I have a confession…before I made this recipe; I had never roasted a red pepper. I have a food blog, but I didn’t know how to roast peppers. However, I was driven by the desire to make my favourite f...

Today I have lots of fun little things to share with you… First off…I have some news…for the next two weeks I’m going to be gone on a singing tour with lots of concerts and traveling, so I simply don...
I think the fridge reveals a lot about the health of a person. It also can reveal how organized a person is. To me, when a fridge is not tidy…it actually disgusts me. When I see sticky residue on the...
Now that the outdoors is warming up and I’m enjoying more of this beautiful spring weather, I find myself gravitating to smoothies. There’s just nothing more refreshing on a warm day. I keep making m...
During the week I try to stay away from sugar, but that doesn’t mean I stay away from desserts. Skipping out on chocolate is not Charissa style. The other day I made a chocolate dipping sauce for som...
Hey guys…it’s great to be back after an awesome weekend! For those of you don’t know…I sing in a family band. Once the busy season picks up we’re gone pretty much every weekend. Sometimes we go on lo...

A year ago I didn’t know what protein pancakes were. Now I can’t imagine my life without them. I love them because not only are they full of protein, they’re filling, lower calorie, versatile, ...
I used to be a crazy gum lover. In fact, when I was a teenager I would chew gum every night to help me get to sleep. Yes, that is a strange habit. Then, I noticed that I was getting more headaches. C...
I usually like to hide veggies in shakes…but this time the vegetable gets the spotlight! I’m trying to shake things up with my smoothies (pun sort of intended) and attempt new flavours. Sometimes I g...
Today has been a loooong day. This is why this post is not exactly an early morning post like I usually do. I really needed this… I had this Heart Protein Pancake yesterday again and gaaah, if you ha...
Hey guys! I can’t believe Easter is just around the corner. Happy thought. Another happy thought…only a couple more weeks of my courses and I’ll be free! I am ridiculously excited about this. I’m als...
The common North American parent serves juice to their kids at breakfast. Sometimes orange juice. Sometimes cranberry juice. Maybe a green apple drink? Oh wait. It’s not juice?! Well, how about a fri...
There are tons of amaaaazing apps out there. However, since I have a pretty busy day happening (think course finals!) I won’t tell you about ALL the apps I’m nuts about. However…I w...
Sometimes mistakes are good things. Like this granola. I was on a mission to make healthy cookies and it was an epic fail. So I decided I’d try for granola. Best mistake I’ve ever made. This gr...
I have always loved using natural products, but I have to say, you have got to find the right brands for a quality product. Yes, I’m overjoyed that this or that makeup is natural, but is it long wear...
Today is the first day of spring! However, our home is covered in inches of snow. For the entire winter we’ve had barely any snow and right when we’re supposed to start the whole “green grass a...
