Part 4 of the What Does This Have To Do With Wellness? series. Some might think it's strange that I have a food blog as a part of my mental health and wellness blog. Especially because what I eat and the recipes I share might not fit what people typically think of as "health-food". But, … Continue reading Wellness and What We Eat

What I’m Eating This Christmas
What is the Holidays without lots of eating!? One of my absolute favourite parts of the Christmas and Holiday season is the food. I love everything about it - cooking it together, tasting it, and the memories and nostalgia that come with it too! I thought it would be fun to share some of the … Continue reading What I’m Eating This Christmas
Easy Greek Marinade
This recipe is a wonderful one. Simple, easy and quick to make, and completely delectable. My husband and I have always enjoyed ordering Greek for take-out nights. It's one of the healthier options out there so it's great if you are looking for a more guilt-free choice, but let's face it take-out is expensive. For … Continue reading Easy Greek Marinade
Spinach Tomato Ravioli Soup
It's officially the beginning of the cold weather season. And to me, cold weather means warm bowls of soup! I'll admit I'm not the best at making soups. I'm not the most patient when it comes to cooking, especially on busy weeknights, and I think a lot of soups benefit from patience and bubbling away … Continue reading Spinach Tomato Ravioli Soup
Classic Slow Cooker Spaghetti Sauce
This is one of the first things that I learned to cook from my mom. I've said before the very first thing I ever learned to cook was scrambled eggs. But, early into my cooking adventures, somewhere around the age of 12, I wanted to learn how to make spaghetti sauce. Spaghetti has always been … Continue reading Classic Slow Cooker Spaghetti Sauce

I put together this recipe a few years ago after seeing a few different variations on stuffed peppers and wanting to try it out for myself. So, I threw it … Continue reading Vegetarian Tex-Mex Stuffed Bell Peppers
Slow Cooker Roast Chicken
It's a cold day here today so, I thought I would share a simple, easy, cold weather recipe that I made for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I've typically always roasted my chickens in the oven. It was how I learned to do it growing up and so I'd never really thought … Continue reading Slow Cooker Roast Chicken
Hungarian Goulash
I have another cozy recipe for you! This is a great recipe when you are looking to change things up a little from traditional "brown" beef stew. The paprika and caraway offer a rich flavour with a different kick, while not being spicy. This recipe can be made in the slow cooker if you don't … Continue reading Hungarian Goulash
Vegetarian Slow Cooker Chili
I told you hearty meals were coming! To me Chili is one of the most fall recipes I can think of. Growing up, my mom would often make Chili on Halloween. It was easy and she could let it cook all afternoon while she got our costumes ready, the candy bags for the neighborhood kids … Continue reading Vegetarian Slow Cooker Chili
Mushroom Pea Lemon Parsley Risotto
It has been so chilly and dark here the last few days. I've found myself missing the sun, but I'm also excited to see the leaves begin to change. The change of the seasons is also a great time to change up my menu a bit. I'm definitely a supporter of seasonal menus as I … Continue reading Mushroom Pea Lemon Parsley Risotto
