Shop Local at Ladner Historical Village
There’s so much going on in Delta, White Rock, and Surrey this Christmas season! My family and I have been busy exploring and experiencing all the fun attractions and events our city is presenting for the holidays; so busy we’ve been in fact, that I am running out of time to do my Christmas shopping….
Soy Stained Eggs Recipe
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending an event at Fable Kitchen in Kitsilano. Egg Farmers of Canada and Chef Trevor Bird curated a special menu pairing eggs with local, seasonal ingredients and local wines.

Fresh Prep Offers Fast and Tasty Meal Solutions for your Busy Lifestyle
To say I’m a busy person it’s an understatement. I have a full-time job, a busy blog, and a young family with an adorable yet very active, four-year-old. At the end of a busy work day, not only am I exhausted, but I dread going thru all the motions of finding a healthy recipe, making sure…
New Spring Menu at Rocky Mountain Flatbread Co.

That was the case with Bluhouse Market & Cafe! It’s one of those enchanting places that, when you visit, you feel positive the moment you walk in. The vibe…
Happy Snacking with Naked Snacks
I have a love/hate relationship with snacking. Everyday around 2pm I get the craving for something tasty. Sweet, savoury, it doesn’t matter. I always end up reaching for the first thing closest to me: the usual culprits are either a chocolate bar or a bag of chips. Let’s face it. 2pm when the craving hits…
A Day at EcoDairy #AvalonTraceable
On Sunday, my family and I spent a day as guests of EcoDairy and Avalon at the EcoDairy facilities learning about sustainable farming. Located in Abbotsford, EcoDairy is the first demonstration farm of its kind in Canada. The farm offers a unique and highly interactive learning environment, perfect for children like my little guy, Dylan. A proud…
