It's the little things...

Hello Friends!

I always say that it's the little things in life that excite me the most.  Right now, I'm loving that my favourite 'veggie meat' has new varieties!  Yippee!!!




I love Gardein because they use minimal soy product and lots of veggies!!  The Chipotle Lime Crispy Fingers are delicious...spicy with a crispy crust.  I cooked them, cut them and put them on a salad.  These would also make a great 'chicken burger' alternative...guacamole, salsa...mmmmm!
I haven't tried the Beefless Burgers yet...but knowing Gardein they will be tasty!!!  Can't wait for a BBQ this weekend.

Here's something else I found...



Polenta has intrigued me for a while now.  This looked good, but I don't know what to do with it.  I've read recipes but I'm looking for something tried and true.  Anyone??

Also today, I have a message for the Quail that seem to be drunk on berries right now.




 It doesn't matter what road I'm driving on, these little beasts are there...darting in and out of traffic.   So to my fine feathered friends I say this..."I have taken a vow not to eat you...so please stop hurling yourselves in front of my car!"

Finally, I leave you with an image of my own  'birdie baby'...he loves basking in the sun in the kitchen window.  Here's Archie...on one leg in Tree Pose doing his morning sun salutations! 


Melts my heart!!
Love and light to you all on this beautiful Thursday!

New Life, New Job, Same Goals

Hi Friends! It's been a while.  I lost my blogging mo-jo a few years back just before everything in my life changed.  I've been through a time of extreme reflection, growth and change.  I left my marriage in 2017, started an amazing new job at Kelowna's NEW 103.1 Beach Radio in the spring of 2018 and somewhere in there found the love of my life. This period of adjustment has been at it's core, a shift to happiness.   Ensuring my daughters are happy and secure in the new arrangement has been of paramount importance.   This transition has been so worth while but as with any new journey some of the old, familiar things fall by the wayside.   If you follow me on social media or if you read this blog when it was active (2011-2014), you know that healthy eating and exercise have always been part of my daily life. Through my 20's and 30's, I was up and out of bed at the crack of dawn running, riding or doing some form of exercise.  I...

Make Room For It

Clutter is so detrimental.  In your closets on your counters but most especially in your head.  Outside clutter can be discarded with a little time and elbow grease but removing mental clutter is a whole other ball game. I'm going to speak about fitness and healthy eating but this can be applied to anything that has you stuck. I've fretted for months about losing my exercise routine.  A new career move meant a new schedule in direct conflict with my gym time.  It had been my gym time for as many years as I can remember and when I lost it (even though I love my job) I lost a little part of myself. My mind was over-active with new approaches to exercise but honestly they were mostly excuses about why I didn't really need to, mixed with a touch of self loathing. This thing that had been so important for my physical and mental well-being was getting further away...until a moment of clarity. Let me ask, have you tried meditating?  Going quiet, letti...

Body BOGO

Hello Friends!  We all love a good sale. That feeling of getting more value for less dollars. In that spirit, I have to share with you my most recent fitness obsession that really is a Buy One Get One scenario.  I am the first to admit I'm not really faithful to any one form of fitness exclusively for more than a few months. I get bored...                   Me being bored! ...and I don't apologize for that. Fitness is part of my daily life and if it's not fun then I can't be bothered. So, after a pretty regular gym routine for the past few years in prep for bodybuilding competitions, I was ready for something entirely different.  That's when Kelowna HIT opened it's doors.  HIT is a high intensity, interval, kick-boxing workout that is unlike anything I've ever done. It's done in a circuit style, two minutes at 12 different stations, alternating between upper body, lower body and abs. It in no way resembles other women's on...
