5 Ways to Reduce Food Waste in your Home and Eat Healthy
We have a food waste problem in Canada and it’s a huge one. So huge that it’s referred to as a $31-billion-dollar problem. [i]Across Canada we are wasting $31 billion dollars of food, which is 40% of food purchased yearly…..almost half! In addition, research has suggested that we are wasting approximately 396 kilograms of food per capita annually and an average of $28 of food each week per household (that’s almost $1500 a year)!

Chewy Oatmeal Pumpkin Cookies
If you've been following the Eat Right Feel Right blog or social media pages for a while now then you know I am the queen of treats....healthy treats of course. I love nothing more than a warm cookie fresh out of the oven. I love it even more when the freshly baked treat is actually healthy too! So, I have made it my mission to create incredibly delicious but also healthy treats. I typically like to recipe test on a Sunday, unfortunately if my meals or goodies don't turn out

Maple Blueberry Granola
It's almost officially fall, yet the weather is still holding on to summer (at least for one more day). I don't know about you, but I am ready to wear ankle boots, scarves and sweaters.

Quick Veggie Stir Fry
I love making good food taste delicious. I love it even more when it is quick and easy to make. Here is a quick and easy stir-fry that tastes like take-out (amazing). I seriously can't get enough! It is also loaded with veggies and lean protein, providing you with nutrients such as vitamin C, fibre, vitamin A, and lots of fibre! Serves ~3-4. I like to double the recipe so I have lots of leftovers for lunches or other busy weeknight dinners! Last night's quick dinner meal (and

End of Summer Veggie Stew
Here in Ontario we have been blessed with amazing summer weather and even more amazing local fruit and veggies. I have been getting so many incredible veggies from my garden, local farms, and family gardens. To be honest it has actually been a little too much, which has forced me to do A LOT of meal prep and cooking (because I really don't like food waste). One of my favourite dishes growing up was pepperonata. Pepperonata is a southern Italian inspired dish made with lots of
