Delicious & Healthy Summer BBQ Recipes!

Finding healthier summer recipes is always a treat! Here are a few of the recipes Keith & I have fallen in love with this summer!

The first recipe is for a Korean-Fusion Burger!

Burger

We used the Korean-Style burger patties from Sobeys, and we have also tried the Lean Sirloin Compliments brand as well! Both delicious! If you have some extra time, make your own patties using extra lean ground beef, or turkey!

BBQ up the burgers!

Sauce

Mix together 2 tsp of wasabi paste, 2 tsp ginger paste, 2 tsp soya sauce (reduced sodium), and 1/4 of low-fat mayonnaise or similar dressing.

Pickled Slaw

Combine 2 cups of pre-made coleslaw, with added sliced red onion to 1/4 cup white vinegar and a sprinkle of sugar.

Bun

Thin buns!! Our new favorite burger and sandwich-makers!

Side Dish

We BBQ'd corn on the cob - still in the husk! Delicious, fresh, and summery!

The next recipe is for Sweet Onion Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Creamy Coleslaw!

Sanwich

Use 1 chicken breast per person - slice thawed chicken in half, length-wise. Brush on a light coat of extra virgin olive oil and salt & pepper to taste. BBQ on medium until thoroughly cooked. Add Sweet Onion bbq sauce, after 1st "flip" to taste. Make your own, or buy pre-made!! We enjoy Sensations brand, by Sobeys!

Creamy Coleslaw

Mix together 1 cup of coarsely grated carrot, 3/4 cup of shredded cabbage, 1/4 cup of sliced red onion, 2-3 tablespoons of low-fat ranch dressing (or another of your choice), fresh parsley, and the juice from half a lemon. Set aside until chicken is finished.

Bun

Thin buns!! Our new favorite burger and sandwich-makers! After chicken is cooked, add coleslaw and chicken the warmed buns (use toaster or grill)!

Side Dish

We grilled delicious and fresh red peppers on the BBQ! So yummy and fresh :)

Enjoy!

Mom & Me Fit, Prenatal Fit, Family Fit, & Mom & Me Yoga in Edmonton!! Our new Fall 2017 Schedule is here!

The evening air is cooler, the sunrise is later, and it seems like we are all settling back into our routines. I love fall. I love the crisp breeze and wearing scarves. Even for those of us not in school or without little ones in school yet, the fall is still a great time to hit a reset button. Small changes in our daily routine can have huge impacts on our health and overall fitness goals. Wake up 15 minutes earlier each day to sneak in a quick sweat or stretch. Challenge yourself to test out one new healthy recipe weekly. Carry around a water bottle to make sure you are hydrated. Focus on your alignment throughout your work day or while playing with your little ones. Schedule a class or two to attend every week to make yourself accountable to others. These are just a few ideas, but the list is lengthy! How are you adding a little extra health to your daily life? A little does go a long way and remember, do not strive to be perfect. Strive to find a healthy balance ...

photo by Roughley Originals Every single one of us is different. One of the most amazing aspects of my job is to witness the vast differences between each pregnant body as they exercise and how their body transforms postpartum. Most women will have similarities between their own pregnancies and births. Many women can even find a few similarities with other women as they discuss their stories. I think you would be hard pressed to find two stories more similar than mine and Jamie’s are, which is truly incredible, as we have only known each other for 18 months. That being said, they are not identical stories and for that reason I will also be sharing my story of regaining strength, alignment, and function through the help, expertise, and guidance of a pelvic health physical therapist. photo by Roughley Originals After one miscarriage, my husband and I went on to have two healthy pregnancies. Our oldest daughter Brooke was born by urgent cesarean section in April 2014. ...
