The Slip That Nearly Broke Me

June 21, 2017

Spending two weeks in Guadeloupe together with a group of friends and Robin had been paradise so far until an incident occurred on our last day. It was quite the dramatic one to say the least. You always hear about these kinds of crazy things happening around the world but somehow you never really think it's going to happen to you. And even when it does, it doesn't seem real but I wanted to share because maybe it can help someone else save this from happening to them. Trust me when I say that nobody else needs to experience free falling from waterfalls! ;)

Healthy Loaded Granola Crunch

April 11, 2017

Without a whole lot of time to prepare breakfast, having a stash of granola has become my ultimate saviour. Long ago, I used to buy it already prepared but then after looking into the ingredients, I realized how unhealthy something I had always considered good for me was. The same went for cereals. While they might look like a healthy choice on the outside, especially when they're advertised as 'gluten-free', 'organic', & 'sugar-free', they are filled with tons of hidden sugars and other additives. This began my grand experimentation of creating a healthy version that's still bursting with flavour and finally, I've fined it down. It's become my new obsession to say the least and I just love how much easier it makes mornings. Less things to think about in those early AM's .. yes please!

Dealing With Negative Criticism

February 13, 2017

Oh, negative criticism: no one wants it but when it comes, it can feel like a sharp object piercing through your gut. At least this is what it felt like for me at first. It's not that I've never received it before, I have countless times but this time felt especially difficult. It's odd how when a random person gives criticism or comments badly on something, it doesn't phase you at all but then then when it comes from someone who you love & who is very close to you, it can feel like a different story.

Creamy, Heavenly Quinoa

January 23, 2017

Quinoa, the super healthy food that has gone mainstream, has become one of go-to substitutes for pasta, potatoes, and other starches. My stomach just never really handled those kinds of foods well so out of my search for healthy alternatives, quinoa was discovered. This cooking method makes it creamy, tasty, and delicious rather then bland and since everyone I've made it for always asks for the recipe, I thought I would share it along with you!
