Blueberry Protein Bars

christinajbartlett — Thu, 27 Aug 2015 01:40:31 +0000

Calgary has been smoked out for the last few days, the forest fires from Washington creeping up and settling like smog over the city. We actually witnessed one of the fires in its early stages while driving through Montana a couple of weeks back with my parents (visiting from NZ). It was unreal. A massive […]

Matcha Green Tea Protein Bars

I’ve been enjoying reading over at Anna Sward’s ProteinPow – the girl who created a whole cookbook of recipes using protein powder, who makes Triple Chocolate Layer Protein Cakes and Lemon Meringue Protein Pie, where basically every element includes a form of powdered protein. I know how crazy difficult certain protein powders can be to […]

pumpkin chocolate brownies

It was time to whip out the studio lights this week – not ideal but despite living in the sunniest city in Canada it is still darn-well pitch black by the time I finish work and take public transit home (never thought I would be a daily public-transit-er! However, I never thought I would live […]

banana oatmeal cookies

christinajbartlett — Thu, 23 Jan 2014 03:07:58 +0000

It’s been a jungle of change for us recently. Over the last few months we have packed up our lives, moved city, travelled to New Zealand (me), lived in a hotel for 6 weeks straight (Jesse), started new jobs, set up home from nothing, found new friends, attended (far too many) new churches, got new […]

chocolate chia energy balls

Norman Wells has been home to us a year now. This day, one year ago, we flew overhead the tiny town, landed on snow and stepped out into a blizzard. What better way to celebrate a year in Norman Wells with another blizzard, two weeks spent apart from Jesse, and a daunting feeling of homesickness. […]

winter tuna pasta salad for growing muscles

christinajbartlett — Sun, 03 Mar 2013 00:41:57 +0000

I haven’t posted much recently because, to be honest, my food has not been very interesting. Sliced fruit with nuts, roasted vegetables and quinoa, breakfast oats with yogurt, protein shakes and tuna pasta salads don’t look so great on here, and I get the idea you want to see more things like red wine cupcakes […]

chocolate raspberry {kidney bean} cake

christinajbartlett — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 03:58:43 +0000

I had this slice in front of me at my desk at work. It was 10am. And I ate it. All. Got the odd look from coworkers, the “are you eating chocolate cake for breakfast?”. Yes. Yes I am. And it’s probably more nutritious than the breakfast I ate 3 hours earlier. And that icing? […]

At the start of this week: Jesse traveled over to Kansas City, USA for a week of flight training Our food mail arrived, with a HUGE load of fresh vegetables I realized I had hit bit of a wall with my nutritional eating and workout plan – not a good thing to happen before winter […]

pumpkin pecan protein parcels

christinajbartlett — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 03:29:24 +0000

They’re really just muffins. But, you know, I couldn’t resist. So we’ll call them parcels. Little parcels of joy. Moist, hearty, spiced. With a crunch from toasted pecans, loads of protein to satiate and a sweet craisin in each bite. But first. Norman Wells is becoming beautiful. The sun rises after I arrive at work […]

pearl barley & blueberry pancakes

christinajbartlett — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 00:04:30 +0000

It was with great excitement I received a pile of parcels yesterday. Just like Christmas, everything comes all at once. The mail must get held up in Edmonton or Yellowknife, then Buffalo finally gets the chance to bring it up to Norman Wells. I’ve already mentioned how exciting mail is. But unless you’ve experienced isolation […]
