Eat with the Seasons for Optimal Health

I recently wrote an article for StayFitAnywhere's monthly newsletter on how eating seasonally can improve your health.

Summer is the easiest time to eat seasonally, as there is an abundance of food available in BC!

Check out my article, and learn about how eating local, seasonal foods can lead you to optimal health, protect the environment, and support your local economy!

If you are ready to start shopping locally, find out when and where your local farmer's market is happening, here. Or, take the kids, or the bikes on a local farm tour and collect some tasty seasonal food along the way!

The newsletter also has some great tips for ways to enjoy the sunshine and build your fitness at the same time, so read on....

Whole Grains Workshop - Success!

Last night I hosted a Cooking with Whole Grains workshop, in partnership with Cari Snell of www.canigettherecipe.com. It was a great success!

Participants learned about the importance of eating whole grains for optimum health and nutrition, received lots of resources and tips on shopping and preparation, and learned to cook 5 amazing, delicious whole grain-based recipes!

Pictures of the evening, and all of the tasty food will be posted here soon!

If you are interested in attending one of these workshops, please contact me, as we are scheduling more dates now!

Also coming up, I am hosting 'Baby Steps: Introducing Solid Foods', on July 8th at 2:30pm. Click here for more info.

In the next couple of weeks I will also be announcing a date for my workshop 'Foods for Fertility: Whole Foods for Couples Trying to Conceive'. So watch this space!

Happy Canada Day, and 4th of July! More blogging next week, for now - a few days of well-earned vacation! :)
