10 Things I’m Loving Lately {May}

1. Alive & Radiant Teriyaki Greens

Welcome to your new addiction I picked these up at Community Natural Foods on a whim – I needed a little (crunchy!) snack before hitting the road to Canmore and it took every ounce of willpower to not down the whole bag in one sitting. They are SO good. Finally! A decent kale chip that tastes good and isn’t $9 per bag. I’m still recovering from my last unpleasant kale chip experience – I tried mango habanero (not this brand) and they were seriously the grossest thing I’ve ever tasted. The kind of gross that makes you wonder why they even bothered making it in the first place.

2. Watermelon everything

The best way to eat watermelon: squeeze fresh lime juice in, add some chopped mint, and a dash of sea salt.

The second best way to enjoy watermelon: pour some vodka and soda water over the salad. YUM.

3. THIS.

I have no words. My girlfriend Corlee is obsessed with hazelnut butter, and I love almond. If we had a baby….

People have been asking me what brand this is, and the company is, ”Nuts To You Nut Butter“. Yeah, I don’t get it either.

4. Rocky Mountain Soap Co. Avocado bar

When it comes to beauty products, I like to keep it simple. As I’ve gotten older, it seems like I have less tolerance for overly “processed” soaps, makeup, haircare, detergents, etc. I blame it on my teenage years of Cover Girl white eyeshadow, glitter eye pencils and Wet & Wild mascara. :D My typical skincare routine is either tea tree oil bar soap (it’s $2 at Bulk Barn) or a mixture of olive oil and castor oil (the oil cleansing method). Sometimes I’ll tone my face with filtered water and apple cider vinegar.
This facial bar is infused with avocado oil, so it doesn’t have a drying effect. It’s like washing your face with oily soap! I bought it in Canmore. Next time you’re there, be sure to stop in and use their hand washing station – they let you sample hand scrubs, soap and lotion.

5. The return of light, fresh, summery meals and…plantains!

Aside from plantain chips, I’ve never tried a fresh one. We had mahi mahi fish tacos the other night, and a sauteed plantain made the perfect summery side dish. I sauteed it in coconut oil with a dash of cinnamon, salt & pepper. If you haven’t tried a plantain, it’s like a starchier, denser, less sweet banana. Basically, if you like bananas and/or sweet potatoes, give em a try!

Grilled mahi mahi, avocado, cilantro, salsa, wrapped in leaves and LOTS of cholula

6. “Gratitude Runs”

I’ve started playing this ‘game’ when I run or walk where I collect little ‘nature tokens’ along my route. Lilacs coming into bloom, people working in their yards, birds digging worms out of the ground, tulip petals scattered along the sidewalks. At the end of my run, I have a giant ‘gratitude bouquet’ of sights, sounds and smells. The best part about it is it takes my mind off of running – my body just turns to auto pilot, my mind relaxes, and before I know it, I’m home!

Today, I focused mostly on smells – fresh cut grass, camp fire smoke, cedar, pine, grape Kool Aid. I was most excited about the Kool Aid, hahaha.

Side note – this post run stretch feels incredible on the quads & hip flexors. I slowly work my way as deep into the stretch as I can.

7. Green Smoothies

A green smoothie a day keeps the Dr. away. Seriously though. I NEVER get sick. Actually, that’s not true – I contracted that deathly norovirus around Christmas, but other than that, I maybe get one mild cold once a year – and it only lasts a day or two. My immune system is solid. It’s built on a foundation of plants (and almond butter).

My go-to/never fail smoothie is: massive handfuls of baby kale and spinach, 1 small frozen banana, ice, cinnamon, a scoop of almond butter and unsweetened coconut milk. Sometimes I’ll add an extra handful of mild-tasting fruit (like blueberries) and, if I’m really feeling wild, I might add some spirulina and camu camu berry powder.

8/9. Nike Blazers (High Tops)

Healthy Snack Ideas!

