Hi Everyone! I hope your Monday has been off to a wonderful start!  I wanted to touch base a little on one of my favourite products, Coconut oil, and a few of the great things it has to offer... I love that it's so multi purpose... ofcourse it's important to remember everything in moderation.  Take a look at a few of these awesome perks!  Boosts energy Coconut oil contains short term medium-chain saturated fatty acids (MCFA) - What does consuming MCFA fats in coconut oil mean for your body? Our body metabolises these fats in the liver, immediately converting this into energy (fuel for the brain and muscle function) rather than it being stored as fat. Easy Digestion If you suffer from poor digestion or tummy bloating try adding coconut oil to your diet. Coconut oil has been found to benefit digestive disorders including irritable bowel syndrome and microbial related tummy bugs. Fatty acids in coconut oil contain anti microbial properties, which have a s...

Hi everyone I wanted to share a thought on meal prep...  I get bored of routine, I need to switch things up sometimes. I need to have things accessible or I will go for what is, I also, hate to waste... SO...  Sometimes... What I like to do, before I do my weekly shopping list or menu planning is rummage through my kitchen for anything I haven't gotten through that week so I'm not wasting a bunch of food while making my different recipes and so on and get a little creative...  For example - This week, I had left over a little of each of these: Carrots,✔️ Green beans, ✔️ Onion, ✔️ Cucumber, ✔️ Romaine lettuce,✔️ Dried fruit,✔️ Oatmeal, Watermelon,✔ Cabbage, ✔️ Chickpeas,✔️ Celery, ✔️ Vanilla Greek yogurt, ✔️ Chicken broth, ✔️ Whole grain rice, ✔️ Some grapefruit and oranges, ✔️ A banana and ✔️ A couple eggs✔️  Chicken (ground and boneless/skinless)✔️ And ofcourse my Shakeology ✔️ So these were the basics for this round of my mea...

This is by far one of the most delicious snacks I've ever had.  It has been a favourite for about a year now and I don't see that changing any time soon haha...  1/2 banana -  sliced long 1/4 C Vanilla Greek yogurt between banana slices 3-5 Strawberries diced/sliced on top of yogurt (pineapple optional) Top with a tiny drizzle of dark chocolate (or syrup)  Sprinkle of granola (I use cranberry with spelt, flax and oat)  And enjoy!  For those following the 21 day fix this would = 1 1/2 purple (with strawberry and pineapple) 1 red 1/4 yellow

Over the years I have heard a million different reasons as to why people struggle getting down a well rounded amount of water on daily basis. Truth is - water is SO IMPORTANT, I really believe that if this is something you struggle with, it would be a fantastic first change. Make it a priority to consume more little by little. We can't get rid of something that is stuck in our body, you have to give it a way out..  Some of my favourites to add to my water are  > apples and cinnamon > pineapple > cucumber > oranges/tangerines/mandarins > grapes > lemon/lime There was a time I didn't drink much water myself, I found it was dull and tasteless which I didn't care for and there were hundreds of other more tasty things out there... Not a day passes where I don't have my water now.  Tiny Tweaks make Big Changes  Water can do a lot to help your body function better on daily basis!       ...

Hello again everyone! Well here we go! While renovating the downstairs of our new house, I lost internet connection but I am happily back up and running and very anxious to get my butt back into gear! We were renovating the front room/my workout room - This room has definitely had changes from top to bottom and I am super happy with the results! In our townhouse, before we moved, I always worked out in the livingroom and on the stairs, but when we moved here, to the farmhouse, the livingroom is upstairs and we felt like I was going to bust a floorboard haha, so the little red table now moves to the benches with fold up chairs for dinner and it tucks back into space for me to use my laptop and workout... I must admit.... while we were renovating I didn't exactly keep to my regular routine, and even gained a couple pounds so I am super excited to jump back in and feel great! (especially with only a few small details missing from my room and the nicer weather approaching haha.) On Mon...

