You guys know that if there are two things I love here at Ceara’s Kitchen it’s quick ‘n easy One Pot Meals and Mexican Food. Combine both of those things and I am one happy cook! This One Pot Mexican Rice is one of my favorite, go-to meals. It’s both a super tasty Mexican dish AND made in just…
I’m sharing with you a get real post today, friends. There is something that I’ve gotten off my chest before but need to write it down again. Diets Suck. Phew. It feels really good to say that out loud.
I’m home! Safe and sound – and it feels great to be back. I arrived in Toronto, early Saturday evening, after a long and turbulence-filled flight. I know it is harmless, but who else is not a fan of crazay turbulence on places? I honestly felt like I was on a roller coaster for a good…
Happy #MoveitMondays! How was your weekend? Can you believe that Christmas is officially ten days away?! Honestly, this month has flown by – this time next week I’ll be home in Toronto with my family, cozying up at home and enjoying my couple weeks of chilly, Canadian weather. I can’t believe it! I’m hoping that…
Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend! I thought I’d switch things up from my regular #MoveitMondays post and share a smoothie with you for Williams-Sonoma Smoothie Week! The folks over at Willlams-Sonoma asked me to create a fun and quirky smoothie for Smoothie Week and I thought what’s better than to create a…
Who has already started experiencing some real Christmas madness? The shuffle and bustle of the holiday season has started, friends. Students are trying to finish up all their work before the holidays start (hello!), moms & dads are running around trying to get gifts for the entire family, and friends are trying to coordinate the…
Monday is always a fresh start for me. Because #letsbehonest, during the weekend I like to indulge a little in the things I love. Like in this homemade vegan pizza I made last night with friends. (*Honestly, this crust from Sally’s Baking Addiction is to die for.) Or in these beautiful Kale Chips I made…
How was your Fall weekend? It is seriously cooling down there too? I heard it snowed in Toronto last weekend and it’s really starting to get chilly here as well (*though, last year it didn’t snow at all in Belgium – a big stretch from my -30 blizzard-filled winters during my undergrad in Ottawa!). And look…
How do you pre-plan your meals when things start getting seriously busy? Like when you are going home in under 40 days and still have upteem papers you need to write and what feels like a million things to do in between. I know it can be hard to eat well when life is busy…
Today is an exciting day here at Ceara’s Kitchen! I started this blog over a year ago as a way to share some of my favorite feel-good eats reinvented into healthy *but equally as good ways*. As many of you know, I also started this blog to help me heal from my past of disordered eating –…
It is 51 days until Christmas. And 46 days until I go home to Canada for the holidays. BAHH!! I can believe Halloween is over and that I already feel like rejoicing, setting up my Christmas tree, getting my Christmas baking on and getting out my Michael Bublé Christmas album. Too soon? How was your Halloween by…
It doesn’t take long to know that I looooooooove to enjoy food. Good Food. Basically, all food. 😉 But it seems that everywhere I look we are told we shouldn’t enjoy what we eat or at-least attach some sort of guilt to what we are putting on our plate. And I lived like this for most…
As many of you know I am not a pro-runner or pro-athelete by any means. Let’s be honest, when I was a kid, I usually was the last one chosen in gym class and up until a few years ago the idea of me running seemed like a totally unreachable and unreasonable goal. When people talked about “running”…
I get asked a lot what I eat. People usually ask me this after finding out that I am a vegetarian (and that I eat a vegan, plant-based diet 98.5% of the time). I think people are just naturally curious and I totally understand why. I’ll never forget the first time I met a vegan…
This weekend was one of those weekends that was just great. A belated Belgian-Canadian Thanksgiving, good food, family, and an awesome 10k family race on on Sunday morning followed by post-run pasta and a movie night with J that involved popcorn smothered in dark chocolate, pecans and a pinch of pink himalayan sea salt (#yesplease)….
At the beginning of the month, I love to set goals for myself. It is almost like with every month I get a fresh start to improve or work on myself in some way or another. And at the beginning of each month, I am usually all like: “This month, I am going to run…
If you know me in any shape or form in real life you know that I am pretty clumsy, a bit uncoordinated and have fallen, on more than one occasion, flat on my face while walking down the street (without wearing high heels #truestory). So as you can imagine, my first time doing yoga was pretty comedic…
I’m comfortable in my own skin. Most days. Some days are better than others and with some blips on the way, I am moving towards loving my body as it is, right now. Loving ourselves the way we are, in our own skin – period. Summer 2010, Toronto This can be a difficult, an almost…
You know when you wake up on a Monday, already feeling lethargic, and the last thing you want to do is go for a run, jump through a 30 minute workout video or move your body in any way shape or form? We’ve all been there. And to be honest some days or weeks I…
It was family race day this weekend in Belgium and I came in last – well almost. And guess what? I had an absolute blast. J’s family and I decided that it would make of a fun Saturday afternoon to run a 10k race together and you could say that this race was on a bit of…
