I have heard it all
One of my gym clients sent this to me and I thought I would share it. I seriously thought this was
really funny because it is so true. Almost everything in this video I have heard before. Make sure you
watch the end. I love all my clients and for those of you that are watching this and laughing because
you say this stuff to me, just know that you are not alone.

Labels: Calgary grass fed meat, Calgary meat suppliers, grass fed meat, meat suppliers
I have been getting a large number of emails lately asking where to find grass fed meat in Calgary so
I thought I would post a few sources to make life a little easier for some of my readers.
Fist off I want to share a link to a Slow Food Calgary that I find very helpful for myself and my
nutrition clients. Slow Food Calgary offers names of local farmers that provide quality produce and
meat to surrounding restaurants, retailers and consumers. There is also a list of dairy suppliers and
additional products that you may find helpful. There are a lot of great farmers providing exceptional
quality products around Calgary but sometimes it's hard to know where to look. This site takes out the
guess work.
Another great site is Eat Wild. They have an extensive list of suppliers that have grass fed beef.
Where do I go?
Planet Organic
Community Natural Foods
Amaranth
Eat Food For Life
SPUD
Blush Lane
Calgary Farmers Market
Sunnyside Market
Kingsland Farmers Market
Bearspaw Farmers Market (when in season)
Bon Ton Meat Market
TK Ranch (they deliver with large orders)
Horizon Meat (carry a wide range of free range meat and wild game)
For my Lethbridge friends:
J & M Farms
Pura Vida Farms
There are many more sources I am sure but this is a few to get you started. Please share where you
are finding your grass fed meat in the comments section.

Happy New Year!! I have had an amazing two weeks off school and worked very little but I can say
that I am not rested at all. My fault entirely for having way too much fun over the break. Can you
ever have too much fun though? Now that I am back to workouts and my "normal" life it's time to get
back on eating clean. My body is definitely in need of good clean food. I have been fighting a cold so
time to increase ginger and garlic in my meals to help combat the bugs.
I have been craving Pho lately, especially before Christmas when I was freezing to death in the
hockey arena watching Aidan's games and practices. It's super easy to make my version and I heap it
with vegetables and cilantro for added nutrients. I feel like I can never be too sure that when I order
it at my Pho go to in Calgary, ask to make sure there is no MSG, that I am really getting a legit no MSG
soup.
I came up with this very quick recipe and it's pretty darn good if I do say so. I did use 100% buckwheat
noodles but if your not feeling the buckwheat, zucchini noodles are also amazing or traditional rice
noodles. You do need to have low expectations here, this is not like the Pho you would find in a
fantastic Vietnamese restaurant, however a quick chicken soup with Pho qualities.
Chicken and Vegetable Pho
makes enough for 2 large bowls
1 liter chicken stock
1 inch piece of ginger, grated
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp fish sauce
2 star anise pods
1/2 cinnamon stick
4 cloves
1/2 small onion sliced thinly
chicken, sliced or shredded
1/2 pkg buckwheat noodles (prepared according to package directions)
handful of broccoli
handful of cauliflower
2 carrots, thinly sliced
cilantro or Thai basil
bean sprouts

lime wedges
chili paste (optional)

Labels: Main, Pho, soup
Add garlic, sliced onion and ginger and 1 tbsp coconut oil to a large pot over medium heat, saute until
onion is soft. Add in chicken stock, cinnamon stick, cloves, star anise and bring to a boil.
Turn down the heat to medium and let cook for 10 minutes while you chop the vegetables or at this
point I add raw chicken and let it cook. If your using cooked chicken, skip this step and add your
vegetables. Remove the cinnamon, cloves and star anise. Add your chopped vegetables and let
simmer until tender but not overcooked, 3 to 5 minutes is usually good.
For the bowls:
Add to soup bowls cooked noodles and chili paste (optional). Pour broth, chicken and vegetables over
the noodles. Top with bean sprouts, cilantro, juice of lime, green onion and serve.

Gingerbread Waffles
I absolutely love warming spices, ginger, cinnamon and cloves. I have been craving gingerbread cake
and chai tea lately. Whenever I see the gingerbread loaf in Starbucks I drool I swear. I had a very
limited amount of time tonight so making cake was out of the question. I came up with these waffles
to sustain my craving and a friend and I shared one for dessert. Craving satisfied!
I have been meaning to post a waffle recipe for a while but I have been too busy with school so I
thought I would do a quick post to share these festive waffles. I did not add any extra sweetener to
the waffles other than the banana so if you want them a little sweeter add a tablespoon of
coconut/palm sugar.
This waffle is Paleo friendly, gluten free, and super delicious. Top with organic butter and maple
syrup or coconut butter and honey. These would also be great with applesauce. I think when the kids
get back I will make them again and serve them topped with warm applesauce and cinnamon.
Sauteed apples or pears would be delicious too, with a caramel drizzle and coconut ice cream. Oh so
many ideas, so little time.
Enjoy!

