You are invited to…. a Plant-Picnic in the park! Enjoy the nice weather with good food and friends! I am soooo excited to invite you guys to my upcoming event *Plant Based Picnic In The Park* (say that ten times fast!). I can’t wait to meet you guys and fellow foodies living in Toronto. I’ll be…
On this blog I’ve always been totally honest with you guys. With my weight loss, with my struggles with yo-yo dieting and my ever continuing after towards this journey to health so many of us are on and striving towards. And because I’ve always been honest I wanted to share some of what I’ve been…
I’m home! Safe and sound – and it feels great to be back. I arrived in Toronto, early Saturday evening, after a long and turbulence-filled flight. I know it is harmless, but who else is not a fan of crazay turbulence on places? I honestly felt like I was on a roller coaster for a good…
Happy #MoveitMondays! How was your weekend? Can you believe that Christmas is officially ten days away?! Honestly, this month has flown by – this time next week I’ll be home in Toronto with my family, cozying up at home and enjoying my couple weeks of chilly, Canadian weather. I can’t believe it! I’m hoping that…
Who has already started experiencing some real Christmas madness? The shuffle and bustle of the holiday season has started, friends. Students are trying to finish up all their work before the holidays start (hello!), moms & dads are running around trying to get gifts for the entire family, and friends are trying to coordinate the…
Monday is always a fresh start for me. Because #letsbehonest, during the weekend I like to indulge a little in the things I love. Like in this homemade vegan pizza I made last night with friends. (*Honestly, this crust from Sally’s Baking Addiction is to die for.) Or in these beautiful Kale Chips I made…
How was your Fall weekend? It is seriously cooling down there too? I heard it snowed in Toronto last weekend and it’s really starting to get chilly here as well (*though, last year it didn’t snow at all in Belgium – a big stretch from my -30 blizzard-filled winters during my undergrad in Ottawa!). And look…
It is 51 days until Christmas. And 46 days until I go home to Canada for the holidays. BAHH!! I can believe Halloween is over and that I already feel like rejoicing, setting up my Christmas tree, getting my Christmas baking on and getting out my Michael Bublé Christmas album. Too soon? How was your Halloween by…
At the beginning of the month, I love to set goals for myself. It is almost like with every month I get a fresh start to improve or work on myself in some way or another. And at the beginning of each month, I am usually all like: “This month, I am going to run…
If you know me in any shape or form in real life you know that I am pretty clumsy, a bit uncoordinated and have fallen, on more than one occasion, flat on my face while walking down the street (without wearing high heels #truestory). So as you can imagine, my first time doing yoga was pretty comedic…
I’m comfortable in my own skin. Most days. Some days are better than others and with some blips on the way, I am moving towards loving my body as it is, right now. Loving ourselves the way we are, in our own skin – period. Summer 2010, Toronto This can be a difficult, an almost…
You know when you wake up on a Monday, already feeling lethargic, and the last thing you want to do is go for a run, jump through a 30 minute workout video or move your body in any way shape or form? We’ve all been there. And to be honest some days or weeks I…
It was family race day this weekend in Belgium and I came in last – well almost. And guess what? I had an absolute blast. J’s family and I decided that it would make of a fun Saturday afternoon to run a 10k race together and you could say that this race was on a bit of…
Confession time. Over the past couple weeks I’ve noticed some of my clothing fitting a little more snug than usual and have also noticed myself slipping into old habits of mindless snacking. You know what I mean. As in you are working on a paper or doing something around the house and all of the…
When I finally gave up the idea of yo-yo crash dieting (they never work – believe me – I’ve tried them all!) I made the promise to myself to enter into a new chapter of my life filled with an abundance of healthy delicious food, enjoyable & sensible activity, freedom of dieting and gaining control over my life! Taking…
After a weekend of family celebrations, indulgences, enjoying that piece of rich chocolate cake for dessert (and that second glass of wine!) my favorite way to start the week is with my morning run. I love running for many reasons – for my health, to pump up my happy endorphins, to take some time for myself, to kick…
I DID IT!! I completed my first 15 km race in Bruges last weekend and I could not be happier that I completed the race!! If you are not acquainted with the beautiful city of Bruges, Belgium, it is a wonderful, quaint Medieval city located in the Flanders region of Belgium. Running with over 4,000 runners through the cobblestone…
On Wednesday evening I finished my first ten km race! In my very first blog post here at Ceara’s Kitchen I discuss how I’ve grown from a state where I’d lose my breath attempting to run to catch the bus at the end of the street towards becoming one of those crazy people – you know who are you…
Nothing says I love you on Valentine’s Day like a house filled with the aromas of baked apples, cinnamon, vanilla and sugar. I know that Valentine’s Day is usually a chocolate affair, and believe you-me I L-O-V-E chocolate, but these muffins are the perfect dessert to share with your loved ones on this day of…
I’ve discussed on this blog honestly and openly about my relationship with food, weight loss, and healthy living. I wanted to share with the world a few tips that have kept me feeling inspired while I was focusing on losing weight, and even more importantly, how I have continued to live a lifestyle dedicated to…
