A restaurant awarded as “Best New Restaurant” in Calgary is worthy for any local to try, but it’s taken me a little longer than the rest. I first went to Gorilla Whale back in June for dinner, and most recently again for lunch. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Where does name …
This summer in Calgary has had some obnoxiously hot days, which I’ve been loving every moment of, but sometimes I feel like I just need to escape from the heat. The glacial, river water of the Bow just wasn’t quite cutting it for me. As I was scrolling through my Instagram feed, I stumbled across …
I’ve never really been a fan of meatloaf, but I saw one of those tantalizing Facebook videos and figured I’d modify it to create something easy and worth while. So here we go. Ingredients: 1 tbsp olive oil 2 small onions chopped 1 tbsp of Italian seasoning Salt and pepper to your liking 5 tbsp …

There’s nothing quite like peanut butter. Period. But when you combine that into a cookie, it’s just a recipe for deliciousness. Over the years, and in the midst of becoming a healthy eater, I’ve realized that the cups and cups of different types of sugar aren’t necessary to still have delicious tasting treats. Here’s my …
For the last five years, I basically cut refined sugar from my diet. We all know what the experts say about it, and for me, they were right. Often, I had awful migraines, a couple forcing me to stay in bed for a week, and when my acupuncturist suggested cutting refined sugar, I felt desperate …
Upon awaking early Canada Day morning, I grabbed my phone in bed and checked to see the latest news on Facebook. A free kayaking ride picture posted by The Paddle Station caught my eye. For those who don’t know me well, I love nothing more than a good deal, and free is the best deal …
