Do you like good deals?

Do you like good deals?

So I figured with American Thanksgiving fast approaching and, thus, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, I thought I would share with you this awesome site that I have recently discovered and so-called- got into bed with.

It’s called Dubli and it is a websitededicated to delivering you cash back on all your online purchases. You can shop at many online stores like Walmart, Apple, Macy’s, etc and earn…

The Day I Got My Cheeseburger It happened. I cracked and got myself a cheeseburger. If you've been following along with me since the beginning, this is a big deal.

Clean Eating Chicken Enchiladas

Clean Eating Chicken Enchiladas

This week has been a doozie. Between being a month behind on work, a teething infant who won’t nap during the day, and the massive pile of laundry, I have had no time (or desire) to cook something elaborate and healthy.

I opted to pick up a roasted chicken from the grocery store. Paired with this chickpea and feta salad, it made the perfect, quick, clean eating meal. Plus, buying a whole,…

How I Started Running

So two weeks after I said I would start running, I started running.

I haven’t really ran since high school when they made you in gym class. I was nervous. I had no idea what I was doing. I didn’t really think it through.

I decided to take videos during my run to show you how my first time went.

See how optimistic I was?? I think my…

Travelling and Clean Eating: Fail

Travelling and Clean Eating: Fail

Last week we decided to go visit my parents, who live across the province. Literally. We drove all the way across the province. With an infant. Yes we are crazy.

Normally, road trips are fuelled with gas station grub including, but not limited to, beef jerky (read: sodium overload), chocolate bars, chips, candy, and pop.  I decided to try and make our trip a little healthier.

The night before we…

Meatball Problems

I don’t know what the hell is wrong with ground chicken but it’s not normal. You know that rumor that a certain fast food chain’s chicken nuggets are made out of pink goop?

It’s not goop, that’s fricken ground chicken!

2 Month Mark

I was so excited to see this on the scale this morning! Especially after the Blizzards we splurged on last night! If you remember, I started this clean eating experiment at 135.6 and am now down 10lbs in just 2 months while remaining quite sedentary.

I also have a TON of energy today. Here’s how the day went:

7:30am           Get up early and eat my strawberry overnight oats for breakfast.

8:00a…

Squash The Preservatives

I’ve been slacking again on my writing. I’ve been so busy catching up on house work, my husbands work, real work and making my blog work that I really haven’t had much time to jot everything down.

I’ve tried a few new recipes this week that turned out great. One was a carbonara made out of spaghetti squash and another was a butternut squash hash.

Kale was on special this week. 2 bunches for $3!…

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Don’t let the name fool you these are very clean eating.

My maid of honor made these for me for my bridal shower over two years ago and, today, I stumbled upon the recipe she left for me. I twerked her recipe in order to qualify this one as clean. Hope you enjoy!

Clean Eating Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Melt 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips and 1/2 tbsp coconut oil in a double boiler. Don’t get…

Confessions

I have a confession… I haven’t been so good lately with my clean eating.

There were temptations lurking all around my kitchen just begging to be consumed. And I really wanted a steak… or three.

Since starting my clean eating experiment I have cheated in the following ways:

I had one ginger ale per week in weeks 2, 3 and 4. Sometimes I sneak a sip of my husband’s coke.

I drink beer once in a…

Chickpea Super Bowl

Sometimes I feel like I’m in the Chopped kitchen or on Master Chef when I’m going through my fridge and cupboards looking for something to make for dinner. If you’ve never seen the shows, contestants get these mystery baskets with five or so ingredients that you wouldn’t think go together and they have to come up with dishes for the judges.

Tonight was one of those nights. I had no meats thawed,…

Chicken, Spinach, Tomato and Feta Fettuccine

Recipe time!

I had some left over bbq chicken in my fridge, only one breast, and I was trying to figure out the best way to take that small amount of chicken and stretch it further to feed two people. I chose to make a pasta dish since the carbs would make us feel fuller.

You can use plain cooked chicken and any type of pasta you wish. I only had fettuccine (white flour) but in order to make…

Snap Saves

We all know that sometimes eating clean can be expensive. I’ve scoured over pages and pages of flyers from different grocery stores looking for the best deals and I’ve searched endlessly for coupons on the internet.

But I’ve noticed a sad trend: there are rarely coupons for fresh produce and fresh, wholesome foods altogether. Sure there are plenty of coupons for prepackaged, crap filled, frozen…

A Little Off Topic

I haven’t been around much these last couple days and for that, I apologize. I have been working hard to try and take this blog to the next level, to revamp it so as to make it more interesting to read. Then, I got so caught up in trying to make some extra cash out of the deal, I lost sight of why I actually do it in the first place: because I love it. I love just writing my thoughts and feelings…