Butternut Squash Falafel
This is by far the best tasting falafel I have ever eaten. The best part of this falafel is they are baked
and not fried making them nutritious but very flavorful. When you bite into each one they are creamy
in the middle and not dry like your typical falafel. When I am in Kelowna during the summer one of
my favorite cafe's serves a falafel pita packed with lettuce, grated beet and carrot and for me it is a
perfect summer meal.
I came across this recipe, another one of Heidi Swanson's at 101 Cookbooks, using sweet potato. I had
pureed butternut squash with garlic left over from another meal and used it instead of sweet potato.
I served these with roasted beets and steamed beet greens with a goat yogurt dip. Yum! I think these
would make a great appetizer as well.

Labels: Appetizer, butternut squash, cilantro, falafel, Main
2.5 to 3 cups pureed butternut squash
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup garbanzo bean/chickpea flour
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp sea salt
fresh cracked pepper
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp olive oil
big handful of chopped cilantro
sesame seeds for garnish
I started out by peeling and dicing a butternut squash. Place the cubes on a baking sheet and roast
the squash with a few cloves of garlic and a drizzle of olive oil, at 400 degrees until tender.
Puree in batched in a food processor. Place in the refrigerator and let cool.
When the squash is cooled and the spices, lemon, cilantro, chickpea flour and thoroughly mix. Let
rest 20 minutes. Scoop the dough and place onto a parchment lined baking sheet, topping each falafel
with sesame seeds. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 - 30 minutes. Heidi baked her's for 15 but mine took a
lot longer. I took them out when the bottoms were browned.

No Sugar! Oat Chocolate Chip Raisin Cookie
This is one of my all time favorite cookie recipes because it does not contain sugar. I love oatmeal
cookies and to me, these are best when refrigerated. They contain super healthy coconut oil, gluten
free, dairy free chocolate chips, organic raisins and are sweetened with banana. Yum.
The original recipe for this cookie is from a fantastic blog I follow, 101 Cookbooks. Heidi Swanson has
two vegetarian cookbooks, is a super talented chef and photographer. If you have never been to her
site go check it out, so inspiring.

Peanut Butter Cookies
This is the easiest cookie you will ever make. This cookie is flour free so for those that are avoiding
gluten this is a great soft and chewy cookie. It is Christmas after all and I have been playing around
with a few cookie recipes and trying to come up with a few new favorites. My kids love peanut butter
cookies and have been begging me to make them. This recipe I found at Gluten Free Girl and the
Chef was on my list to try out.

Although the recipe does not contain flour it still, of course, contains sugar. I try to use the healthiest
form of sugar whenever possible and this time I used organic cane sugar but next time I might try
coconut sugar or maple syrup.
My kids get very tired of my Paleo experiments and just want "real cookies" from time to time. They
are leaving for Hawaii on Thursday and I want to spoil them for a few days. They really loved this one.
Peanut Butter Cookies
recipe from: The Gluten Free Girl and the Chef
1 cup of smooth peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp baking powder
Mix all the ingredients by hand in a medium bowl. Scoop the cookie dough onto a parchment lined
baking sheet and press the tops with a fork to make the classic peanut butter cookie top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove from the pan and let cool completely.
Makes about 13 small cookies.

Oat Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
I have come to realize that some people that come into our lives do so at just the right time.
Sometimes it's when you need them or maybe they need you, either way I think fate has a way of
working it out. This recipe is for one of those people that came into my life and has definitely made
my life better. I have met a great group of women that surround her and my life is forever enriched.
She has a little boy that does not love the texture of almond flour but can have oats, and can't have
dairy, sugar and gluten. This recipe should solve all his "can't have and can have" and still supply him
with a treat that taste so good his brothers, that can eat anything, will love it too. The best part is it
takes only minutes to make and no "special" ingredients are required.
First off oats are gluten free but when processed can be cross contaminated with other grains making
them contain trace amounts of gluten if processed in the same factory as wheat. For most of us this is
not an issue unless you have Celiac disease. In this case you can purchase certified gluten free oats.
Second coconut oil is a healthy fat and is great for baking with as it can withstand heat without going
rancid.
Connor I hope you enjoy these cookies. Michelle, thanks for all your support.
Oat Flour Chocolate Chip Cookiesadapted from Chocolate-Covered Katie
makes a very small batch (10 or 11 cookies)
1 1/2 cups whole oats (not instant, not steel cut) - blend them into a flour in a food processor or I use
the Vita-Mix flour attachment
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp coconut oil - warmed slightly
4 tbsp real maple syrup
2 tbsp milk (non dairy or dairy, coconut milk, almond milk etc.)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup gluten free, allergy free chocolate chips or raisins if you want to leave chocolate out
Blend oats to a flour and place the flour in a medium mixing bowl and add baking soda, salt and
cinnamon. In a small measuring cup add the oil, maple syrup and milk and vanilla; stir to combine.
Blend the wet ingredients with the oat mixture and stir in chocolate chips.
Roll into small balls or use a small ice cream scoop and place the dough on a parchment lined cookie
sheet. Bake at 375 degrees F for 7 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly browned.
