What I Ate Wednesday: Raise the Roof Edition

We decided to get a new roof put on the house, along with a whole slew of our neighbours.  All our homes were built at the same time, and it was due for all of us.  As nice as it will be to have a spanking new roof, it has meant a whole lot of mess and noise around here this week!

Thank goodness for yummy food.  So here is another WIAW  edition for you linked with Peas and Crayons.

I have big food news, as a matter of fact...I am no longer eating oatmeal every day for breakfast!  Yes, I kid you not.  I have developed an addiction to my Chocolate Protein Mousse, and realized it is incredibly convenient (can be eaten on the go, made the night before, nothing to do in the morning...), and satisfying (keeps me full a lot longer than oatmeal).  So on busy mornings when either the girls or I have an early commitment, I switch to the mousse.


 

 

 

On this day, I also enjoyed snacking on my Carrot Cake Fudge...


A delicious lunch of egg white omelet with salsa and cheese, along with roasted zucchini.


A few apples as per usual (not pictured), and one of my more creative recent experiments: okra nachos with vegan cheese sauce...


And then topped with vegan 'pulled pork'. 


It was delish!  And yes, I did eat that whole plate of food myself.  Adam's was about half the size ;)

What are you eating lately?

    Those Okra Nachos sound very interesting! I haven't eaten much okra in a while but I'd eat anything with cheese sauce on top!

Book Review: The A to Z of Children's Health

Hey there, welcome to Monday!  We had a delightful, relatively quiet weekend.  How was yours?  Hopefully no one in your home was sick...there is a lot of nasty stuff going around these days. If you're a parent, than you have probably spent far more time that you would like to desperately searching Google and/or parenting books trying to figure out if your child's rash, cough or fever warrants a trip to the doctor or if there is something that can be done to treat it.  It's hard not to worry that it could be something more ominous that just an every day infection and while you'd make yourself (and everyone around you) nuts if you panicked every time your kid has the sniffles, as a parent, you naturally want to do everything in your power to prevent your child from harm. Recently I was sent The A to Z of Children's Health , written by doctors Jeremy Friedman, Natasha Saunders, and Norman Saunders, of Toronto's very own Hospital for Sick Children .  One of th...

How to Look Like a Celebrity

Okay, I know you're going to be interested in this post! I am sure virtually every woman in North America has wondered how Hollywood celebrities achieve such 'perfect' bodies.  Well, at CAN FIT PRO last week, one of Hollywood's top fitness trainers, Eric the Trainer , was there to tell us fitness professionals the secrets! Eric the Trainer, gave several presentations, and I caught the one on Celebrity Secrets, and it was most interesting!!!  I also found some of what he said rather disturbing. First off, he was very upfront about the fact that celebrities come to him for improve their appearance.  Not to improve their health or athletic performance.  To look their best.  He admitted that his approach then, is entirely dedicated to that end. Male and female celebrities are trained in completely different ways because Hollywood wants women to be lithe and thin and in his words, "look like they dropped out of heaven looking this way without every having ...

Blackfly Coolers: Product Review

Summer is over! Well, at least if you're a student. Officially it doesn't end for a few weeks, and it certainly still feels like summer. Yeah, I hate it. This f*cking hot, humid weather needs to end NOW! We made the most of our last weekend of the summer with our annual trip to the CNE on Friday, with a crowd of friends. It wasn't unbearably lot, thank goodness, and the girls and their friends had a blast on the rides.  Saturday I had to work, and Sunday was errand day. Monday we took the girls berry/apple/pear picking but didn't last long due to the heat. I organized the house to prepare for the construction workers starting back up yesterday, while Adam took the girls for a swim in our neighbourhood pool. Yesterday was the first day of school. Grade 2 and Grade 5. Yep, the girls are growing up.  We are fortunate that the girls don't have much anxiety about school, they are so much more confident than I ever was as a kid! But now, in the midst of our reno ch...
