AMAZING! What a super great, fantastic program ! I missed it when I wasn't doing it. I got paired up with wonderful lady named Ceecee who lives in Vancouver. So, of course, being in Vancouver, she had all sorts of access to delicious finds! You can read up on her and her kitchen adventures  here ! So, here we are: Homemade Pumpkin Chia Granola - I ate half the bag upon opening it. OMGSOGOOD. Chocolate covered dried banana - Also eaten as soon as I opened the package Sea Salt Fusion Veggie Garnish Vancouver's Hottest Salt and a tiny cute spoon to go with it Hemp Hearts Espresso Bean Chocolate Bar This was great! Thank you so, so much Ceecee! I'm on Day #5 of the Whole30 (which I'll update on later) so I'll have to wait until after to enjoy the chocolate bar and the other half bag of granola! It'll be such a treat after. I was paired up with Theresa in Delta, BC. I made the package a spicy theme - Black Bean Chips, Spicy Jalapeno Salsa and Ch...

Happy Weekend! Weekends are never long enough! NEVER. I like to sometimes think about what I'd do if I didn't have a job to go to and endless amounts of money. I think I'd travel and cook and workout and volunteer for something that I am passionate about. A girl can dream. I'd also sleep in a lot, and have a really awesome kitchen and all the accessories - like a donut pan and a bundt cake pan and silcone muffin tins. I want all but am too cheap to buy them right now. PS. Can you believe that I have to go spend money on a vacuum!? F*CK.  Anyway, It was a great weekend minus the boring class I took on Saturday. Part 2 of boring class is next Saturday. I'll be glad when this little educational stretch is over! I'll be starting another one come January - the fun never ends! ha. My current goal is to try somewhere new every time I go out to eat. It isn't hard these days in Calgary with all sorts of new places popping up everywhere and well, I live conveniently...

It's no secret that I like the time in my kitchen. My friends are total dears and help promote this by buying me cute aprons to wear while doing my time! They are all incredibly awesome and quite stylish I must say! Friday night I found myself wearing my apron, sweeping my floor and prepping a meal for Sri to come over and eat. I felt pretty damn good about the whole thing! She brought over a couple things she made to share - Curried Turkey Mini Burgers and some Veggie Muffin things for appies. I made a Brussel Sprout, Apple and Bacon sautee which turned out well, some pork chops and a Carrot "Pudding" inspired once again by my girl crush . Both Sri and I are in the midst of a detox thing so everything had to be dairy-free, sugar-free, grain-free and legume-free. All of it was and all of it was delish! I got into some other super (in my opinion) fantastico creations! I made some Yogurt Berry Muffins on Saturday which I didn't try but the reviews came back approved...

Hello! HEY. Hi! Holy. Way to drop the ball Kyla. October 1st and promising I wouldn't drop the ball and here it is, 10 days later. Well, better late than never I suppose!! A unicorn t-shirt! A last Weds surprise from one of my lovely friends!! Thanksgiving was a wondrous occasion!! I started to eat like a mad woman on Saturday and didn't stop until Monday evening. My eating included: my own baking (gasp* - a rarity when I eat my own creations), Peanut Butter Pie (holy sh*t - Peanut butter, dream whip, chocolate, cream cheese, oreo cookie crust.... heaven), Turkey of course, and all the fixings! I got some good friend and family time in. On Friday, I committed to a run, watching numerous occasions of Breaking Bad and then staying up until 2am baking with the mutant zucchini that was donated to me from Michelle's garden. I made a few different kinds of loaves with it, both turned out well, I think... Well, I know one did anyway! Saturday, I did some Crossfit and then vi...

Geezus! If I don't keep this up, no one is going to ever look at my blog. It's been a busy month, and I've been preoccupied with all of the birthday love, and big job changes that have happened in the last several weeks. I would, first of all like to say, "WOW. WOW. WOW." Talk about birthday love overload. My birthday started before my birthday and the love continued until well after... I was spoiled rotten. So much love in the form of food, in the form of notes, gifts, hugs, etc. It was insane. THANK YOU EVERYONE!   Birthday Weekend Duathlon! YAY EVERYTHING FRIEND! xo Sadly, today, I am home sick. I have been fighting it since Friday. I took cold meds, slept, stayed home and here it is...Monday! And sick. Cold, hot, cold, hot, and the chills, I had a 3 hour nap and the old Lipton Chicken Noodle soup remedy and for about an hour felt good enough that I might head to Crossfit but I'm afraid - No. Such. Luck. The smart part of me is going to stay home a...
