Easy Granola


Since I keep talking about eating healthy, I've decided to actually do it.
I had a conversation with one of the trainers at my gym, Nerseh about what to eat for breakfast.
I would usually eat some kind of Kashi cereal with fruit but would be hungry by 10am. Not good.
She told me that I get hungry because a) there was no protein and b) cereal is a sugar rush.
Nerseh suggested I try yogurt with granola and berries.
I immediately balked at this idea.
First off, I hate yogurt. I am disgusted by it.
But Nerseh kept insisting I should find one I like and go from there.


It's Friday :)


Yes, I do think like this :)
It's that kinda day!
I went to lunch with my gf Kelly per usual.
My Fridays consists of NewBite in the morning, Boot Camp and then lunch with Kelly.
During our weekly lunches, we have great conversations and laugh our asses off for the majority of the time :)
And drink wine.
This is kind of our motto...

Chicken + Vegetable Enchiladas


So the boy says I don't eat healthy.
He says all I do is talk about eating healthy, but I actually don't.
Of course I proceeded to argue with him and he then pointed out that I bake almost daily and happily indulge in the things I make.
He then said I eat junk food.
I was offended because my food is hardly junk.
Yes, everything I bake is laced in butter but it's good butter, high quality delicious butter.
He then pointed out that I said I was going on a healthy meal plan and all I do is talk about it.
I'm starting to think he's right....only a little bit though.

Healthy Fried Rice


I love chicken fried rice.
In fact, I love Chinese/Japanese/Thai food, really Asian food in general.
As a child, my mom would make a variety of stir fries and curries.
I made sense because we were vegetarian so we could eat out at a Chinese restaurant and not feel like we were missing anything.
Also, adding Asian spices to tofu makes it taste really good.

Blondies!!!



Firstly, I want to apologise for being amongst the missing for the past few weeks.
Things have a been a bit hectic but I am back with quite a few exciting things to share with you.
And this recipe will definitely make up for my absence :)

Blondies are my absolutely favourite thing to bake.
They are chocolately, gooey, satisfying and just simply amazing.
These are my far my most requested item for orders and requests from family and friends.
They are a crowd pleaser and everyone always asks for more when the pan is done.
My favourite way to eat them is a few minutes out of the oven with vanilla ice cream on top...HEAVEN!
