Recipes

I'm very passionate about feeding my family wholesome and delicious meals. I've always believed proper nutrition is one of the most effective preventative approaches to maintaining one's health. Bringing things back to the basics by incorporating simple, seasonal, and natural ingredients, I'm constantly searching for ways to include nutrient-dense foods and still make it taste amazing! My biggest challenge? A picky toddler!

Gardening

Growing up on a ranch in the prairies has instilled a love for being outside and working with nature. Although I live in the city with my family now, I still crave that hands-on approach to living. It's a hobby that feeds into my philosophy of using simple ingredients in my cooking, so this particular hobby (some might call it a chore) is both functional and calming. 

But being a working mom, sometimes the garden takes a back seat to life. That's where my low-maintenance approach comes in!
