My Healty Pasta Putanesca *RECIPE*

|Blog|

This is one of my favorite recipes to make at home for dinner. It’s simple, healthy, AND super delicious…without the high cost of other meals of this caliber.. sounds like perfection right?! Now those of you who are familiar with Putanesca, this Italian dish can definitely be pretty basic and low in balanced nutrition as the traditional version is made up mostly of white pasta (usually with olives, anchovies and capres in tomato sauce). But it is after all how you approach it, how you tackle and tweak a long standing recipe just enough without changing it’s original taste or integrity. The result of my tweaking makes for a nutritionally packed that’s ideal for when you’re tired and want something quick, yummy and replenishing for your body.

Layers of colour and flavour make a meal like this Putanesca a winner

I love to cook with local Ontario produce. There’s nothing like using what’s from our soil.. Beets and blueberries are some of my favorites.

Workout Of The Day – Core & Arm Challenge

|Blog, Exercise, Workouts|

Today’s workout is super basic and takes very little time to complete (about 7-8min total) YET it is extremely challenging and delivers great results! How? Well it demands no equipment other than maybe a mat (I’ve done it with no mat) and your own body weight. Your core will be working throughout each exercise, as will the muscles in your upper body as they push and hold you up.

This is a go-to workout of mine when I’m short on time and space yet still want to challenge my core & arms in a way that will have them reminding me of my hard work for hours, days after. Here’s how it goes..

Mexican Turkey Lettuce “Tacos”

|Blog, Nutrition, Recipes|

I love me some tacos.. Mostly I love any spice related to mexican food. Cumin, chilli powder, paprika, garlic , cilantro… I can go on and on. There is so much flavour in all these spices so I used them A LOT to enhance many of my dishes without having to douse everything in a tone of butter or oil. Not to mention all the killer health benefits all these spices hold. Together they are antioxidant loaded, anti-inflammatory, immune boosting, cholesterol lowering.. I can go on and on.
Here is a super simple and flavour packed recipe to try out soon. Instead of using the traditional white corn or flour tortillas, I used romaine lettuce as the taco wraps. They are the perfect size and shape to hold the filling, ad a nice light crunch, and allow us to eat more of the good stuff. This works great for a dinner party with friends as it’s very simple to put together. People can even make their own and top with their condiments of choice. Everyone’s happy!

Vegetarian. Delicious. Protein Packed. Possible? Yes!

|Blog, Nutrition, Recipes|

Buckwheat?.. But not wheat at all! Look to this gluten free seed as an alternative to rice or oatmeal. Buckwheat is not even a grain. It is a fruit seed related to rhubarb, yet has the texture and filling aspect of grains, thus making it a suitable and delicious gluten free alternative. It is also loaded in fibre with 5 grams per 1 cup serving. The good news keeps getting better…. It is a complete protein! YESSS.. This means it containins all nine essential amino acids, including lysine (usually the amino acid that is lacking in most veg proteins), making it an excellent vegetarian protein and fiber source! Hooura.. for all of you vegetarians who are finding beans & rice or quinoa a little redundant to satisfy your proper protein intake.
