Holy cow! We're already almost halfway through 2024! Time flies when you're... well, living life. As we hit this mid-year mark, it's the perfect opportunity to pause and take stock of how things are going. Grab a cup of coffee (or tea, or whatever your beverage of choice is), and let's explore...

Whenever summer rolls around, I get excited about the bounty of fresh fruits it brings, especially peaches. They are my favourite to include in desserts not just for their sweet, juicy flavour but for their impressive health benefits. Paired with raspberries and a crunchy oat topping, this Peach...

I once had a diet so regimented that I found myself eating chicken and broccoli off the floor of my car. It sounds absurd now, but back then, when I was competing in bodybuilding competitions, the thought of missing even one of my six daily meals seemed unthinkable. It's moments like these that...

Kale can sometimes be a tough sell, but with the right combination of ingredients, it can be transformed into a delicious dish. This Kale and Apple Slaw combines the crunchy texture of fresh apples and red cabbage with the nutty flavour of toasted pumpkin seeds and the sweetness of dried...

My kids are usually skeptical when they hear pork tenderloin is for dinner, often complaining about the meat being too dry. Inspired by a method I learned from Carlsbad Cravings, I've started brining the tenderloin first. This simple step has made all the difference in keeping the pork...

I'm a big fan of mushroom risotto—it's one of my go-to dishes when I want something rich and comforting. However, I thought it might be fun to switch things up a bit with asparagus coming into season. Asparagus adds a lovely, fresh crunch that lightens the dish, making it perfect for spring...

It's a running joke in my home that when dinner rolls around, more often than not, chicken is on the menu. When my daughter asks, "What's for dinner?" and my text pings back with "chicken," I can almost see the obligatory eye roll. This universal sentiment was perfectly captured in an...

In a world that often glorifies perfection, it's easy to fall into the trap of believing that we should have everything mastered by now. This belief can lead to a constant feeling of inadequacy and a never-ending pursuit of an unattainable ideal. But what if we redefined success not as the...

When it comes to meal prep, you know I'm all about keeping things simple. That's why I love this Salmon Quinoa Bowl with Spicy Mayo. It's a perfect example of how easy and delicious healthy eating is.

As a kid, I don't recall eating a lot of salmon; I have more memories of t-bone steaks sizzling...

This recipe changed my mind about Brussels sprouts. I used to avoid them like the plague. Boiled Brussels sprouts always had this unappealing, bitter taste. It wasn't until I decided to try something different with them that I actually enjoyed eating them. Slicing them up and sautéing...

As a kid, I used to hide away in my room whenever my dad started cooking mushrooms. I couldn't stand their earthy aroma. Funny how things change, though. Now, mushrooms are one of my favourite "vegetables" (technically, they're a fungus, but let's stick with vegetables for now—it...
