Hi Beautiful Brides-to-be,


Do you think carbs have developed a bad rap? If you shy away from eating carbs then I have a healthy recipe for you that will allow you to indulge guilt-free! I recently visited Matt Rosen, head chef of FOUR Restaurant. He shared his recipe for a delicious focaccia flatbread that won’t break the calorie bank. All the meals at FOUR are nutritionally balanced and are under 650 calories. Watch us bake up this quick dish in the kitchen!

Hey there Smart Brides,


Do you think salad is nothing more than boring lettuce and tomatoes? Well, let me expand your horizons my friends! Head chef Matt Rosen from FOUR Restaurant was kind enough to invite me into his kitchen to learn how to prepare a salad so fantastic that it can be a main dish!


I wasn't always a lover of beets, but this salad is guaranteed to make a believer out of even the toughest critics! Watch the video of us preparing it here and bon apetit!

Friday Fitness: Soup's On!

TAGS: BOOTY CAMP FITNESS, FITNESS TIPS, HEALTHY EATING TIPS, SAMMIE'S COOKIN' AGAIN

Hey there Blushing Brides,

Soup’s gotten a bad rap from those who have tried the cabbage soup diet, but the soup recipes we've cooked up are sure to impress your palate!

Tell me, how do your taste buds react to the thought of a warm, delicious, Malaysian Coconut Soup? Mouth-watering right? I thought so!

One of my favourite restaurants in Toronto, FOUR, invited me to their kitchen so I could learn how to make this soup at home.
