I am so proud of this strong, hard working mama. She is an inspiration in so many ways but in this accomplishment she inspires us all to never give up on our dreams. I just order my own copy of her beautiful new journal and cannot wait to see all it has in store. If you enjoy journaling be sure to get your copy and support Tracey and her partners in continuing to spread health and happiness to more people❤️ so very proud of you Tracey! 👏

Some helpful tips to minimizing the weight felt after your Christmas Day Feast! 🍗🥂

* text adjustment: sweet potatoes are a great vegetable to add to any meal. The sweet potatoes that I was referring to are the delicious “candies sweet potatoes/yams” my grandmother makes. They are so good!!! I still enjoy a serving but I make sure it is a small serving as the recipe is packed with sugar.

Is there is a way to enjoy the Christmas feast while eliminating some of the heaviness? We asked three registered dietitians.

My new "Cozy Lentil Soup" recipe was a hit! I can't wait for the leftovers for lunch tomorrow! 😍

This recipe was so quick and easy and the best part. . . each serving is only a little over $1.00 each!

Here is how I made this yummy soup;
2 tbsp olive oil
2 large carrots chopped into 1/2" pieces
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tsp cumin and turmeric
1/2 tsp salt and pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne
900ml of chicken or vegetable broth
1 lg can diced tomatoes
1 cup dried red lentils
1 can coconut milk

Add olive oil, onion, garlic and carrots to large soup pot over med heat and cook until soften (~5 mins). Then add spices and cook until fragrant (~1 min). Then add stock, lentils, canned tomatoes. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer for 20- 25 minutes. Once lentils are the right texture, reduce the heat to low and add coconut milk. Serve immediately.

Enjoy😘

Storm Day Meal Prep..

Today's a snow day on PEI and I was thinking there could be many stuck at home looking for something to do. . .😘

If this is you, I would suggest making this awesome morning oats recipe. If you make 4-5x the batch and store it is a resealable container you will have a great quick breakfast option for the week. This awesome breakfast option provides you with 16g of protein, 20g of healthy fat and 11g of fibre💪

1/3 cup rolled oats
1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
1 tbsp raisins
2 tbsp chopped nuts (walnuts are delish)
1 tsp cinnamon

The above amount is 1 serving. If you make a large batch, your serving would be ~1/2 cup.

Cooking options. Cook on stove stop (creamier option) in 2/3 cup milk of your choice. Stirring often until liquid is absorbed. Top with 1 tsp of brown sugar, maple syrup or honey.

You could also place all ingredients in a mason jar to make overnight oats or you could cook in the microwave in 30-sec intervals until cooked. (About 2 minutes)

Hope you all enjoy.
