Some days are crazy and I don’t have time to “fix” a snack, or my homemade snack stash has run out. It is challenging if you have a couple crazy busy days doing errands, appointments and just life in general. This is when I grab a tin of sardines or mackerel, drain it, and put some mustard on it, sit down for a minute and refuel. I love the benefits of sardines and mackerel…..Calcium, Omega 3’s, Protein. It is a power snack. The last few days have been crazy. My daughter is getting married, and I am wedding planning. The other day we had dress fittings, piano lessons, pick ups, drop offs. I had a minute to sit down outside in a comfy chair and eat a can of mackerel, listen to the birds, and look at the sky. It was just right. I also find that eating a snack like that holds me over just fine until the next meal, and no sugar crashes. So, here’s to sardines!
About Me

Hello! I am Sam. I am a foodie, baker and a Health Coach who likes being in the kitchen making food. My recipes are all gluten free and there are recipes for different food intolerances as well. If you are looking to incorporate healthier eating habits and live a more balanced life, I hope to inspire you. I have had an obsession with baking since I was ten! I started this blog to share recipes I was making for myself after finding out I had gluten sensitivity and other food intolerances which I have mostly healed, but will always be sensitive to gluten. I went to school for Health Coaching as a second career at Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Nutrient dense food gives the body the best fuel and building blocks to be vibrant, healthy, prevent disease, and maintain great energy as well as heal. I am excited to share delicious food recipes, tips, baking and treats too!
