My Problem With The Body Positivity Movement.
According to wiki, the definition of body positivity is this: “Body positivity is acceptance and appreciation of all human body types. It is a social movement rooted in the belief that all human beings should have a positive body image, and be accepting of their own bodies as well as the bodies of others.” I like this definition. It sounds good to…
STOP Eating SALAD!
Last week, I posted on Facebook that I am the world’s worst when it comes to taking pics of my meals because, most often, my meals are salads. I mean, even in winter, I eat salads for lunch almost exclusively and most often for dinner, as well. Now, before you feel sorry for me or…
Our HUNGRY Brains.
If you’ve been following me for a time, you are likely familiar with my story; how I went from being a nightly, blackout drinker to being someone who values her health and now spends her life spreading the word to others. In my work, I meet a lot of people who have struggled with their…
Are YOU In?
On Monday December 4th, I am starting my “14 Days of Wellness” program. I’ve already got a whole whack of people joining me, ready to put themselves first and prioritize their health, and we’d all love for you to join us! No Challenges. No products. No gimmicks. No diets. No cost. Just an invitation to…
Soup For The Soul.
I love soup. I think I’ve always loved soup. Probably because my mother rarely put a meal on the table that didn’t include her signature “green soup” as a starter. She used up every veggie in the fridge that was starting to wilt and turned it into a delicious, creamy soup that we always gobbled…
Feed Your Cravings (Part 2)
It’s Tuesday, September 5th, and the first day of school for many young people. I wish all of the children and parents a great year ahead. I know, for a lot of parents, hearing those fateful words, “What’s for dinnnnerrrr???” can raise anxiety and stress levels bigtime. While I don’t have children, I can understand those…
Let’s Talk Food.
While I have about a million things I want to talk to you about since returning from vacation on Vancouver Island last week, I realize it’s been a while since we talked about food. And that’s a problem, considering the name of my blog. Today, I thought I’d address something that’s been kind of bothering me…
Exciting Times!
I have said it before and still believe now, that my alcoholism has been my greatest teacher; recovery my greatest blessing. If you know me or have been following my work for a time, you will know I got sober from alcohol over 14 years ago. I see all addiction as the same, no matter…
My First TV Kitchen Segment!
Scroll down to watch the full segment. 🙂 Last week, I went on Rogers Daytime to share a recipe I often prepare in my kitchen. I was inspired to make salmon after my recent trip to Vancouver Island, BC, as eating fish straight out of the ocean was a highlight of the trip for sure! I…
My Father Always Taught Me That Failing To Plan Is Planning To Fail
This past weekend, people everywhere were celebrating Father’s Day. It is often a time to honour the “unsung heroes” in our lives, our Dads, and it’s often a time for favourite meals, relaxation and sports of some kind. I hope you enjoyed Father’s Day weekend in whatever way is meaningful to you. Father’s Day was always special…
