a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
With Easter coming up and spring just around the corner I thought it would be fun to share a more vibrant recipe to help me get over my serious case of the winter blues. Lately I’ve been really into making myself big smoothies for breakfast, …
Today was my official last day as a ski instructor. It was a perfect last day too. The sun was shining, conditions were great and it wasn’t cold at all. This was my fifteenth season on snow, my seventh on staff and my fifth as a …
Funny story, a few weeks ago (Maybe a few months ago?) I needed a few potatoes for a recipe and my mom picked up a gargantuan bag of russet potatoes. Well, I still have about three quarters of the bag in my pantry… Being more of a sweet potato kind of girl, I’m not really one to just bake a plain potato and eat it, so I had to think of a more interesting way to use those bad boys up.

When it’s 30 below outside and the gloominess of winter is really starting to sink in we could all use a bit of a pick-me-up. It feels as though I’ve hardly seen the sun in the last few months (today being a rare exception) and …
I’m a big time green smoothie lover and recently I’ve been doing some experimenting with new ingredients. About a month ago I ordered a few specialty health food items that are a little bit difficult to find around where I live. One of those items …
As the holiday season winds down, it seems as though cold and flu season is just starting to rev up, for me anyway. I’ve ben waking up to itchy ears, a stuffy nose and a nasty sinus headache. For the last two weeks I’ve been teaching skiing to children under the age of five, which has left me exhausted (I’m partially attributing my oncoming illness to this). I’m also attributing my terrible back pain to the constant lifting and dragging of small children up and down a ski hill. I was at the chiropractor today and his comment was “wow, you’re really stiff”, I would like to call this the understatement of the year. Continue reading Winter Vegetable Dahl
Lots of exciting news to share. First thing’s first, this past Friday my big sis left on her big Scottish adventure. Emma is on exchange in Scotland for the next five months. I am hopeful that I will have a chance to head over to the …
During this time of the year I think we all could use a bit of a pick-me-up, right? I’m usually pretty tired when I get home from work, but the fact that it starts to get dark at around 4:30 is definitely not helping to …
As November sets in I have found myself in need of a good pick me up. It seems as though we completely skipped nice fall weather and went straight into the crappyness of November. I mean, I can’t really complain too much about the weather because we were definitely spoiled with excessively warm days throughout September and October.

It seems as though fall is finally arriving. With the last few days reaching above twenty degrees (Celsius that is) it has been an unusually hot October. Now that it actually feels like autumn, I think it’s best to say a formal “goodbye” to summer.
