L’Ambroisie Lunch
I’m so lucky to have such a delicious and affordable restaurant in the same building as my office (Chateau St. Ambroise). These dishes are bruschetta topped with goat cheese and smoked salmon on salad. So delicious and...
read moreNYE Easy Dinner: Sole with Lemon-Butter Sauce
I was lucky enough to ring in the new year with some of my closest friends. We started the night at my apartment where I decided I wanted to whip up something for dinner that I’d never made before, but I wanted to make sure it was easy and wouldn’t take very long. It was New Year’s eve and we needed as much time as possible to beautify! (Notice I’m wearing a gold sparkly dress? I went a little crazy this year). Even though I’ve become a lot more comfortable trying new things in the kitchen, I’m...
read moreLife Update: I’m back and ready to blog
Hi Sweeties! As you may have noticed, I’ve been on a blogging and social media hiatus for several months. I made a video on my Youtube channel that will give you a bit of insight into why I have been absent, as well as an update on where I’m at now and my plans for the future. I’ve never been one to make New Years resolutions because I think that I should make positive resolutions all year round. BUT it’s always good to have a little extra incentive. And with this brand new year and new chapter in my life, I’ve...
read moreFind your soul workout, then eat protein
I like to call gymnastics my “soul workout” – like soul mate, but for exercise. I have never liked exercising. The feeling of pushing my body to its limits has never appealed to me. Sure, I like the feeling I get afterward, but that feeling is mostly pride – I’m proud that I actually did it! I KNOW exercising is crucial for my mental and physical wellbeing and could very well improve many if my issues. That’s why I buckled down and recognized that instead of forcing myself to get another gym membership...
read moreSimple Recipe: Stuffed Peppers
This is my new favourite recipe! I was feeling adventurous so I experimented with an idea on a whim and I was SO impressed how delicious it turned out. I love how this is such an amazing way to get protein – incorporating beans into my diet has been hard for me and this recipe makes me want to eat beans every day! It was so delicious that I made it with 3 friends in the span of a few weeks because everyone wanted to try it. Every time I made it, I had leftovers so I definitely got my fill of beans recently! These are actually even more...
read moreWhy I’m No Longer a Health Nut
I no longer consider myself a health nut. I know that sounds strange and contradictory, seeing as my blog title contains the phrase “Health Nut” — but it actually works perfectly. And I’ll tell you why. It’s the “Sweet” that makes all the difference. But I’ll get to that later. First, let me just say that my views on healthy living evolve on a daily basis as I gain new information and acquire different life experiences. That being said, here is my current philosophy on...
read moreHomemade Perogies from Scratch
This recipe is courtesy of Josh. He made everything from scratch, including the dough. He’s awesome! Josh loves making food in bulk (we like cooking for our roommates and having leftovers). This recipe makes approx. 70 perogies, so adjust your measurements accordingly Ingredient list: 5 cups of plain/all-purpose flour (of that 5 cups keep half a cup on the side) 1.5 teaspoons of salt 2 whole eggs + 1 egg yolk 4 teaspoons of butter (make sure it’s very soft. Let it sit out for a while beforehand if need be, then crush...
read moreChocolate-Covered Cookie Dough Truffles (via Chocolate-Covered Katie)
When I make the same recipe twice in one week, you know it’s a good one. I didn’t even realize I had done it until my roommate pointed it out to me. Me: “No way! I definitely made these last week. I waited a week!” (Note: Although this recipe is super healthy for a dessert, it still has added sugar, so it’s not really something you want to consume in large quantities several times in a week.) Roommate: “No, I definitely remember you made them on Monday.” *Me...