8 Replies

I remember a time when I thought “healthy” snacking meant plain rice cakes, plain non-fat yogurt, an apple + 1 tsp peanut butter (<– I blame womens health magazines for that one) and raw veggies. A square of dark chocolate or one slice of cheese if you really feel like letting loose. Plain, boring, bland food. It’s no wonder people bail on their “healthy” diets… that’s no way to eat… or live!

It didn’t take very long to figure out that I didn’t have to follow the nutrition advice laid out in health magazines and, as I was introducing more whole foods into my life, I started getting creative. So, with that said, I wanted to share some of my favorite go-to nutritious snacks.

Yogurt Bowls

What we want: plain, unflavoured, at least 3.8% MF (at the very least 2%, I know higher fat yogurts can be hard to come by in some areas) preferably organic. The higher the fat content, the more satiating – it also cuts the glycemic load of the lactose and any added mix’ins. Liberte, The Greek Gods and Olympic are my favorite brands. I’m also a huge fan of Fairwinds Farm organic goat yogurt, which is produced here in southern Alberta.

What we don’t want: non-fat, low-fat, chemically flavoured and/or sweetened yogurt

1. Strawberries, walnuts, chopped basil
2. Frozen cherries, banana, strawberries
3. Strawberries, frozen cherries, orange, banana, hemp seeds
4. Peach, orange, raw cashews, tamari almonds

-Apple + 10% yogurt + cinnamon
-Grain/Sugar Free peanut butter cookies

Who doesn’t love a good snack plate? I’m obsessed with mini cucumbers and cocktail tomatoes sprinkled with himalayan & kelp salt. A handful of raw nuts or a couple devilled eggs on the side.

Spicy nori handrolls – these are so easy to make. I buy nori sheets from a Japanese grocery store, then add lettuce, avocado, protein (either shrimp or salmon sashimi), drizzle on hot sauce, roll and dip in gluten-free tamari.

-Shrimp cocktail with salsa instead of cocktail sauce
-Assorted veggies, chicken and feta packed in a leftover salad box <– for an on the go mini-meal

-Sugar/dairy-free chocolate dipped cherries (you can do this with any fruit)

-Coconut flour waffle or pancake topped with cream cheese and cinnamon or nut butter + fresh fruit.

The end.

What are some of your go-to healthy snacks?

What kinds of pre-packaged “health” foods give you the sads? Rice cakes, skim milk, “reduced fat” peanut butter (wrong on so many levels), individually packaged yogurts that literally contain 2 tbsp of yogurt and 800 tbsp of sugar.

Buy Me A Dinosaur

13 Replies

A few days ago, Court said to me, “Why don’t you be a wife and make me lunch?!” Not with that attitude!

Naturally, I asked that he return the favour while we were in a Banff souvenir shop. I demanded that he “be a husband” and buy me a $30,000 dino skeleton.

He says I can get it if we sell my car. Seems like a fair trade – I’ll just ride my dinosaur skeleton around town instead. Hows that for progressive fossil fuel preservation? Ha. I’m an idiot.

After this post I’m done rambling on about our trip to the mountains. As much as we all love vacation recap photos of peoples faces….

Last Sunday, Court and I decided to take a morning drive up to Lake Louise, followed by a lunch date in Banff. And an ice cream date that never happened.

First order of business:

I LOVE BEAMERS. Don’t let the gas station-esque cups fool you – their beans are legit. I always get the organic medium roast – I think it’s an Ethiopian blend? They have a ton of decent on-the-go snacks too – giant muffins, cinnamon buns, wraps, sandwiches, fruit cups, etc. I had a few bites of Courts GF strawberry banana muffin. It was heavenly.

Scenes from the drive…

One thing we didn’t take into consideration was that it was still quite chilly (WINTER) at the higher elevation. We figured summer temperatures in Banff = worldwide summer temps, so we dressed in shorts. It was just like the time we thought Volcanoes National Park would be hot and fiery, but it was +5C and windy.

While we were strolling around the Fairmont, all I could think of was the time Tierra froze to death in the lake. Hahaha. <– The Bachelor.

I’ve never experienced Lake Louise on a sunny day, and, if you’re like me with a weird fascination for turquoise hued water, it can be a bit disappointing. This time, the lake was still covered in snow. I am dead inside.

