I’m so excited to share this with you! I know, it’s silly to get excited about food, but I can’t help myself! Have you ever heard of a  Shirataki noodle ? They are a tofu based noodle that you can use as you would a pasta noodle. You can buy them in the States under the brand [...]

My Husband and I went away on a day drip a few weekends ago. It was so nice to drive out of the city and visit local farms, antiques shops, garage sales and quaint stores. We stopped it at this little cheese shop ( I’m obsessed with cheese! I would take a cheese tasting over a wine [...]

This is a great snack! It’s full of protein so it keeps you feeling full and, if you can believe it- it can actually satisfy a sweet tooth! Sometimes I make this for myself as a mid-afternoon snack.

I was just asked what snack I like to grab on the go when I’m in a rush. This is one of my top choices! Lara Bars. I love these bars because they are one of the few on the market that are preservative free and still taste delicious. They come in all sorts of flavors, my favorite is Cashew Cookie. My husbands [...]

I’ve had a few requests from my Canadian readers to address the fact that they don’t carry my favorite brand of Greek Yogurt in Canada. Fage.  So I’ve found a great alternative! I must admit, it’s not as creamy and thick as Fage, but calorie for calorie, ingredient for ingredient, protein for protein it’s on par 100%. The brand is called [...]

These little oranges are everywhere in the grocery stores now. Some are Clementines, some Mandarin Oranges and some Tangerines! But, whatever type you prefer,  they are all delicious!
