Welcome to My Kitchen

Welcome to my kitchen! I am so excited for you to be here! To me, the kitchen is the centre of every home. Growing up it was always a hubbub of activity and excitement, providing nourishment both physical and emotional. In the kitchen is where I learned to make my first ever balanced meal (pork chops in a mushroom sauce with rice and some vegetable I cannot remember, which I think is pretty good for a 12 year old!), and where my family would support me through both my successes and my challenges. To me, the kitchen should be a supportive area in the home, where people are able to open up, try new things, and overcome barriers. That is why I want to open my kitchen up to you!

A Dietitian's International Ironman Experience

Ok so first things first... I am not the Ironman here. Dance is and always will be my physical activity of choice. However, this was my fiancé's third ironman, and first in a foreign country, so the experience was a little different than what we are used to. Fueling for endurance activities can be tricky to nail to begin with, so adding on travel itineraries, border restrictions, foreign products, and limited ability to meal prep can really get in the way of proper nutrition. Here is our experience of road tripping from Alberta to California, and attending the inaugural Santa Rosa Ironman event.

GUEST POST - The Pros of Probiotics

by Kyla Gallant-Sova @ Crave Health and Nutrition Inc. - My Kitchen Blog

Wed May 24 14:51:17 PDT 2017

Hi! I'm Taylor. I am a Nutrition student at the University of Alberta, as well as an aspiring Registered Dietitian!  I love cooking up new healthy recipes, or trying new sporting activities such as yoga, kickboxing, or spin classes. I believe that healthy living should be exciting and fun, not something that makes people feel deprived of the good things in life. When you realize that food has the power to improve mental health, enhance your energy, change your mood, and increase your overall happiness, the way you think about the contents of your diet changes and this is something that I aspire to instill in others! The Pros of Probiotics Probiotics are the latest rage in the nutrition world right now, popping up in magazines, books, and the news, but many people do not actually know what they are or how they impact health. When I started to learn about probiotics and their benefits in some of my classes, I decided that I wanted to share the information that I learned with the rest of you as probiotics can have many positive benefits for our health! I also wanted to share some of the yummy probiotic products that I have found.

Thanksgiving is my favourite holiday.

What is there not to love about a holiday that gives you an extra day off work, an excuse to visit with friends and family and all of those delicious fall foods? This pumpkin dessert hummus is a twist on my favourite, the classic cookie dough chickpea dip. It tastes like pumpkin pie, without the added sugars and fat. Serve it with apple slices or mix it with plain greek yogurt and you have yourself a delicious (and healthy) indulgence!

Winter Salad

I am the first person to admit that I am not a huge salad fan. Yes, even though I am a dietitian, I do not like traditional salads. Raw leafy greens are always super awkward to eat, and all of that chewing takes me FOREVER to finish eating. I do however enjoy what I think of as chunky salads... where the vegetables are in bitesize pieces that I can easily eat without having pieces of spinach sticking out of my mouth. I also thoroughly enjoy fall/winter veggies (think squash, beets, all manners of root veggies). It is starting to get cold outside and I find the warmth of squash, beets, etc comforting. This recipe is a mash-up of chunky, easy-to-eat salad style and comforting, delicious winter vegetables. My favourite thing about this recipe is that it is versatile. I have one version that I create just as a vegetable side for meals, and I have a second version that is more of a main course. Although it does take a good chunk of time to make, it is easy to double the recipe and save the extras for leftovers throughout the week. I hope you enjoy!
