Everything on social media last week about Chipotle’s sofritas, have left me dreaming about burritos and burrito bowls. If you haven’t tried their sofritas burrito or burrito bowl, I highly recommend it! Unfortunately there are no Chipotle’s restaurants in the Montreal area, and the closest is about an hour away.
Gingerbread Protein Pancakes
Every Sunday as I stumble out of bed, the first question I usually utter it “what do you want for breakfast?” Nine times out of ten, the response is pancakes. Sundays are usually out rest day from the gym which means I’m not jumping out of bed to grab a protein shake before rushing out…
Gingerbread Snowflakes
These gingerbread snowflakes are a staple in our home come the holidays, and always make their way onto the cookie platters I bring to get-togethers this time of year.

Berry-licious…
About 4 weeks ago my husband and i embarked on a new fitness routine. One that involves cutting out refined sugar, starchy carbs, added oils, and wheat.

Chocolate & Peanut Butter, together again…
I know, I know… Another chocolate peanut butter post… What can I say, we just happen to love that flavor combo. Its actually quite scary the amount of peanut butter we go through, it seems to find its way into pretty much anything…
My Funny Valentine…