Summer scene of Lake Louise:

(source)

I want to live in it! Glacial lakes fascinate me – the sediment and mineral content causes the lake to change color throughout the year – turquoise, emerald, blue. Water has a magnetic effect on me – I often feel like I “need” to be near it.

Afterwards, we headed back into Banff to stroll around before our lunch date.

Highlights:
-The dinosaur skeleteon
- DavidsTea
- eyeballing and salivating over all kinds of desserts – fudge, caramel apples, ice cream, etc. Banff is a great place to gain 800 lbs in one hour – every store sells fudge.
- lunch at Nourish, a vegan/vegetarian restaurant
-Bow Falls trail <– if you’re short on time, this a good walk to go on!

Falefel salad

Beautiful Burrito

I found a rock chair – oh man, I could’ve sat there for hours had I been adequately prepared with sunscreen and enough water. Also, notice the Fairmont Banff Springs? I’d love to stay there someday… but I need a million dollars first.

Weird, random story: Sometimes when Court and I are out walking, ~~we’ll~~ I’ll play fitness games. For example, we’ll stop and do dips at a park bench, walking lunges when we hit an incline, sprints, etc. Beats working out at a gym, any day! When we turned around to head back into the townsite, we did sprint intervals the whole way.

We spent the remainder of the day lounging on the deck, BBQ’ing salmon, a sunset walk along the Bow River, and watching Homeland.

Oh! Speaking of Homeland, we got Court’s dad hooked on it. He went out and bought season 1, lent us the discs we were on, then…. 12 hours (literally) later…

I’m done talking about the Rockies now. And Homeland.

Do you add any extra “fitness fun” when you’re outside? {I need more ideas!}

-I’m not messing around with flowers in my pots this year. I’m planting “useful” stuff only – like herbs. I planted lavender and rosemary in one pot and placed it beneath our bedroom window. It smells divine.

-I bought two mint varieties…one is called “candy mint” and it smells exactly like a candy cane!

-Succulent garden – $15 at Home Depot

LOOK AT THAT GLORIOUS SOIL! It gets better each year. We’ve poured a lot of love into our organic garden over the years. When we first started our garden (6 years ago) the soil was grey, dry, crumbly and dead. We revived it with rabbit manure, compost and plant rotation and now it’s ALIVE and teeming with life!
Notice the crow on a stick? It’s an awesome bird deterrent for our strawberry patch.

We have plans to build pallet walls along the fence to house herbs. It’s going to be awesome. I can’t wait!

-Some creepy garden gnome that wandered in to our yard. I think I’ll keep him.

Freeeeesh basil. The best smell ever.

-Outdoor living. I love this little nook – especially in the evenings. Wine + book = summer bliss

-I want all of them. Which color do you like best?

-Unsweetened iced green tea.

What do you normally order from Starbucks?

Do you grow a garden? What do you plant?

-long fitting
-thumbholes!!!

Stuff White People Like

In my previous post, I mentioned that Court and I have been sucked into a Homeland blackhole. Who goes on vacation and watches tv?! Apparently we do. But, just for the record, we marathon watched it after the sun went down and in the wee morning hours. I originally planned on going to bed early and sleeping late during this mini-holiday, but that quickly changed to, “less sleep, more Homeland”. Yep. We like it that much!

On Saturday morning, I somehow managed to convince Court to get up at 7am so we could watch another episode. Good man. But first, we picked up coffee from Beamers Coffee Bar.

800 episodes of Homeland later, we finally pulled ourselves out of the depths of addiction and went for walk. During our travels, I found a stunned bird on the sidewalk. Poor guy! I placed him in a sunny nook to warm up.

I also found this gem of a book. Everything in it is DEAD ON.

“Much like not watching tv, being vegan/vegetarian makes white people pretty hard to deal with on a day to day basis – having dinner, going out to restaurants, and having them over to watch political debates all become major challenges as white people will talk about how they can’t eat anything, and would rather the meat and cheese be thrown into the garbage than put in their bodies. But wait – aren’t there white people who eat organic free-range cattle and chicken? Yes, but these white people are racked with guilt knowing they are still eating a dead animal, contributing to rainforest deforestation and global warming” HAHAHA.

