Vancouver’s North Shore Craft Beer Week
On Friday evening I attended the launch party of Vancouver’s North Shore Craft Beer Week and it was an awesome event located at the Pipe Shop in the Shipyards in North Vancouver. There was a great turnout of breweries (some that haven’t even opened yet!) to kick things off for craft beer week. I’m not the biggest beer drinker but I was super impressed with the beers that were served up in my cute little “pint” glass. The event included live music, food trucks, five north shore breweries pouring their beers, as well as three opening-soon breweries! Breweries in attendance included: Beere Brewing Co. Black Kettle Brewing Bridge Brewing Co.…

Legalization Day and How to Make Cannabis Infused Coconut Oil
By continuing to read this post you are acknowledging that you are 19 years of age or older. Sooo if you haven’t already heard, October 17th is weed legalization day in Canada. If this isn’t your thing, look, I totally get it. But this is a part of our country now and I personally have no issue against this plant medicine. I think there are far worse things we need to spend our time and energy on than punishing people for consumption of this plant. So I am fully embracing this day and thought I would offer some guidance with how to use cannabis in an edible or topical way.…

Que Pasa Factory Tour with Food Bloggers of Canada
Last week I had the privilege of attending a first-ever tour at the Que Pasa factory along with Food Bloggers of Canada. I grew up on Que Pasa chips…my dad is an OG and has been eating these chips since they first started making them. But isn’t it cool to find out that something you love is even better than you thought? Since touring the factory with one of the company’s owners, I saw the love and care Que Pasa has put into the making of it’s products and the integrity they have when it comes to cutting no corners even though they are now such a large company. They…

Inspired Greens Living Lettuce Summer Salad
I’m here to change your world when it comes to salads with my new favourite greens! Lettuce begin, shall we? Have you ever tried Inspired Greens living lettuce? This isn’t your regular grocery store lettuce – it has 3x more leaves, it’s ready in one chop and stays fresh for longer. It’s ALIVE! Just look at the roots on this baby. You all know I’m about that fresh produce and this is as fresh as it gets. #Inspired Greens has several types of beautiful living lettuces from romaine to butterleaf and batavia leaf. I was in the mood for a summer salad so I grabbed the Inspired Greens multileaf trio lettuce to use as my…

Virtuous Pie – Plant Based Pizza Joint And Creamery
I recently had the pleasure of trying out Vancouver’s only plant-based pizza joint and creamery. I had been hearing so much about “Virtuous Pie“, I knew I had to get there as soon as I possibly could. I love the entire concept of Virtuous Pie. Their mission is to change the way people eat and change the planet, one slice (or scoop!) at a time. Owner and executive chef Jim Vesel’s aim was to create an ethical and sustainable menu without sacrificing great taste. I believe he has accomplished just that. The eight pizzas offered on the menu contain creative and delicious combinations of ingredients and the house-made nut-based cheeses…

Cauliflower Buffalo Wings
I recently became a member at GoodLife Fitness in Vancouver and I’m participating in their 3-month challenge. I’ve set some realistic goals for myself when it comes to fitness, and I’m excited to start hitting the gym again after a few months off. After doing the Couch 2 5k running program last year I have kept up with running and can still do a decent 5k but I’m going to try and work up to 10km by the time Summer rolls around. The treadmill and stairmaster are my best friends right now….to not only help me get my cardio in and work on my stamina, but prepare for some awesome…
