Our Swiss Adventure
Hello friends! We’re just back from a week in beautiful Switzerland! We hiked, we skied, we stuffed ourselves with fondue and chocolate crepes… and oh, the adventures we lived to tell about!
My Daily Supplement Routine
Hi folks! The other day I saw a friend in the health food store, and she was fascinated to see what I had in my basket. “What supplements are you buying?” she asked. “And what should I buy?” This is actually the most common nutrition question I’m asked, after, “Should I avoid carbs?” (NO!) The …
Sweet & Sour Chicken
This sweet & sour chicken can be made with vegan “chicken” pieces or regular chicken breast…either way, it’s perfect for an easy weeknight meal! Howdy, friends… I realise it’s been forever since I’ve passed along a main meal recipe to you. I blame this on the hungry people in my house (myself included!)- just when …
What I Ate Wednesday- Maintenance Calories
Hello friends! The last time I showed you what I was eating, I was just a week or two away from my bodybuilding show, and definitely in the last phase of “cutting.” Although my calories never dropped very low (1800 was the lowest I ever went), I found myself often sleepy and out of energy …
No-bake Peanut Butter Fudge
Howdy folks! This no-bake peanut butter fudge is hands-down one of my “must-have-in-the-house-at-all-times” recipes, not only for contest prep, but for every single day of my life. I hope it will become one of yours as well. Remember my no-bake sweet potato brownies? Well, these are a close cousin…
Living Your Fit Life
Hello friends! I feel kinda weird saying, “Happy New Year!” to you… but it has been that long since I’ve posted… so much for my NYR of posting more often. Sheesh. January’s been a rough month for me… I got a rib contusion as a result of a little trapezing fun just after New Year’s, …
Fish & Corn Chowder
This hearty fish & corn chowder makes the perfect easy & healthy weeknight meal, no matter what your weather outside. Howdy friends! I hope everyone had a beautiful Christmas and is getting to the bottom of their cookie tins. Who’s ready for a recipe that doesn’t involve sugar and coloured sprinkles??? I definitely am!
Vegan GF Thumbprint Cookies
These vegan and naturally gluten-green thumbprint cookies are the perfect treat for Christmas Eve, to sustain you as you wrap up preparations for your Christmas celebration. Advent always passes by very quickly for me, and I’m usually caught up in the throes of shopping, wrapping, baking, making lists, and panicking a bit over everything I …
Peanut Butter Pumpkin Salted Caramels
These peanut butter pumpkin salted caramels will get you in the holiday spirit no matter how much you’re dragging your feet on your Christmas preparations. How did we get to the middle of December already?? My mother always started her Christmas baking around December 8 or so, and maybe it was just to put off …
Vegan Banana Bread
I’ve been on a banana bread kick lately. Not only do we always seem to have bananas going soft on our counter (who doesn’t?), but also I’m finding so much more freedom in my diet now that my show is over. I’m still eating well… plant-based, plenty of veggies, adequate protein to fuel my lifting… …
