A client told me last week that she loves Caesar salad, but her doctor told her that’s the “wrong” kind of salad. Truth be told, I like Caesar salads too, so I thought this would be a fun one to tackle on the blog. If you’re focused on heart health…
June 30 Weekly Meal Plan (School’s out!)
This week’s meal plan will be unique because my kids are going fishing in Saskatchewan, so I’m planning more adult-friendly food and experimenting with a few new recipes. My preference is vegetarian with a bit of fish, so it’s that when the kids are away. If you missed them, you…
