Just last week Canada celebrated it's 150th Birthday! And I must say, I am one lucky girl to be Canadian and live in this beautiful country. I grew up in Toronto and my Mother immigrated from Portugal to Canada when she was 14 years old. My dad also grew up in Toronto. He is as [...]
I get asked all the time... "Samantha, what do you eat?!" Telling people I eat healthy, or organic or gluten free for some reason makes them think I'm deprived or eat a boring diet, which is sooo not the case! If you follow me on Instagram you'll get a pretty good idea of what's on [...]

If I’m not noshing down on my most favourite breakfast ever (my Sweet Potato-Egg-Veggie Trio), I’m usually itching for a little something more sweet, comforting and cozy. This means I often turn to breakfasts like oatmeal or chia pudding. While I wouldn’t call oatmeal a poor breakfast option, I know that it doesn’t always make [...]
Sweet potatoes are a regular in my house. They make the perfect side dish. You can mash them, roast them, bake them and combine them with a variety of herbs or spices. Lately I've been on a sweet potato kick as you might notice from my recent recipe post for my Sweet Potato Macro Muffins. If you [...]
