Paella de mariscos - seafood paella - something I need to keep improving at and which tastes best with fresh (ideally caught the same day) seafood. Hard to come by here, unfortunately. But we do our best with what we have available to us!
There are always new ways to experiment and make your kitchen a happy place! I know it is for me!!! 🥘😋

Tip Tuesday! Protein for breakfast! Starting you

Tip Tuesday! Protein for breakfast!

Starting your day right, with a nutritious, filling and protein-packed breakfast is going to fuel you for the rest of the day and support your metabolic rate, your hormones and your energy levels.
When you eat protein for breakfast, your blood sugar stays balanced, you are avoiding the mid-morning or mid-afternoon sugar crash and you reduce cravings later in the day. You also burn more fat by increasing your muscle metabolism.

Studies show that a high protein breakfast can reduce levels of ghrelin, the hunger hormone and in turn promote a "satiety" brain response = helping you to eat less = lose unwanted fat/weight.

Aside from intermittent fasting (which I have to get back into), I usually have a pretty serious protein breakfast and when I don't, I'm starving by noon.

What is your take on breakfast and what do you usually eat?

If you need help with revamping your eating habits in 2021, give me a shout, I'd love to help!

Did I tell you that I love everything coconut?

@wildlyorganicco Coconut milk powder is one of my favourite products. You can use it to make luscious coconut milk in minutes. Or you can eat it straight out of the bag...ahem...yup, that would be me! 🤓
Since it’s so rich and delicious, of course you may add it to your smoothies, coffee drinks, baking etc. Good fat never tasted so good. 😋

Other pantry and kitchen staples I like to keep on hand are dried seaweed like Kombu, Nori and Wakame from @edenfoods to increase the mineral content (think iodine) of my broths and soups.

Also, if I’m pressed by time, I like to use cilantro pesto from @kitchen.sunflower which delivers both on taste and quality. It’s the next best thing to making it yourself.

These are just a few of the pantry items you’ll learn about if you join our upcoming nutritional reset. In fact you’ll get a full list of healthy items and swaps to help you (re)organize your pantry and kitchen.

Link to register for the program coming soon. Stay tuned.
As always, please feel free to ask questions!

Getting in the groove of Sunday meal prep is easy

Getting in the groove of Sunday meal prep is easy when you have a plan. And some funky music. And some guidance.
On Sundays I usually “dance prep” for the week ahead, using fresh and nutritious ingredients: leafy greens, high quality protein, root vegetables, gluten free rice or quinoa etc.
There are so many combinations you can try - and I’m so excited that I’ll get to teach with @linda_ljucovic all about it in our upcoming program focusing on clean eating and time saving tips.

Tonight I’m making wild rice mushroom risotto, spinach with cherry tomatoes, roasting a bunch of broccoli and cauliflower for later in the week and the star of the evening: Osso Buco, a family favourite in winter (second picture)! To save time, I’m taking the easy road and using my Instant pot.

What are you making tonight and what’s your favourite kitchen gadget?

There is an old story of a man riding very fast on

There is an old story of a man riding very fast on a horse. As he rides by his friend, the friend yells, “Where are you going?”. The rider yells back “I don’t know, ask the horse!”.

Can you relate? I certainly can, especially lately as we are getting back into old routines after a more-or-less relaxing holiday.

As I continue to practice mindfulness, I’m still often caught up in the “racing horse” syndrome.

The pace and intensity of our lives, now exacerbated by current events, leave many of us feeling like someone riding a frantically galloping horse. This can be result of anxiety about the unknown, too much to do and not enough time, the pressure to produce and tick off items on our to-do list by each day’s end or maybe just a personality trait. These are all valid and must be examined.

But if we approach our days in a different way, we can consciously change this pattern. It only requires the courage to do less and enjoy more.

Too often we mistakenly believe that doing less makes us look lazy and results in a lack of productivity. Instead, doing less helps us savour what we do accomplish.

Imagine as you wake up in the morning your first activity - instead of reaching for your phone or laptop - is to feel and express appreciation and love for being alive, for your relationships, for the air and the clouds and the sunshine.

I’ve been spending time on both sides. And I agree that less busyness leads to appreciating the sacredness of life more.
Doing less or slowing down means for me more internal calmness and a greater ability to accomplish more of what really matters to me and to explore my passions.

Where do you stand on this topic? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Testing out recipes and using time saving strategi

Testing out recipes and using time saving strategies (hence the leftovers), in preparation for another exciting online program launching at the end of January.
Designed to save you time in the kitchen and help you reset your body after the holidays, so stay tuned for details!

Oh, and by the way, who said leftovers are boring? No way I’ll eat boring food! 😄
Made a fresh red cabbage salad and roasted the perfect Provençal potatoes to go with this chicken dish.

