Dinner for two doesn't have to be extravagant. This great quick meal when there isn't much food in the pantry. These pasta side dishes are great to have on hand for when you really don't feel like spending much time in the kitchen. One packet generally serves four people as a side dish but also make a great dinner for two when you add a few extras. This time I added one chopped carrot, roughly 1/4 cup of peas and one small tin of tuna. The idea of adding the extra items is to make more of a nutritionally balanced meal, [...]

Breakfast is my absolute favourite meal of the day, and you can bet your bottom dollar that I will eat breakfast before I leave the house. I choose toast or cereal most days, but sometimes I like to switch it up. Porridge or pancakes are great for days when I have a bit more time.

Not only are they tasty fruits, but they also have an [...]

So I was craving something sweet but wanted it to still be better for me than a mug cake. A bit of googling later, I decided to make Quest bar cookies. I also researched some hashtags on [...]

Dip always makes a great snack. And, for those that have a bit of a sweet tooth like me, this protein fruit dip is a protein-packed afternoon treat. You can eat this straight from the bowl with a spoon, add fruit to the bowl, or use it as a dip with fruit. You can even cover fruit in the dip and freeze it for a cool treat. I find chocolate or strawberry protein powder works well. But vanilla is my absolute favourite for this recipe. I haven't had the chance to test it with any other flavours. But I'm sure [...]
