WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT Hi everyone! I've been a little (actually A LOT) quiet on here lately but...I've been working on some exciting things for you so stay tuned for updates soon! In the meantime, I have a fun workshop announcement to make - BACK TO SCHOOL BATCH COOKING!... For those of you who know me, you know that batch cooking has been key to my own success with eating a balanced and nutritious diet. When I first started incorporating batch cooking, I felt at ease, less stressed, and empowered in my food choices. For the first time in my life, I was able to be CONSISTENT with my nutrition. And I truly believe consistency (not perfection) is key. Join me on Wednesday, October 2nd for a fun evening focused on BACK TO SCHOOL BATCH COOKING. I'll be sharing my tips and tricks for school lunches, freezer meals, and easy weeknight dinners all of which have some batch cooking components. I want this "healthy eating" thing to feel just a little easier for you. Event Details: - Wednesday, October 2nd from 7-9pm - Beach Grove Golf Club in the Library Room - $35/person What to expect: - Tips and tricks for getting organized in the kitchen - Ideas for healthy meals for the whole family - Take home handouts and recipe package - A fun evening with lovely people in your community I'd LOVE to see you there. Please message me for details and to reserve your spot. Spots are limited and pre-registration is required. xo Keyrsten

SUMMER LOVE// I have some exciting news! I am launching an exclusive nutrition program over the summer called 'Summer Love'. I am only opening 12 spots to ensure that I have time to properly support program participants, so act fast if this is of interest to you. In the past I always struggled over the summer months. I felt conflicted between staying healthy and making positive choices and indulging and "having fun". Once September rolled around I felt like it took me ...a month (or longer) to get back on track and feel like myself again. A couple of years ago, I told myself I didn't want to get stuck in that pattern again. What if I told you you could feel great & make healthy choices while still enjoying the summer, going on holidays, drinking wine and going to barbecues at the beach. Sounds pretty good right? It's all about balanced living. You CAN have it all! I KNOW what you're thinking...."I'll just wait until September". There's never a perfect time to do it. Why wait? Make the leap and join me this summer and get on your way to being the best version of yourself. The 'Summer Love' program includes: - 1 x 40 minute initial session for goal setting and strategizing - 4 x 30 minute follow sessions designed for built-in accountability - Body composition analysis (optional) at each session - Done-for-you menu plans that won't deprive you, are flexible and still allow you to enjoy your summer - Unlimited email support - Weekly email with tips and tricks to help keep you on track - Complimentary entry to two of my upcoming workshops (optional) - Batch Cooking Like a Boss (Thursday July 27 @7pm) & Preserving the Local Harvest (Thursday August 24th @ 7pm) - Wrap up party with your Summer Love community (date and details TBA) Start dates are flexible between now and July 15th. Email me your thoughts and we'll figure something out! Away a lot this summer? Don't live in the area? Don't worry - some or all of the session can be done via phone or Skype. Investment - $350 (Regular retail - $800) Payment plans are available. BONUS - sign up with a friend and you'll each get $50 off. You'll each get your own goal setting and follow up sessions. NOTE - all sessions expire September 30, 2017. Call or email for more details or to reserve your spot: (778)928-1811 [email protected]

For those of you who don't know, I am kind of obsessed with running! Here is a shot of my "running family" who I run with Tuesdays and Saturdays! Sometimes I don't feel like getting out there but I am always glad that I do :)

I was lucky enough to find garlic scapes at the Westham Island Herb Farm this past weekend and decided to make some delicious pesto. If you can't find scapes just use extra basil or parsley instead. @westhamislandherbfarm Keyrsten's Pesto: -12 garlic scapes... - handful basil - handful Italian parsley - 4 leaves kale - 2tbsp hemp seeds - 3/4cup pumpkin seeds - 1/4cup nutritional yeast - salt & pepper - juice & zest of one lemon Add all ingredients, except oil, to blender or food processor. Once chopped, slowly add oil and process until well blended.

#tbt to Nicole and I at Coastal Olive Oils giving our The Truth About Fats talk! Thank you to all who came and shared the evening with us!

Making some Paleo Zuchhini Fritters from @stupideasypaleo + some onions! These are great to serve for breakfast with fried eggs, or served as a patty! Quick, simple, gluten-free, and paleo! http://ow.ly/U0Z8z

Making your own stock is super easy. Just throw some veggies in a crockpot (leeks, carrots, celery, onion) and add some flavour (I used bay leaves, parsley, oregano and black peppercorns). Fill to the top with water and let it cook in the slow cooker on low all day. Strain the solids out and freeze for winter soup making. Takes 5 mins to prep and tastes soooo much better than store bought!

Did you eat a little too much candy over the weekend? It's the perfect time for a nice big salad! This is my current favorite combo. Enjoy! Keyrsten's Winter Salad: -mixed greens (pictured here is arugula, purple kale, chard, collards, and romaine)... -herbs (I used parsley & dill) -shredded red cabbage -thinly sliced watermelon radish (find at Cropthorne farm on Westham Island) -pomegranate -hemp hearts See more
