Have you ever pictured a group of elephants at the water hole comparing diet tips?
Or a pack of dogs at the park debating which food is "good" or "bad"?

It sounds funny, but it makes a clear point. Animals don't worry about carbs, calories, or the latest "superfood." They eat when they're hungry, s...

The funny thing about life is that as soon as we’re born, we’re ageing.
It sounds obvious, but when you really pause on it, it’s a bit strange to think about. From day one, we’re in motion, moving forward, gathering experiences, and collecting years whether we want to or not.

Somewhere along the wa...

Some days, meals don’t always line up the way we want them to. Perhaps you’re running late, your workout went longer than expected, or you simply need something on hand to bridge the gap until dinner.

That’s where these Chocolate Peanut Butter Clusters come in. They’re made with simple ingredients,...

An easy weeknight dinner with bold flavours, fresh ingredients, and just the right amount of comfort.

Most of the time, I grill zucchini, but every so often, I like to stuff them and bake until the tops are bubbling and golden.

This version leans into Mexican flavours with seasoned meat, black bea...

Have you ever noticed how often we connect exercise with the idea of “burning it off”?

Eat a donut → go for a run.
Have dessert → add an extra class at the gym.
Skip a workout → feel guilty.

That whole cycle turns movement into a punishment, like we have to earn our food or make up for it. And if ...

I’ve always loved a good pasta salad. It’s the kind of dish that works for everything: quick lunches, potlucks, or an easy side at dinner. And then there’s Greek salad: crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, briny olives, and that salty feta that ties it all together.

So I thought… why not bring the two ...

The Story We Carry

I can remember not liking my legs as early as the first year of high school. We had to wear short red shorts for gym class, and mine were always pale and blotchy with blue veins showing because I was always cold. I'd look at the other girls' legs and wish mine looked like theirs....

Fennel is one of those vegetables I don’t remember eating when I was growing up, and I think it often gets passed by in the grocery store. But it’s actually so versatile. You can eat it raw, add it to soups, grill it and drizzle with a little balsamic, roast it until it’s caramelized, toss it into p...

I’m not just making small changes, I’m rethinking everything

For a while now, I’ve felt something shifting, not all at once, not with a plan in hand, but steadily. Like something that once fit no longer does.

I’ve been sitting with a deeper question:

What do I actually believe about health, food,...

When summer hits full swing, there are two things I keep picking up on repeat: fresh corn and Ontario peaches. Peaches are one of my favourite fruits, sweet, juicy, and only around for a short window, so I make the most of them while they're here.

I'll eat them straight from the basket, slice them ...

For the past few summers, our family has taken a getaway to a boat-access-only cottage with no electricity, barely-there cell service, and a whole lot of togetherness. It’s quickly become one of my favourite traditions.

We’ll be heading there soon, me, my husband, our adult “kids,” my sister-in-law...

Some recipes just stick with you. This one was shared with me by my sister-in-law; it originally came from her friend Shauna, who always seems to know how to make simple food taste amazing. Her Salsa Chicken Pasta has become an instant hit in our house, especially with my daughter, who requests it o...
