I’ve been really branching out with different pasta salads this summer, and we’ve been loving every single version. Pasta salads are pretty much the ultimate summer food since they’re incredibly portable. They also keep well for a few hours or even overnight in the fridge. Besides picnicking and barbecues, pasta salads are also awesome for all sorts of adventuring. You can almost always find a big container of pasta salad in our backpacks whenever we’re hiking....

Sugar scrubs are the best way to break into making your own bath and body products because they’re so easy to make. They just require a mixing bowl and at sturdy spoon, with only 10 minutes from start to finish! They’re a favorite of mine because they simultaneously exfoliate your skin while deeply moisturizing it at the same time.

I can’t think of a time when I’m not craving Mexican food, it seems to suit every mood and every season effortlessly! Soon we’ll be diving headfirst into tomato season with homemade salsa, but right now there’s another star on the market – Champagne mangos. They’re the kind of mangos you see with yellow skin, and they taste like no mango you’ve ever had before. They’re sweeter with subtle flavors I can’t really describe, and the best part is they’re not fibrous and stringy like the usual mangos....

Potstickers used to be a staple lunch for me when we lived in Calgary. You could get the best locally made wrappers, and I would make huge batches of them to freeze. Then for an easy lunch, I’d cook a few, and dip them in soy sauce, which was my favorite way to eat them. I’d kinda given up on potstickers as a thing of the past when we changed the way we ate....

I just spent most of an entire day planning out our trip to Zion National Park , and I feel like I just skimmed the surface, (i.e. I’m feeling overwhelmed with the sheer amount of amazing things to see in Utah)! So just to make it official, I’m now accepting all suggestions about what to do and see, specifically in Zion and Bryce Canyon . Now… what on earth does all that have to do with pumpkin spice pancake syrup?...

Once upon what seems like a long time ago now, it was recommended to me to try eating grain free. My first thought was ‘grain free? what on earth is left to eat?’. Eating grain free to me seemed like trying to go gluten free, but so much worse! During that time one of the first things I came up with to eat was this spaghetti squash with meatballs , and it’s been a staple ever since....

Strawberries and honey together make an amazing and easy facial treatment! Strawberries contain multiple acids that help to get rid of dead skin cells and tighten your pores, while honey is antibacterial, cleanses, and helps your skin stay properly moisturized. And if that wasn’t enough already, there’s a little gelatin in there which also helps to tighten and smooth your skin as well. Most weeks I use a single ingredient facial treatment like my Pineapple Facial or this Honey Massage Facial , but every once in a while I like to mix it up with something seasonal....

These Sun-dried Tomato Spinach Turkey Burgers are super flavorful and easy to make for weeknight meals. They’re also great for meal prepping healthy lunches for the workweek (see tips below).

However, recently I put together a recipe for Egg Muffins 3 Ways , and I used sun-dried tomatoes in one of them....

One of my favorite ways to make a fast and flavorful spaghetti sauce is to use sausage in place of the usual ground beef. It has all it’s own spices and flavors built right in, which means way less ingredients without compromising on flavor! Normally I just use Italian sausage, but it finally occurred to me to change it up a bit and use andouille sausage instead for a little Creole flavored flair!...

The quintessential Italian version of a cheese board, this Antipasto Platter is the ultimate ‘no cook’ appetizer or even a meal. It’s all about assembling together a number of tasty ingredients and then it’s all snacking.
