Confused by Food? Try This Simple Tip

I don’t know about you, but it seems to me like the simple act of eating – what to eat, how much to eat, and when to eat – just keeps getting more and more complicated.

Is organic worth the extra price tag?

Is it dangerous to skip breakfast?

12 Healthy Recipe-Free Meal and Snack Ideas

Today we’re travelling across Saskatchewan and Alberta on route to our new home in Courtenay, British Columbia on Vancouver Island. That’s almost 5,000 kilometers over 10 days in a mid-sized vehicle with two adults, two children, and nothing but our essentials.