Divorce and “hating big corporations” were among the list, too. So funny. Now I find myself judging everything that I do, say, and wear.

Like drinking kombucha while wearing lululemon.

Since there was still a lot of snow up in the higher elevations, Court and I weren’t able to do any hiking, so we stuck to walking the trails in and around Canmore, lounging on sunny park benches and soaking up that glorious Rocky Mountain sun. Goodbye pasty-white-sickly winter complexion!

That night, we had dinner at my favorite Canmore restaurant, crazyweed. Their menu emphasizes ingredients from local farms, and in the summer months, they grow herbs and strawberries on their roof. This was Courts first dining experience at crazyweed, and I was excited for his mind to be blown. To start, we ordered Vietnamese meatballs which came with lettuce cups to wrap them in and a cilantro infused au jus.

For entrees, Court ordered a pizza at my urging. Once I told him they were just like wood fire oven pizzas we had in Hawaii (Cafe Il Mondo in Honokaa = to die for) he was sold.

I went with the pan seared steel head trout which was served with a warm potato salad, double smoked bacon, shallots, arugula and horseradish creme fraiche.

We really enjoyed our meals, but were slightly disappointed by how rushed the experience was. Our appetizer was served immediately after the wine was poured, and our entrees came out immediately after the appy was cleared. We didn’t really have time to enjoy our wine, or take a break in between courses. I hate feeling rushed at restaurants! <– Stuff white people like to hate.

Have you dined at crazyweed? Favorite dish?

Canmore/Banff Recap – Day 1

8 Replies

Court and I are back from our mini vacay. I always dread coming home from holidays and getting back into the swing of things. Good times fly by way too fast, hey?

To celebrate our 3 year wedding anniversary, we headed off to Canmore and Banff, Alberta. There’s nothing like a long weekend trip to kick off summer! Courts aunt and uncle lent us their house while they were away – a gorgeous home along the Bow River. They’re nice.

Canmore is such a vibrant, fun community – there’s a ton of trails for walking, running and biking, tours, yoga & pilates studios and a brand new rec centre called Elevation Place. It has a climbing wall, pool, gym, library, art gallery, etc. Everyone who lives and vacations there (mostly Calgarians, I presume) is so fit! It’s definitely a wonderland for active living, thats for sure. For those who aren’t familiar with the area, Canmore is located in Kananaskis country – about 40 minutes east of Calgary. (You’ll pass it on the way to Banff.) We prefer Canmore over Banff, actually. It terms of the community’s vibe, it’s more laid back – less touristy and better dining options with a seemingly greater emphasis on local businesses. In Canmore, you feel like you live there. Banff is more like a spectacle.

We rolled into town mid-afternoon on Friday. After unpacking the car, Court set up shop on the patio, and I unrolled my yoga mat for some restoration.

Bendy.

Afterwards, we headed out for a walk along the Bow River before making a detour into downtown to pick up a few goodies.

We were surprised by how warm it was in the Rockies – the temperatures were in the low-mid twenties all weekend! No jackets required.

Our first order of business was Mountain Mercato, a specialty market and cafe. They sell organic raw cheese, pate, seasonal produce, bread, quality olive oil, vinegar, etc. We sampled a few different kinds of oil from Greece and New Zealand, all of which had a spicy kick at the finish.
That’s how you can determine the quality of olive oil! If it’s not peppery, it’s probably no good.

Our next stop was a wine store for a bottle of pinot grigio. We sampled some wine, too. I think It was good? I don’t know much about wine tasting, but it seems like such a serious sport. I always just smile and nod politely when I’m given the backstory about a particular bottle. And then I select one based on the label.

Court and I share a theory that wine connoisseurs are liars. When you can go into detail about 50 different flavours, notes, etc. NO ONE is going to disagree. Really, you can just say whatever you want because you’re the “expert”. Right?!

