The winter season can make us feel blah. 15-18% of Canadians will experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) in their lifetimes. SAD is a type of depression that appears at certain times of the year. On the bright side, after you’ve spoken to your doctor, there are lots of things you can do to feel better […]

I absolutely LOVE this Avocado Toast with Tomato and Eggs for breakfast. It really is the most important meal of the day. I find it certainly starts the day off right and wards off that infamous mid-morning “hangry” feeling. In honour of Heart Month, I featured this recipe in the Easy (& filling) Breakfasts blog. […]

Posting my favourite Pineapple Olive & Salami Pizza recipe is way overdue! I was a little shy because people always think, dietitians don’t eat pizza! However, I’m not sure why I haven’t busted this myth a long time ago. Dietitians certainly love pizza, just like everyone else. In private practice, I find (almost) everyone loves […]

With the Fall season, there’s abundant fresh produce at Farmer’s Markets and local grocery stores! With so much seasonal food, it can be a challenge to know what to do with it. Look no further than my new favourite, Oregano & Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower. Roasting simply means to cook in an oven using dry heat. Above […]

Who does not love a DIY (Do It Yourself) meal? Taco meals certainly offer the flexibility to include the foods or ingredients you like. These types of ‘separate ingredient’ meals also allow kids to help in the kitchen, which builds food confidence as a life-long skill to eating well. This recipe for Tasty Beef or […]

Back-to-school is in the air. As a result, parents are busy packing lunches to leave kids (and themselves) feeling full for longer.

In addition, the dressing is super […]

Try swapping the bread for something different (wraps, pitas, buns mini rounds, etc). You can even use lettuce wraps for a gluten-free option! In addition, use a unique cheese, add a […]
