Are you ready for the LISTERINE® Challenge?

I write a lot about foods that keep our bodies healthy, but let’s not forget how important it is to keep our mouths healthy too.  I try to set a good example for my kids by brushing and rinsing twice a day, and flossing every day as well.  I admit, I’m not perfect at it. Sometimes I get lazy…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Coconut Freezer Bars

I like having a stash of chocolate treats that I keep all to myself, in case of emergency chocolate cravings.   These little chocolate peanut butter coconut treats are stashed in my freezer, and I’m pretty sure nobody knows they’re in there but me. I’d like to keep it that way, because they’re way too good to share. …

Creamy Perogie Dinner

I have a weakness for perogies.  To me, they are the ultimate comfort food.  I try to go easy on the carbs most of the time, but when it comes to perogies, I just can’t help myself.  And they make such a quick and easy dinner, so that’s a big bonus right there.  If it…

Moroccan Lentils #MOLOmonday

  I can’t even wrap my head around the fact that it’s a new month already! Where did February go? So now it’s March, and here we are at the first Monday of the month.  Do you know what that means? It’s MOLO Monday!  This is when I show you how to make over leftovers…

Orange Yogurt Loaf

The first time I made this loaf was for Ayla to take to daycare to celebrate her birthday.  I figured the daycare staff and the other parents might not appreciate me giving the kids a sugary treat, so I decided I’d go with something healthy and low in sugar. I still wanted it to be…

Healthy Family Expo 2015 {Giveaway}

Like most of us these days, I want my family and I to live healthy and active lives while minimizing our carbon footprint, but sometimes it’s hard to know where to start, or what options are available to us.  It can all be pretty overwhelming, but the good news is that there are lots of…

Pork Picadillo Wraps

Several months ago, I had the opportunity to attend a cooking class at Well Seasoned in Langley BC on how to cook perfect pork, featuring Johnston’s Local Quality BC Pork.  Along with other local bloggers and foodies in media, I sipped Narrative wine while watching Angie Quaale from Well Seasoned prepare delicious pork dishes for us all to sample….

Smoky Corn Chowder

We’ve been pretty lucky here in BC to have beautiful spring-like weather lately. We took our boat out on the water this weekend, and I felt a little bad posting photos of our outing while the rest of Canada is immersed in snow.   Took our boat out on the water this afternoon. What a…

Easy Skillet Chicken Parmesan

While I share a lot of slow-cooker recipes on this blog, I also like to feature easy meals that you can put together quickly at the end of the day, because I know not everyone has the time or forethought to put something in the crockpot in the morning.  A lot of the time, I just…
