This is my go-to salad when I’m feeling lazy. It’s so easy to make, there is really no excuse for me to not eat my greens…ok, it’s a work in progress. You could easily switch up this salad by trying different fruits and nuts. Strawberries might be nice, actually. Continue Reading →

There are 2 things that I crave when I’m having a rough day.
1. Music (specifically, tracks 3, 4, 7, 9, 15 and 20 from the Essentially Naked album by Bif Naked)
2. Chocolate
Both of these things can make me feel better on any given day, but when I’m grumpy or upset they become must-have items. I’m not sure why, but music and chocolate are my favourites pick-me-ups. Maybe they release endorphins? I think I’ve heard that somewhere…
I recently came across a new chocolate confection at my grocery store and it has quickly become my new favourite treat.
OMG’s are yummy and very addictive. I honestly could eat an entire bag in one sitting, which is probably terrible, but there you have it.
The company’s website describes OMG’s as “delicious milk and dark chocolatey graham clusters mixed with diced almonds and crunchy toffee bits.” While that combination might sound a bit weird, it’s actually fantastic. These yummy treats are sweet, crunchy, chocolatey, a tiny bit salty, and totally satisfying. Continue Reading →
I made this with pickled mushrooms the first time. Bad idea…
I was trying to think of something healthy I could eat for lunch today, and since I had some leftover brown rice from last night I decided to try making a version of the Bliss Bowl from Freshii. I don't like tomatoes or red onions in my Bliss Bowl, but you certainly could add those ingredients if you want to be more authentic.