We had a sushi date scheduled for Chef Studio Japan that night, so we headed back to the house to get ready. And by getting ready, I mean drinking wine on the deck.

It tasted light and crisp with notes of honey and lavender. I detected a subtle vanilla flavour too, which balanced the overall bright and fruity aroma… See what I just did there? Something to think about next time you’re at a wine tasting.

Dinner was, in a word, heaven. Court and I love sushi, and we always make a point of dining at Chef Studio whenever we’re in Canmore. They make an insane yam tempura roll, unlike any other yam roll we’ve experienced. It’s definitely a “treat” – I felt like I’d downed an entire bag of potato chips after two pieces, but it’s worth the splurge.

My favorite part of our meal was a piece of crab claw meat sushi. Real crab is such a rarity in these parts! So good.

After dinner, Court and I waddled back to the house where we changed into our pjs and fell into a black hole: Season 1 of Homeland. OH MY GOODNESS. I’ve been hearing about how awesome this show is, but I didn’t think I’d love it this much. We basically turned into the Battlestar Galactica skit from Portlandia.

Have you been to Canmore or Banff? Which one do you prefer?

What’s your ‘black hole’ TV show? Do you watch Homeland?

I soaked up some gloriooooous UV rays yesterday. Spring, is that you? Please, stay a while… I have no serotonin left in my body. Isn’t it amazing what a warm, sunny day can do for our demeanour? I went from being Ragey McRagerson to Little Miss Sunshine in less than 24hrs. (Or maybe that was PMS?) The good news is, I feel like ME again!

Court and I are celebrating our 3 year wedding anniversary this weekend. (Our anniversary is actually May 28 but this weekend works better for us… plus we need a break from life./Coolstorybro)

I kicked off our mini-vacation on Thursday afternoon with a hot epsom salt back + a magazine which conveniently arrived in the mailbox while the bathwater was running.

Afterwards, I made a quick trip to the grocery store for vegetables, coffee cream and Ezekiel english muffins. I picked up a little treat for myself, too – veggie spring rolls, which I enjoyed in the backyard.

They had lettuce, cucumber, carrot, avocado and pickled radish in them. Yum! Mint-lime water on the side.

I made lemon coconut flour mini muffins and donuts using this recipe.

I adapted it slightly since I didn’t have all the ingredients on hand. Lemon zest instead of orange, and omitted the xantham gum. They turned out great! Light, cakey and no added sugar. They don’t even need sweetener – the coconut flour, coconut milk and lemon zest do the trick. You know how coconut flour can be a nightmare to work with? Not this recipe! You don’t have to mix it with 800 assorted flours either. These babies are coming to Canmore with us!

The remainder of the day included packing….

Spring clothes!!!

Slow cooker lemon chicken for dinner, painting my toenails and going to bed early.

See ya next week with a recap of our trip AND an Albion Fit giveaway!

What are you up to this weekend?

Snacktime! Chocolate Dipped Cherries {Sugar & Dairy Free}

2 Replies

Please let me know if you discover a method for making chocolate covered balls photogenic. Or any brown food, for that matter.

Did the plate distract you, though? Kind of?

Is there anything more terrifying than the uncertainty of biting into a mouldy berry? Every single time. Even the frozen ones will sneak up on you. The reason why I bring it up is because it happened again when I made these. It was sad.

Mmm, nothing like the talk of mouldy berries to set the mood for todays snack feature.

I’m on a cherry bender right now. I was lying in bed reading on Monday evening, when a bag of frozen cherries started taunting me from the depths of the freezer. What is it with women and bizarre food cravings? Do men ever feel this way? Sometimes I feel possessed by food demons. They make me do all kinds of weird things… with coconut oil, cacao and cherries.

Chocolate Dipped {Magic Shell} Cherries
Dairy-free, no added sugar

Ingredients:

1 cup frozen cherries
1/4 cup virgin coconut oil
1 tablespoon cacao powder (or cocoa)
tiny pinch of salt

Directions:

1. In a small saucepan on medium-low heat, melt the coconut oil, then whisk in the cacao powder and salt. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat, add the cherries and stir until they’re evenly coated. (I left them sit in the pot for about a minute until the shell hardened)

2. EAT ALL OF THEM.

There will be a little extra chocolate sauce left – I drank some, then poured the remainder into a shallow dish to set (mini chocolate bar). Store the cherries in the fridge or freezer.

