Whether or not you love veggies, this dish is packed with so much flavour and so many nutrients that it’s sure to make both your tastebuds and your whole body do a little happy dance.

Applesauce in one of the easiest foods to make, and the results are AMAZING! Because it is so easy to make, you can still do it when you are feeling lazy and want a yummy treat. You can also experiment with different types of apples, different levels of ripeness, or using pears. This is definitely a snack that you can make your own and enjoy in many ways.

During my time at home, I’ve found that I’ve had a craving for berries every morning. However, I wanted to find different ways to prepare them. I’ve made smoothies, yogurt bowls, and one of my favourite ways was this crumble. It just hits the spot!

Have you ever bought a large bag of apples and by the ninth apple, you kind of wanted something different? Well, this is the perfect way to enjoy those apples that have been sitting on your counter staring you down for a few days. It is super easy to prepare and it’s a fantastic snack!

I naturally have a Type-A personality; I am super organised, ambitious, and I like things to be done well. While that will never change, I no longer call myself a perfectionist. Over the years, I’ve learned that expecting perfection from yourself from the get-go is normally either a recipe for disappointment or paralysis before you even begin. Being comfortable in whichever level you’re at, in your mistakes, and in your need to practice, learn, and grow… that’s the best way to approach life. Giving your best and being the best are two very different constructs.

I’m always trying to find quick and easy breakfasts for me to enjoy during the week, and fruit is always part of it, whether in a smoothie, overnight oats, or this delicious yogurt, I pack those nutrients in! What’s more is that this recipe isn’t only nourishing, but it’s adjustable to fit you.

I’m at my best when I have a routine, and to be honest, it comes naturally to me because of my personality. Still, I recommend establishing a routine to EVERYBODY, regardless of your personality, and this blog post will tell you why … spoiler: there are health benefits, both mentally and physically!

A few months ago, I found myself being quick to anger during my commute or at the store or basically anywhere. I have a colleague who complains often, and I’m not saying it is her fault (correlation vs. causation, right?) that I’ve let my mood be affected negatively more quickly, but I’m also thankful that I’ve come to the realization that that is what’s happening. We are all human. We are affected and molded by our surroundings every day. An example I overheard recently was about a friend who loves listening to crime podcasts and is now startled more easily. This isn’t to say this was a good or a bad impact to her actions, but it is interesting that something she listens to was able to changes her reactions.

Our days can be so jam-packed and fast-paced sometimes, that we all take some things for granted. So, what I often find myself doing is pausing, taking a deep breath, and reminding myself all that I have to be thankful for. Gratitude has been proven to have many benefits, some of which are explained below.

Summer is here! Some perform rain dances, but the birds performed sunshine songs for us, and for that, I am thankful. The summer weather means we get to relax in the sun, but it also means we get to collect that vitamin D via lots of outdoor activities. Below, you’ll find 20 things to do this summer, so go outside and have fun!