I couldn't WAIT to make breakfast this morning!  I anxiously waited since Friday to make this recipe... it's like  "crustless pie in a cup"  lol Mmmm so yummy! It's comforting - perfect for fall season because it is warm and warms your home with that baked apple pie smell ~ mmmm it's versatile - we change it up! Sub in all kinds of stuff like, peaches, berries, dried fruit such as mangos, cranberries, apricots, add walnuts, spices, dried oats, and so many other things!  It's easy - I use my actifry - these things are magnificent - I love mine!  (stovetop requires stirring) **I've yet to bake it, maybe that will be something to try in the near future and will post a crockpot recipe next week** It's kid approved - bonus!!   It's delicious even if it isn't hot/warmed!  All you have to do is  Wash, peel and cut  8 medium apples and throw them in the actifry (or large pot/deep pan on low if doing...

Hello Everyone!   For those on the 21 day fix, this counts for: 1 Red , 1 Blue , 1 Tsp, 1 Yellow and 1 Green Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts , sliced in the middle Glazed with a 1/2 TSP of extra virgin olive or coconut oil and our favourite spices. (I use coconut oil) Stuffed with Feta Cheese, Spices, Spinach, and Asparagus  Tie them together Sprinkle another 1/2 TSP of extra virgin olive oil (or coconut oil) and bake covered in tin foil for 45  minutes at 425 As a side  Serving of organic Spanish rice with quinoa, red bell peppers and corn but I found I only ate half!  Absolutely delicious!  And the wonderful thing is I prepped it Sunday, So less work for me today! Whoo hoo! 

Good Morning! I don't know about you but I'm definitely not someone who has always found it easy to get breakfast into me in the morning - I'm probably more likely to do a workout than eat a good breakfast in the morning - because of this, for years I struggled with night hunger and eating which aided heavy feelings along with my weight - so I started small, a banana, Mandarin, grapes or my Shakeology - AND WATER!! Small and easy - still fuelling your body - which I still do for the most part in the morning - however once you start feeding yourself in the morning you will find you just start getting  more of an appetite daily. With my busy family of 5, people are always up at different times in the morning - this recipe was wonderful! Everyone had breakfast ready when they got up AND my house smelt amazing!! My son refers to it as apple crumble oatmeal lol which I think is great!  1 1/2 C milk (almond, skim or 1%) 1 1/2 C water 1 tbsp vanilla extract 1 C uncooke...

Hi Everyone!! Today I wanted to touch base on leftovers ... Ever have those leftover meal prep containers you or someone else didn't get to and don't know what to do with? Last week I wasn't well, and unfortunately wasn't able to eat on que - so this just happened to me - and for just starting to feel better I wasn't into anything that required a lot of time and attention, especially seeing as I had to get my family ready for the week ahead as well... so I thought - I'm going to throw  them all in the crockpot with my favourite spices, a little coconut and Extra virgin olive oil and see what happens lol - So I did... and WOW! 4 hours later - it came out better than ever imagined! My kids gobbled it up like crazy and asked to take it for lunch tomorrow too, which was pretty impressive seeing as my daughter doesn't like stir fry! WHOO HOO !! Lol My left overs consisted of  2 boneless skinless chicken breast cut into strips  Whole kosher carrots...

In 2014 I weighed in at 190lbs  - even through pregnancy, this is was an all time high for me. In 2009 I began my weight GAIN, My life began to take a drastic change (some good, some bad), One of them being, I quit smoking.  To be honest. my weight was the last thing on my mind, until it was almost the only thing on my mind.... Day after day, I was tired, not wanting to buy myself nice things,  not wanting to go places because I didn't feel comfortable with who I was... In 2014 I got mad at myself -  like something just clicked and I realized that I was going to have to make myself a priority.. and when that first decision was made, the rest followed. I got determined, and I made some changes..  In doing so, I lost more than 50lbs....  I also lost 100 doubts a day I lost that drained and tired feeling and it was replaced with energy and a want to do things again. I lost the inability to fit comfortably into my own clothes. I lost the...