The holidays are over and it’s time to get back

The holidays are over and it’s time to get back on track! What is your strategy? Do you use cleanses, pills and powders? Do you practice intermittent fasting?

I personally prefer food: clean, fresh, whole foods full of fiber, vitamins and minerals.

I will attempt to have at least 5-7 servings of greens each day, drink bone broth and warming soups, consume fermented foods and high nutritional value protein.
I might do a liver support supplement like milk thistle too. And drink lots of green tea!

Also one of my favourite ways to begin the day is a glass of pure filtered water with freshly squeezed lemon juice.

What is one thing you’re going to do to “detox” after the holidays?

I hope everyone had a beautiful holiday season with their loved ones! It’s been a challenging year and I’m sure all of us are looking forward to a better 2021 filled with more love, joy, hope and excitement.

Now that the celebration marathon and the overindulgence are over, we’re going to slowly transition back into a healthier lifestyle, so stick around.

I’ll leave you with a few images of how we celebrate and I’m looking forward to sharing more deliciousness and health tips with you because, yes! - they can and should go together!

Have a happy and healthy new year! 💖

So the kids and I decided to have fun making a tiramisu cake (call it “adult bonding” 😄) and it turned out pretty good! It was a lot of fun too, in a busy kitchen, mind you!

We may not have any left for New Year’s but, hey, there’s still enough sparkling wine to keep everybody happy! 🥂🍾

What delicious dessert are you making today?

Enjoy, everyone! Have a happy, safe and fun night! 🥳🍾🥂⭐️

The New Year is around the corner and we are getting ready to ring it in, in style 🤩🍾🥂!
It’s been an interesting one to say the least but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate! We have so much to be grateful for! 🙏

I’m making a few appetizers for fun. A crab salad with green onion, red pepper, avocado, lemon juice and a touch of spicy miso @okazusauce

Also a 3-cheese dip with dill and Za’atar, a wonderful spice used in Levantine (Middle Eastern) cuisine.

More on the menu tomorrow 😃

What are you making for tomorrow night?

Sharing a few more Christmas food images....hard to let go, hahaha. 😄

Everybody’s absolute favourite around Christmas in Eastern Europe are stuffed cabbage rolls and each household will proudly serve its own recipe to visiting friends and relatives.
Where I’m from it’s almost like a tasting contest and people discuss things like ingredients and preparation methods with utmost seriousness. 😁 I hope you like mine!!

There are a few other specialties like “caltabos” sausages and “toba” that we eat around this time of year and back in Europe the festive celebration lasts for a whole week between Christmas and New Years.
True, some of us may have to go on a weight loss regimen after all this! 😆

What is your favourite Christmas food? Or maybe your “guilty pleasure”?
Mine is “cozonac” - a kind of sweet bread or cake made with walnuts and cacao, sometimes with Turkish delight too.

Happy ❄️ Solstice!
A time to reflect, dream and visualize what you wish for yourself, for your human family and for our Mother Earth, as we move from the darkest and longest night of the year into the light of tomorrow’s dawn.

Let there be more love, more peace, more understanding and togetherness in the world!
May the Light that’s always there fill our hearts with hope and inspiration for a better future! 🌎✨💖

A young Christmas tradition for us! All sorts of Italian deliciousness at @eatalytoronto on a fun outing before the big lockdown!

I remember the days when we could still have a glass of Prosecco at the oyster bar or a slice of freshly baked pizza and a gelato - yes, that was all indoor dining...😢

Glad I got my Grey Owl cheese and my French Kiss oysters though! Now we’re ready for Christmas! 😍

Lamb curry on the menu tonight! Simmered on low heat and then placed in the oven until the meat falls apart. Perfect for cold days like today!

A delightful aroma of spices like ginger, coriander, cardamom, turmeric, garam masala, garlic and peppercorns.

I will garnish with fresh cilantro and goat yogurt, on basmati rice.
Who wants some?

Lamb and yogurt provided by @wildmeadowsfarm_ontario 🙏🙏🙏 - local Ontario meat and a variety of other products, highly recommended!

I love citrus but I tend to go for orange, lemon or grapefruit. I didn't realize lime was so powerful until I started dealing with a sinus infection...yes...you know what that means. A lot of mucous unfortunately, not a sexy topic 🙁

Well, I started drinking warm lime water and also adding Lime essential oil (@doterraca) to my water and things started to clear. Thanks @linda_ljucovic for the recommendation.

Lime is also a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant so it's a good idea to add it to your daily regimen during the winter months.

Sunday night looks sparkly when the kids are having fun!
Haven’t tasted these Christmas cupcakes yet but if they’re anything like what they made in the past, I’m in for a treat, especially since I’m not a baker. I have the utmost admiration for those “serial bakers” out there 😉!
Keep up the good work!
