Fresh Food In A Frantic Season - Salmon Poke Bowl

While my poke bowl may not be 100% authentic, as I cook the fish, I think they’re authentically delicious.   🏅And my kids ate everything- even the green stuff! Win-win!   This is a versatile dish and you can play around with different ingredients. I just love the way it’s an assembly in a bowl, protein and lots of veggies,  drizzled with ginger spice. Who doesn’t love Ginger Spice?! Tis the season…  And speaking of the season 🎄, we are getting into the season of seasonal parties where we might not be eating super light food, where the mince pies and Quality...

Me Time That Pays Off: The Power of Daily Exercise

‍🏃‍♀️I was late the other day. Well, I am often running late as I have time blindness and I think I can do a bazillion things in an hour. Anyways- I made it to my appointment by running there- literally. And I thought to myself how lucky I am that I can move with ease, that I have a level of fitness that doesn’t limit me. Yes, some of that is luck as there are many with health conditions that restrain their activity levels, but for the most part being healthy in body means that I can leg it to...