Crispy shell on the outside, gooey on the inside. Perfect.

What do your food demons make you eat?

5 Things: Summer Stuff

10 Replies

Oh hey!
How was your weekend? Mine was… meh. There was a massive Great Depression wind & dust storm (you can’t make this stuff up!) and I was trapped inside on Saturday. I caught up on all my stories though, so that was good. Stories = Real Housewives of Miami/OC, Vanderpump Rules. I also went on a few nature walks, lifted weights, did some pushups, drank wine and dry-brushed my skin. In that exact order.

Some recent happenings:

1. I took last Thursday off to catch up on homework and set aside some mental health time. I’ve been feeling run down lately – emotionally and physically. No, I’m not dying and nothing bad happened, I’m just burnt out. I’m in desperate need of restoration! Court and I have a mini-vacay planned next weekend in Canmore and Banff and WE CANNOT WAIT. It’s been over a year since we’ve been away, and it can’t come soon enough. We’re celebrating our 3 year wedding anniversary, too!

Early morning sunbeams – and yes, the window has since been spring-cleaned.

Ok, so about my ‘relaxation’ day. I went on three walks. It felt so good to just relax and stroll around the neighbourhood taking in the sights ~~of people in their homes~~ and sounds of Spring. I have a deep appreciation for the sound of lawnmowers, Robins, sprinklers and the smell of BBQs and freshly cut grass. Ahhhh…. I walked and walked until my body ached.

I rounded out the day with a hot shower then climbed into bed with my ereader. I’m reading How to Eat a Cupcake by Meg Donohue. It’s a relaxing “girly” read – I’m enjoying it! {It’s a welcomed mental break from anatomy, physiology and nutrition textbooks}

2. I need new swimwear. I’m starting to think there may be such a thing as too many squats and lunges because my butt is on a mission to join the Kardashian family.

{Bruce is my favorite Kardashian. Who’s yours?}

How do we feel about these suits?

For lounging:

(Roxy)

For actual swimming (love the criss cross straps! I can’t even begin to count the number of times I’ve lost my top in the ocean)

(Roxy)

I always feel slightly depressed after viewing the Victorias Secret catalogue. You too?

(Victorias Secret) – also comes in pink!

3. Snacks I can’t stop eating:

-10% greek yogurt (Olympic Organic and The Greek Gods are my favorite brands)
-strawberries
-raw macadamia nuts
-coconut butter (are you supposed to do anything special with this aside from eating it straight from the jar with a fork?)
-frozen cherries (!!!!!)

4. Saturday morning breakfast doesn’t get much better than this:

Can you think of a better food combo? NO. Not possible! We bought Silver Hills gluten free flax-chia bread (wow, what a mouthful!) from Costco. It was just ok.. aka I wouldn’t buy it again. Too spongey.

5. We received these Yukon travel guides in the mail from Courts aunt Pam.

We’re heading up there in July but we don’t know what activities to do yet. She suggested taking the train to Skagway, Alaska, camping and of course, lots of hiking… and eating. I’ve been scoping out Whitehorse’s dining scene and there seems to be an emphasis on game meat, Alaskan salmon, Arctic Char and KING CRAB. I am beyond excited for the seafood feasts that are about to ensue. King Crab, friends! (1 leg costs like, $20 in southern Alberta)

If you have any recommendations on what to see/do/eat in and around Whitehorse, let me know!

Where are you going this summer?
We like hanging out in Whitefish, Montana. 90% of Montanas population are Albertans. Haha.

What snacks are you loving lately?

Most importantly, WHERE SHOULD WE EAT IN CANMORE/BANFF THIS WEEKEND?

(We’re doing a lunch at Chef Studio Japan & dinner at Crazy Weed <– my fav!)
