Q&A 10

Is your son in the Ragu tv commercial?? I swear the kid in it looks just like him!

HA! That's funny. I've never seen this commercial before. I wish I could say it was him, but it's not. ;)

Q&A 9

Why do you make your husband and your kids non healthy things and make yourself something healthy for dinner? It doesn't make sense to me that you wouldn't want to teach them healthy alternatives.

This is a good question that has a simple answer. My daughter normally eats the same as me. My husband and son will NOT eat most of the "healthy" food that I make. If I can "sneak" items like quinoa into stews or chickpeas into chilli, it gets eaten. My husband is OK with turkey sausage every now and again, but not every time. He also feels that meat at each dinner is a must. My hope is that with time, my son especially, will start to eat more like I do just by seeing me eat it all the time. Believe me, if I could stop buying pre packaged crap cold turkey, I would. But it's not that simple when you have others tastebuds to take into consideration.

What's your favorite thing about being Canadian?

Oh, I am very proud to be a Canadian! I love that we have great health care and that we're a bilingual country. Although I complain about the winter months, I wouldn't trade having four seasons for heat year round. But you just asked for one thing, right? I better stop here! :)

How does your hubby feel about the blog?

He's OK with it. At first he thought it was ridiculous and he still doesn't read it, but he's gotten use to me doing it. I started using WLW back in the summer which cut my posting time down A LOT and he appreciates me not spending so much time at the computer. Also, I think some of the products I've received to try and review on the blog have helped win him over! LOL!

Q&A 5

do you and your kids ever eat the same thing for dinner?? are they just too picky to eat what you eat or what?

Actually, I'm the picky one. My kids and husband eat the same meals each night. They enjoy mac n cheese, Lipton Sidekicks, breaded food, meat, lots of pasta, etc. I'm not a big meat eater and prefer veggies and grains. My daughter will often eat what I'm having, but the boys are hard to change. My hope is that if they see me eat 'better for you food' each night, they'll eventually want to try it, too.

What's your fave restaurant?

My favourite restaurant is a local one called Einstein's Cafe. The menu is small, the food is cooked fresh to order and the service is spectacular! It's situated in an old house and when there you truly feel like you're at a friend's place for dinner.

Q&A 3

one thing you can't live without? either food or anything else.

First and foremost would be my family. They're the most important, for sure.

But you did say "thing" so to that I would have to say books. Any kind of book. Reading is an essential part of my life as it calms and relaxes me.

Hey there! I am from Toronto as well and was wondering where you buy Chiobani greek yogurt? So hard to find low fat greek yogurt. Even the whole foods across the street doesn't carry it! thanks!

Hi! I bought the Chobani while in Michigan in the summer. We don't have it, or Fage or Oikos here in Canada... Bummer....
