Fuel Good Tea

December 30, 2018

Fuel Good Tea It’s time to ring in the new year with shots….of vitamins! With the holiday season often comes the holiday bug. It’s the cold and flu season at its peak. It’s easy to get run down rushing around prepping for the holidays, going to parties or movies where people are sick. If you…

My Nutty ‘Nog Tis’ the season of traditions! The delicious sweet treats that mark the season often include gingerbread houses, sugar cookies, Christmas bark, and then there’s eggnog.

Cool Down Cubes

July 1, 2018

Cool Down Cubes Finally, summer is here! Nothing beats a refreshing drink on a hot summer day. Quenching your thirst and cooling your body down often needs a little more jazzing up in place of plain water, or sugar filled drinks like a mojito or some sangria. I’m all for indulging in moderation, but I…

Thank Goodness for Gazpacho

May 31, 2018

Cooling Gazpacho There is no bigger luxury for me than visiting another country and eating good, wholesome, flavour-filled food. I was fortunate enough to take a little break and sneak away to Europe to visit a few different cities – Barcelona, Spain, and Nice, France. I’m a sucker for farmer’s markets and was able to find…
