A Creamy Greek Pita Sandwich with Summer Fresh Tzatziki Dip Makes a Delicious School Lunch

August 24, 2016 by Kathryn 21 Comments

Preparing for a new school year means preparing ideas for school lunches that are quick to pack, healthy and tasty enough that my boys will actually eat them! I have a few tried-and-true favourites, but I’m always trying out fun new recipes too. And when I want to add extra flavour to any of my creations, I turn to Summer Fresh!

Summer Fresh hummus, dips and salads are delicious, nutritious and made with fresh, wholesome ingredients that my whole family loves. To be honest, my favourite way to use Summer Fresh products is to just cut up a big plate of fresh vegetables, open up a container of my favourite Avocado Hummus or Three Cheese Dip and dig in! But I do like using the products in other ways too. And this tasty Creamy Greek Chicken Pita is the perfect example of how Summer Fresh can make fall lunches easy and delicious! With only six ingredients and minimal time, I was able to whip up a sandwich the whole family loved!

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with the Best Ever Guacamole Recipe and Que Pasa Tortilla Chips

May 5, 2016 by Kathryn 208 Comments

Even though it’s not an official holiday in the United States and Canada, I love celebrating Cinco de Mayo in some way every year. Sometimes I plan a whole big Mexican-themed party just for fun. Other years I’ll just use the day as an opportunity to whip up a pan of tasty enchiladas for supper. But I always try to add a little touch of Mexican fun to the fifth of May in some way!

This year, the boys are both in different sports each week and free time is at a minimum. But that doesn’t mean we have to skip the celebration! When Que Pasa sent me an assortment of its popular organic tortilla chips and salsa, I knew I had everything I needed to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with a fun Mexican after-school snack. And to make the treat even better, I decided to whip up my incredibly popular Best Ever Chunky Guacamole recipe! [Read more…]

Nature’s Path Coconut Chia Tropical Smoothie Bowl Recipe

January 26, 2016 by Kathryn 219 Comments

While a new year starts out with great intentions for many people, it’s usually around the end of January that resolve starts to fade and we start to slip in our attempts to stick to our new goals.

Whether a bout of cold weather convinces you to skip that run, or an especially busy week has you reaching for the phone to order takeout instead of cooking at home, little stumbles don’t have to mean the end of good intentions! And this year, Nature’s Path wants to help keep you on the path to good health.

Host a Gourmet Holiday Lunch with Open-Faced Apple and Gruyere Sandwiches and Happy Planet Soup

December 10, 2015 by Kathryn 19 Comments

Holiday entertaining often means evening parties with plates of appetizers, huge turkey dinners with all the fixings and a large variety of sweets and treats. But what if you want to do something a little more low key for your holiday event, yet still just as classy? A gourmet luncheon may be just the holiday event you’ve been looking for!

I decided to throw a little lunch party recently for a few friends, and I knew just where to start when it came to planning the menu. Happy Planet Fresh Soups are the perfect gourmet addition to any meal, and I decided that a simple menu of the new West African Squash and Cashew Soup with Open-Faced Apple and Gruyere Sandwiches would be the perfect way to impress guests without too much effort!

Wake Up with an Easy Three-Star Yogurt Parfait Recipe

August 13, 2015 by Kathryn 31 Comments

Everyone knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and to ensure that I have the energy I need when I’m especially busy, a good breakfast is a must. This month, as part of the President’s Choice Guiding Stars program, I was challenged to create a recipe using only ingredients that the program has awarded three stars.

Since so many women find it hard to enjoy a nutritious breakfast, I decided to share my quick and easy Berry Yogurt Parfait recipe! It’s filling, packed with nutrition and uses all three-star ingredients!
