Healthy Tuna Salad – Great for Lunch

by Destini on March 10, 2014

So its Monday and for most of us, we’re back at work! One thing I personally search for the most on the internet is simple, healthy, YUMMY lunches. I know my mayo-free egg salad sandwich has been a HUGE hit for so many of you, so why not take another popular lunch item, turn it into something……AWESOME.

George and I ate this everyday for work for SEVERAL weeks! It turns a rather cliche lunch into something super flavourful and delicious!

Best part is you can omit the mayo and replace it with plain greek yogurt!!

I hope everyone has a  good MONDAY!

Cheers

March 7, 2014

TGIF! Yep, I couldn’t agree more 🙂 Today we saw SUNLIGHT. I know, may not sound like a big deal to you lucky people in the South…but it has been a very crummy, grey skied, cold winter for us. I was doing some running around tonight and people just looked happier. Crazy how we need sun for our souls. As many of you know we moved into our first house back in the end of October and I haven’t really shared too many photos. When we moved, we pretty much got rid of EVERYTHING. We wanted to start of fresh and new. It has been a process and boy has […]

What I Have Been Reading

March 6, 2014

I have always read a lot, but since getting my Kindle as a Christmas gift a couple years ago, it has increased tenfold! Recently I joined a lovely book club full of some wonderful ladies, and the first book we chose to read was The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion. It was a really cute book, I enjoyed it as a really light read. It revolves around a genetics professor and a total opposite barmaid named Rosie. If you’re looking for […]

A NEW Recipe! – Kale, Quinoa & Sweet Potato Salad

March 3, 2014

I try not to complain too much because -HEY I am an adult, I can move. But here I am, still in Winterpeg. […]
