Here is a list of inexpensive, healthy foods to help you feed your family nutritious meals without spending a lot of money: There is a common misconception that in order to feed your family healthy food, you need to spend a lot of money.

Spring is here and that means that outdoor summer activities (including swimming on the Toronto island) are near! Throughout the past few months, I have been amping up my health routine to ensure that I am ready to take on some extremely challenging bike trails this summer. This caused me to turn toward once of my favourite vices, coffee. 

Coffee is my saviour. When I am commuting in Toronto, I start with a cup of coffee and I continue to consume caffeine throughout the remainder of the day. One thing I've noticed is that I am beginning to lose my caffeine buzz and I cannot even imagine how many creamy calories I am ingesting. A friend at work suggested I shake things up with Bulletproof Coffee. To say the least -- this coffee is delicious. Not only is it a tasty treat, but it also recharges my batteries and I do not get the post-coffee withdrawals. PLUS it will be a great pre-bike boost!

Don't let this season pass you by without exploring our awesome city. This blog is an incredible source of inexpensive, fun things to do in Toronto. Check them out and join me on a spring exploration of the best parts of T.O.

I can't say that cleaning is my favourite past time, but you can't be a good homeowner unless you are willing to roll up your sleeves and clean out your closets. This year, I want to honour my love of the outdoors by using greener cleaning products. I have read a lot of blogs about how to get a green clean without breaking the budget.

Mountain biking is more than an outdoor activity, a hobby, or a sport. It's a lifestyle. I don't know what I want to do with my life, I just know that I want to ride my bike until I can't ride anymore because I feel at home in the woods. In the saddle is where I belong. A genuine (BUT HEALTHY!) addiction.

I was searching on Pinterest (where I snagged the above image) and thought to myself, "How beautiful would a bike ride be in Niagara?" So, I figured I'd do a little research and choose a place to pedal in one of Ontario's most beautiful spots.

Here are some great resources if you too want to go cycling in Niagara:

I want everyone to take a moment to look at this beautiful picture overlooking Lake Ontario and to say "goodbye" to the cold, snow, ice and sleet that kept us locked up all winter.

The best backyard patios in Toronto make you feel as though you've stumbled upon a hidden gem. But as most people who try to snag a Saturday night or Sunday brunch spot know, the patios on this list are anything but undiscovered spots. These backyard patios offer all the boons...

What kind of Torontonian would I be if I did not share the best backyard patios in our city? I have come to absolutely love Blog T.O. They are always posting highly relevant content that gives people in Toronto the chance to really get out, get active and enjoy our city.
