I’ve been to the Adelaide St. W and King St. E location but both would be considered a meal option only if I was in the…

  • How Would You Rate Your Relationship With Food?

    Do you find yourself often telling yourself you can’t have this food or you feel extremely guilty after consuming a specific food? Do you have a running list of a “to avoid” or “bad” food list? For the last little while, I have many clients who have identified that they have had a bad relationship…
