The release of Canada's new food guidelines this week is causing quite a stir in food circles, and for good reason. The authors of this new study refused to base their recommendations on any study that was funded by the food industry. So…

I turned 40 a little over two years ago, and since then, I have packed on about 25 pounds. Call it stress, hormones, or just eating more than I should, but it happened. I finally got to the point where I wanted to do something about it, …
Nothing makes me feel less sexy than a sugar coma brought on by a heavy, overly-indulgent dessert that pushes me over the edge. So for Valentine's Day, I've got my eye on some clean chocolate dessert recipes that will satisfy my sweet to…
My husband and I have recently decided to up our protein content significantly, so I called on a good friend who's been eating a high-protein diet for over a year to get some tips. She had some fantastic ideas like making a morning coffe…
It's a new year and if you are like the majority of resolution makers -- including yours truly -- you have probably vowed to lose weight, exercise more, or get healthier in 2018. While you make sure to get those workouts in, we'll help m…
Why did I start drinking coffee again? One word: toddlers. (That's a short post, right?) But seriously, my toddler is where my love affair with coffee began again. But before we get to that, let's talk about why I stopped drinking coffee…
I started the new year wanting to make some healthy changes just like everyone else, but I have to confess, this freakishly cold weather (what the heck is a bomb cyclone, anyway?!) has me craving beer cheese soup and chili like there's n…
If your New Year's resolutions have you thinking about healthier eating habits, we have a suggestion: start with small, manageable goals that you can implement for the whole family. One easy place to start is by cutting back on white ric…

When I was a kid, LaCroix was the drink we passed over in my grandmother's fridge to get to the Tab, but these days it's the hottest drink around. And I have to say, since we made the switch to a Paleo diet , my husband and I have jumped…
A little over a month ago, I switched my eating habits to a Paleo diet for the long term. I'm viewing my decision as a major shift in the way that I plan on eating for the rest of my life, not a quick-fix way to lose a few pounds. Althou…
Recently my husband and I said enough is enough and decided to try going paleo for a while. None of my clothes fit, we were grumpy and tired, and we needed a change. I have to admit, though: I was dreading an endless string of grilled ch…
