After being away all weekend and eating out for every meal (travel calories don’t count, right?), I’m definitely going to be hunkering down to work this week and also get back on track with (trying) to cook at home. Lunches are the hardest for me because of my schedule, sometimes it’s easier to opt for…
How to Prepare Brussels Sprouts
Louisa is busy studying for exams this week, so I thought I’d share one of my own favorite recipes to keep up with the regular schedule. I’m a great baker, but when it comes to cooking… not so much. I like following precise recipes. My friends who are great cooks, however, can take six random…
Spicy Mushroom Marinara Sauce
YUM! That is all I have to say about Louisa’s guest post today. This looks like a dish you’d find in a restaurant. Not going to lie, when I make pasta I tend to use sauce from a jar that I get at the grocery store. This sauce sounds delicious (love mushrooms) and seems super doable…
Rice and Beans for One
I’m going to brag on Louisa for a tiny bit before sharing her post today! Louisa has recently joined the food team at Chatelaine (Canada’s #1 magazine) where she has been writing posts and starring in super informative videos.

Kale, Quinoa, and Sweet Potato Salad
When Louisa sent me this, I had just finished a big dinner… otherwise I think I would have immediately made this salad. How delicious and healthy does it look!?! I love having kale salads when I’m at restaurants or picking one up from my favorite salad place, but for some reason, I’ve never made my…
How to Pack the Best Lunch Ever
At my old job, I used to spend too much money going out for lunch every day. (There was a Whole Foods just around the corner… so good and so expensive.) Even now, I always do a scramble around noon trying to figure out what to have for lunch and by the time I’m starving,…
RECIPE: Restart Green Smoothie
Louisa from Living Lou is back today with the PERFECT holiday recipe. Not your typical cookie or dinner suggestion, but the recipe you’ll want to have on hand throughout the craziness of the holidays. Now, I went on a juicing spree a while back and got totally derailed when I started to not like my…
