There's a soundtrack to this, for sure. But yours might differ from mine. So I'll let you spin it up. Thanks Gary for reminding us of the magic of sunny days, winding roads, and mountain vistas.

On the loss of a pet: Grief takes up residence at Zoé Martin’s place
Three months have gone by since we lost him. "Lost" isn't really the right word. It's not like he ran off into the woods never to be seen again, or that we misplaced him. It is 3 months ago that we made the gut-wrenchingly hard decision to say goodbye to our most beloved four-legged family … Continue reading On the loss of a pet: Grief takes up residence at Zoé Martin’s place
Overnight Oats
Truth be told I'm not a morning person. The only reason I just about make it out the door to work at 8am is because I get out to walk the dog at 7am (and Gary shouts at me - a lot!). Therefore, anything I can do to save time and to ensure that I … Continue reading Overnight Oats
My week on Instagram – Zoé Martin’s takeover

Recipe of the Week: Sweet Potato and Coconut Milk Soup with Brown Rice and Lentils
I'm sitting here with rain just pouring outside. It's not particularly cold, despite it being Thanksgiving weekend, but it is ugly out there and there's nothing better than a hearty soup on a horrid day. I came across this recipe a few weeks back and, being a huge fan of soup, have been waiting for the … Continue reading Recipe of the Week: Sweet Potato and Coconut Milk Soup with Brown Rice and Lentils
Recipe of the Week: Summer Chicken Pot Pie Galette with Herbed Crust
So it's been a while since I posted a recipe post, but that's because my kitchen has been out of action for much of the year and there's only so many one-pot and barbecue recipes in my arsenal! But now my kitchen renovation is almost complete and the new oven seems to like not burning the bottom … Continue reading Recipe of the Week: Summer Chicken Pot Pie Galette with Herbed Crust
Behind the Scenes at IRONMAN Canada
After competing in the IRONMAN last summer, Wellness Almanac contributor Gary Martin elected to volunteer this year. He was awarded Volunteer Captain Award, and shared his account of the highs and (plummeting temperature) lows behind the scenes on his website. With permission, that's reproduced here. Beep beep beep, beep beep beep, a 4am alarm call … Continue reading Behind the Scenes at IRONMAN Canada
