YUMMY!! These are one of my favourites foods to enjoy. I love eggs for breakfast, snacks, lunch and dinner. They make for a simple, easily accessible, inexpensive, nutrient powerhouse to add to any meal.

The reality is that shaking up the way someone eats is a tough step even harder to do when they really don’t like the way the food tastes. After having 3 kids I realized if I was going to get my family to buy into my way of eating I had to find away to get this nourishing food to look and taste good.

The act of feeding ourselves and our family has become a daunting task. Many families are lost as to what or how to cook dinner and feel scrambled for time. Cooking nourishing meals for you and your family doesn’t need to be daunting. Think of levelling up what you are currently doing; small and simple changes!

Did you know that fibre is simple way to up your nutrition game! When I talk with clients about fibre most will tell me they don’t have an issue with regularity.

I have struggled with writing this post for a long time. I have written and deleted it many times. Weight loss is an area I probably get the most questions. It is an area that I am passionate about. Passionate because we need to change the dialogue. We need to look at weigh loss as a way to better our health vs. trying to achieve a look.

The past few months I have been seeing more and more posts from friends, family and people I have known for years talking about how self-care is something they just don’t have time for. How life is so busy… who has time for self-care….. These comments got me thinking. How have we all gotten so “busy” that we can’t 5, 10, 15 minutes to care for ourselves?
