Bang Bang Burgers were a hit! Use any type of burger you like (veggie, turkey, beef). It’s all about that sweet/spicy/creamy burger sauce. Details in my story but I’ll be posting it to the blog soon, along with that amazing air fried chicken!

Post-quarantine salon 💇 trip! It’s been almos

Post-quarantine salon 💇 trip! It’s been almost 2 years since I chopped my hair to my shoulders to start fresh after wearing extensions to recover from some major postpartum hair loss and iron deficiency.
My hair grows quite slow, and I’ve had trims along the way. The last few months I’ve been doing a new routine and I think it’s helped my hair so much, and all of a sudden it’s growing with much less breakage (even my stylist agreed). Wanted to share what I’ve been using as everything is so affordable and all can be found on Amazon.ca.
First, microfibre hair towels. They are so soft and I think contribute to much less breakage. Secondly, a wet brush which seems to not tug at the hair. I start brushing at the ends then work my way up. Lastly, 2 products I apply before blow drying. The weightless oil I use very little and on the ends. The thermal spray I use all over. Then style per usual.

Turns out my body wasn’t responding well to all the bread I was baking/eating. 🤣 Today made one of my favourite recipes to lean out. 💪🏻Protein Pancakes! Great for grab & go and so many topping ideas. Today I did 2 pancakes filled with a bit of pb and sliced banana. Details in my story, and it’s also a long time recipe on the blog. https://busybuthealthy.com/basic_protein_pancake_recipe/ (link in my bio!)

Looking for an easy idea with a block of tofu? Made this Tofu Greek Salad yesterday. Turned out so good! Just swap out the feta cheese for big cubes of extra firm tofu. Add chopped veggies ( I used cuke, tomato, red pepper, snap peas). Marinade is just a little olive oil, plenty of balsamic vinegar, dried basil/oregano and salt/pepper to taste. I made a bigger batch as it will keep a few days in the fridge. 👌🏻

Not sure about you, but I’ve been majorly lacking in my water 💧 intake lately. Hopefully this will help me stay on top of it! Loving this new bottle and it’s BPA-free, leakproof and has a straw. It’s also wide enough to clean 🧽 properly. It’s 64oz which is the recommended 8 glasses a day. It was a great Amazon find!

I’ve been loving 🥰 seeing you guys bake up a storm! Happy to share an easy bread recipe that’s getting many of you to try making bread for the first time! Since so many of you have mastered the no-knead bread, you have got to try this Focaccia recipe! I’ve tried a few recipes and this one (I’ve probably done about 5-6 times) is my favourite. It’s still easy, just a couple more steps, and it’s never failed me. Recipe here: https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/rosemary-focaccia-bread
Don’t forget to tag me if you make it! Makes my day!!! 💕

Made Baked Chicken Parmesan in my story 🎥 tonight, or as Clara likes to call it, Pizza Chicken. Very easy to switch up breading ingredients and use what you have on hand whether it’s panko, breadcrumbs, or almost stale bread turned into crumbs! We had with pasta, but it’s also great with spaghetti squash. Recipe here: https://busybuthealthy.com/baked-chicken-parmesan-gluten-free/

DIY gel nails! I was due for a fill and wanted the freedom to do it at home. It was my first time, and it took a while 😝but pretty happy with how they came out! Definitely no professional here! I don’t have acrylic powder yet to do a proper fill, I just cleaned them up and put on gel polish. Happy with everything I got on Amazon.ca so wanted to share. The drill I got sold out so tried to link similar. Really love the colour set. Should also mention the base and top coat are smaller bottles (hence the lower price). I linked to everything in the LIKEtoKNOW.it app. Link is in my bio! 💥

Can never go wrong with skewers on the grill! Great way to use whatever veggies you have in the fridge. Here did bell peppers, onions, tomato, pineapple, shrimp. Brushed with garlic butter. Let’s be honest, anything tastes good with a bit of charred edges and garlic butter 😋 #quarantinemeals #skewers #easydinnerideas
