Making Healthier Dining Easier! Is it possible? Yes, although is is far more complicated than ingredients lists, and nutritional labelling… Eating healthier is as much to do with what a person knows, along with if they can access healthier menu options. Eating healthier foods is also a challenge amidst the billion plus dollar junk food market…

I’m in love with the food at Guys Cafe in Cochrane, Alberta. Â You can always find healthier options when dining at this cafe. Â They have a wide selection of homemade soups, and breads. Â They also have sandwiches with lots of fresh veggies piled into them. When dining there a couple of days ago, I had…
I chose to go with just the veggie option, and no crispy onions. I didn’t even get Tofu in the dish, because I wanted more veggies! I’d rather have more veggies than Tofu! The sauce that they use is good, but for the meal to be healthy and nutritious for the meal, the sauce should…
I had the pleasure of dining at this unique restaurant with my fellow Health-Focused Foodies a couple of weeks ago from Healthy Dine Out Calgary’s Social Club, and it was a great dining experience! This restaurant prides itself on making their dishes from scratch, and ensuring their food is fresh, and cooked daily. I had yet…
A little gem of a restaurant in Cochrane where you’ll find tasty foods and great service.  Chiang Rai Thai Cuisine’s Mango Salad, yum! The food is always very delectable, and you can find healthy food items with fresh vegetables; the chef avoids frozen vegetables. This time, we opted to try the Mango Salad and boy, was it…
What a restaurant! I had the absolute pleasure of dining-out at the Ravenous Raven Resort’s Restaurant on Texada Island, what a treat it was… Out of all of the tasty menu items, I ended up ordering the Turkey Burger, which was homemade, and was so flavorful.  The Lean ground turkey patty was seasoned with Dijon mustard and fresh…
What a surprise!  Waiting for a ferry in Powell River that would take us back to Texada Island, my two friends and I decided to stop in for lunch at the Thaidal Zone Restaurant.  The Thai food was amazing! I would highly recommend ordering the Gaeng Kari, also known as the Yellow Curry Dish. It had a lot…
I’ve been to this restaurant previously, and by far, my favourite healthy dish is the Palak Paneer. In case you’ve never heard of Palak Paneer, it is made with spinach, spices, and you’ll find indian cheese, along with a bit of tomato with some fresh ginger slices on top of the paneer for decoration.…
Where to start!  I had an amazing lunch that was Raw, Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and Organic at Healthy Funky foods. I was really impressed by the different flavours, the care, time, and attention that went into my meal.  If you are looking for healthy raw foods then look no further.  I’d recommend…
It was an early morning today, and I felt like a healthy breakfast with lots of fruit!  When thinking of what breakfast place to dine-out at that offers a wide selection of seasonal fruits, Cora’s is the place to go.  I opted to have the Peggy’s Poached Breakfast which consisted of about 3 ounces of cottage cheese…
I was really excited to share my discovery with hippoCHAN so I brought her here for lunch as soon as we were free. She ordered a full Chicken Sandwich ($9). It’s made of free run organic chicken breast, tomato, fennel, basil, provolone and cranberry bread. It’s pressed on a panini grill right before service so it was…
