After the holidays, I always seem to have quite a bit of leftover turkey and ham, even after making soup! I usually make it into something else by day two of leftovers, when you're looking for something different. This is the perfect way to use them up. 

It's simple, satisfying, and tastes even bet...

I was listening to a podcast the other day where the host, who coaches from a non-diet perspective, was talking about how we tend to link every goal or struggle back to weight.

She shared an example of a client who said she wanted to lose weight so she could walk up the stairs without getting out o...

I love making soup this time of year, especially after Thanksgiving, when I usually have a turkey or ham bone sitting in the fridge. It’s such a great way to use what’s left and turn it into something comforting for the week ahead.

This Turkey & Rice Soup has become a bit of a fall tradition for me...

I recently came across this idea while listening to and reading Intuitive Eating, sometimes I need both to really absorb something, and it stuck with me. The authors talk about “food voices”: the Food Police, the Diet Rebel, and the Nutrition Informant.

I had to laugh because I’m pretty sure I’m al...

I had some leftover pumpkin and didn’t feel like making the usual muffins or loaf. What I really wanted was a cookie, something with a bit of spice, plenty of seeds and nuts, and just enough sweetness. So I started playing around with a recipe, and these Harvest Seed & Nut Cookies were the result.

As part of a course I’m taking, one of the assignments was to watch the documentary Fed Up and share my reflections. If you’ve seen it, you’ll know it dives deep into sugar, food marketing, and the rise of obesity in the United States (though the themes are just as relevant here in Canada). It’s the...

I’ve been leaning into comfort food lately. Last week, I shared my Spiced Beef and Veggie Muffins, and this week, I’ve got another cozy recipe for you: Cottage Pie.

Technically, if it’s made with beef, it’s called cottage pie, and shepherd’s pie is when you use lamb. Either way, it’s one of those h...

The first week of September was supposed to be about my husband’s hip surgery. It was a big deal, but one we were ready for, something that was going to give him back a quality of life he’d been missing.

Then, two days before his surgery, what I thought was a pulled muscle turned out to be shingles...

I love recipes that work for just about anything, and these beef & veggie muffins are one of them. They’re simple to make, packed with protein and veggies, and you can use them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Warm one up in the morning, pair with a salad at lunch, or add some sides for a quick din...

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,...
