You may remember a little while back when I was on my jaunt through Europe, I stayed at an amazing place in Italy called Fattoria Poggio Alloro. It is a working farm with guest accommodations, also termed now as Agritourism! This place was absolutely magical, and although my hubby and I only spent

Skinny Chicken Waldorf Salad
This is a dish that I very commonly put into my clients weight loss meal plans. Yes. You read that right. THIS dish, clients, weight loss, meal plans. Even though it looks like a rich, creamy, might-go-straight-to-my-hips, kind of dish. It’s not! Not only is this recipe absolutely delicious, it’s low cal, high protein, and

Butternut Squash Coconut Curry
I bought a couple butternut squash a while back before Justin and I went on our trip. I was planning to make a roasted maple butternut squash soup kind of thing but I never got around to doing it because life was crazy hectic before we left! So when we got home from our trip,

Roasted Lime & Black Pepper Chickpeas
Ah, the weekend. Such a great time to get some housecleaning done, visit with family or friends, or just lay on the couch and do nothing (and not feel guilty about it!). On the weekends I don’t usually do a whole lot of extravagant cooking unless I am hosting a little get together. I like

Prawn & Black Bean Bowl
I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend! As a nutritionist, I often hear from clients that one of the main reasons they don’t eat healthier is that “cooking meals just takes too long”, and they don’t have time to be spending in the kitchen preparing meals, so fast-food, or take-out seems to be the

Veggie Chip Chicken Strips
Yum. That’s all you have to say about that picture, I know. Double yum. At work the other day, one of the lovely ladies brought in a bag of TERRA exotic vegetable chips. If you’ve never had these before, go out and get a bag, today. They are so delicious! Ok, so I’m
