It turned out to be a surprisingly busy week and because of that I literally didn’t bake or cook a thing. My tummy hurts and it’s only going to get worse after a few green beers this weekend (and the subsequent drunk eats that occur afterward). I am hoping to get some treats under my belt this afternoon and in the meantime, I’m hoping you get inspired by my favorite flavors of the season from some of my favorite online…
The weekend is here and I’m back in the city and colder than ever. Seriously, my knees are in pain because they’re not used to the cold! So instead of complaining about it, I am choosing to embrace it with a little love from the kitchen. I made this Greek Lemon Soup before I went to LA and it was a hit on my Stories. Why such a hit?! Well it was pretty delicious and looks gourmet but it also can…
Well tomorrow is THE BIG GAME! Even though I have no emotional investment in either team I do love any excuse to host a good party. And I love it even more when I can use said party to bring awareness to an incredible cause that provides a massive impact across the whole world. So I’ve teamed up once again with Stella Artois and Water.org to show you how to throw a Super Bowl party that matters. How can you make your…
I mean, wow. Sometimes I don’t pat myself on the back for recipes but this is so not that time. In an effort to share more detox-friendly recipes with you guys, I whipped up a one of my favorite snacks – hummus. And not just any hummus. EASY HUMMUS. Hummus that you would make and bring to a party and people will be all, “You made this yourself?” And you’ll be like, “What like it’s hard?” and life will be perfect, and…
Ok guys, I apologize for the one photo, but I got a bunch of requests for this recipe when I posted it on Instagram that I just decided to share it ASAP. I love this recipe because it’s clean and healthy, and I can eat it while on my wild rose detox. It’s vegan, vegetarian and you can eat it as a meal in a bowl over a bed of rice or as a side with a protein like chicken breast…
I am actually obsessed with this smoothie. Been drinking it once per day before or after my workouts and I swear it has made a world of difference. If you didn’t catch it on my Instagram (@lexniko) the recipe is simple: Organic Orange Juice Almond Milk Ice Vital Proteins Vanilla & Coconut Water Collagen Peptides Blend everything together and enjoy! See. It really is so simple. I wanted to share a little more detail about the benefits of Collagen Peptides.…
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! I whipped these chocolate chip cookies up over on my Instagram Stories but wanted to share the link here since so many of you DM’d me. Did you ever see the episode of Friends, “The One with Phoebe’s Cookies”? Basically Monica is trying to replicate Phoebe’s Grandmother’s famous cookies only to discover they’re actually just NESTLÉ® Toll House cookies. It is H I L A R I O U S and I highly recommend you watch it…
We are headed in to the Long Weekend and I for one can’t wait to kick things off! I was feeling a little festive so I decided to what better way to get in the spirit than some red & white donuts. Canadians loveeee their donuts – I am not 100% sure but I feel like it’s debatable that they were invented in Canada…so let’s just stick with that fact for the purpose of this post HA! Getting prepped was…
For Father’s Day it’s our family tradition to have a giant Sunday feast with all the fixings. Asparagus, salad, mashed potatoes and the main event, LOBSTER. We love seafood in my house. It’s like a serious obsession. I think it’s partially because it’s so delicious but also because it’s so fun to eat. Nothing beats working for your food and it makes for great dinner conversation (ahem, and competition). So we treat Father’s Day as a big event and when…
You guys. I seriously had the best weekend and you know why? Because I did close to N OT H I N G. Like I had obligations which I was committed to and yes, I did something each and every day but it was such a treat to actually enjoy some time in my city and in my home. So I took full advantage and woke up Saturday feeling refreshed and inspired by my 10 PM TGIF bed time and decided…
