The Healthy Traveller

Finally made it to @rosensbuns and got to sample the Chrismukkah special (with egg nog glaze) alongside my regular cinnamon roll. Just saying, a pack of these would be a great host gift for any parties you might be attending. (at Rosen's Cinnamon Buns)

Montreal has many delicious chocolate shops, but the most charming has to be the third-generation Chocolats Andrée, where they are all still hand-dipped and prepped using seriously retro equipment. (at Chocolats Andrée)

Once a grand Royal Bank lobby, now a trendy café and coworking space. The best part, besides a Sunday afternoon tête-à-tête with @svetayasofiya? Sit down, open the website and order your food and drinks online for table service, rather than waiting online. #gomedia2016 #mtlmoments (at Crew Collective & Cafe Montreal)

Alaska, where you can kayak up to glaciers.

Went on a sightseeing tour over glaciers on our way from Homer, Alaska, to @stillpointlodge. The texture of the ice is incredible.

Arrived in Alaska last night for a new-to-me travel conference, #atws2016 - the Adventure Travel World Summit. But before they shut us all up in conference rooms, we get to explore parts of this massive state, so I'm off to Homer today and then @stillpointlodge for some outdoor adventure and R&R. (at Anchorage, Alaska)

On the dumpling trail in Richmond, BC. (at Su Hang Restaurant)

Lussier Hot Springs has been on my to-visit list for a long time. A natural hot spring that flows into rock pools someone thoughtfully filled with gravel, it's a bit sulfurous and exceedingly picturesque. A couple of the pools are cold so you can (and I did) do a hot-cold circuit worthy of any fancy spa. (at Lussier Hot Springs)

Yesterday at golden hour. (at Bertram Creek Park)

This salad I had in Penticton on Saturday was almost too pretty to eat. Almost. (at Craft Corner Kitchen)

Our fantastic Penticton bike tour with @hoodooadventures started with a tunnel on the Kettle Valley Rail Trail and ended with tastings at the area's top distilleries and breweries. Oh, and pizza. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🚵🏼🍸🍻🍕 (at Hoodoo Adventure Company)

When in Osoyoos, go walking in the desert. (at Nk'Mip Desert Cultural Centre)

The "peas and carrots" @hfciderbar: much more exciting than they sound. (at Her Father's Cider Bar + Kitchen)

Went east of Yonge today (!) and couldn't resist stopping in at @ladiperie for a soft serve cone. I love that they serve a mini size (just $1 with no dip) and have a million dip and topping options to choose from. (at La Diperie)

Threw in some fresh red currants while making stewed rhubarb last night and ended up with the most vibrant shade of red.

A Quebec City outtake for #reddoorsundays.

Visited the new @greenhousejuice/@crownflora on Queen West this afternoon. Juice, smoothies and plants all in one place - what's not to love? (at Greenhouse Juice Co.)
