The result? A super sweet glimpse into the inner workings of some of our UnDiet vibrant living rockstars! The questions will not change, though we can only imagine how the answers will. FUN! You must know Josh Gitalis by now- he is our Clinical Nutrition Superhero (among other things) and all around superstar. We asked him to answer our Five Qs we love to ask and he happily obliged. Enjoy this little sneak peak into the world of Josh- and yes, the photo above correlates perfectly with his dessert island response. Coincidence? I think not.]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/22/5-questions-we-love-to-ask-josh-gitalis/feed/ 3 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/21/holy-guacamole-crackers/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/21/holy-guacamole-crackers/#comments Mon, 21 May 2012 10:00:01 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=14923 It's patio season and since most patios I know of aren't serving guacamole flax crackers with a kombucha mojito, looks like I'll just have to create my own patio. And so I did- mostly with stuff we found on the street that other people were discarding. Seriously. We made the decision that last Sunday we were going to plant our greens garden and set up a sweet patio and on our to the plants store, we keep seeing old patio discards that were just what we needed. How about that?]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/21/holy-guacamole-crackers/feed/ 2 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/19/long-weekend-recipes-make-these-three/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/19/long-weekend-recipes-make-these-three/#comments Sat, 19 May 2012 14:45:02 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=14941 Happy long weekend, Canadian lovers (and sorry to our international peeps)! And happy Victoria Day, almost? Yay for the 193rd birthday of ol' Queeny Vic. Still don't really get the point of it all, but am I going to raise a stinkeroo about a long weekend? Nopers. May 24 really has become more to Canadians than just a celebration of Victoria Day- it is kinda like our celebrated right to a long weekend. I like that. We come together and cottage, sing by campfires and play in lakes and forests all weekend long. Very Canadian, if I do say so myself. For the international peeps- you should come play! We really do it up right.]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/19/long-weekend-recipes-make-these-three/feed/ 0 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/17/the-world-through-heart-shaped-glasses/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/17/the-world-through-heart-shaped-glasses/#comments Fri, 18 May 2012 01:22:52 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=14916 When was the last time you woke up in the morning and instead of either dreading what the day would bring or being excited about what was to come, you actually took the time to reflect on the goodness bits that remain pretty sweetly constant? See- it's easy, oh so easy, to get caught up in the fleeting moments- the good ones and the bad ones, to recognize that for the most part we are blessed to be stressed about whatever it is we are stressing over. I tell you this today, on the Friday before the long weekend, as I pack up for a weekend with my family at our cottage together, that things are pretty sweet. And with that being said, it's mostly 'cause of you. And because the sweetness is mostly 'cause of you, well, that's why I've been working my tootsy tail off. ]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/17/the-world-through-heart-shaped-glasses/feed/ 3 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/15/online-cooking-classes-meghan-telpner/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/15/online-cooking-classes-meghan-telpner/#comments Tue, 15 May 2012 10:01:42 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=14832 I have been just about bursting at the seams over excitement wanting to share with you every last sweet detail of our forthcoming FIRST EVER online course. We had so much fun around the kitchen getting our outline together for the course, deciding what recipes to include, what would be part of the wicked awesome meal plan and then of course planning and prepping out each and every one of the 20 videos. Deciding what course would be the first, well that was easy. We did have nine to choose from and every one of those nine that I have been teaching over the last four years will soon make their way into video form too. For the first one, we had to go with the one we get the most demand for.]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/15/online-cooking-classes-meghan-telpner/feed/ 8 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/14/we-are-blushing-and-singin-and-dancin/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/14/we-are-blushing-and-singin-and-dancin/#comments Mon, 14 May 2012 18:30:21 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=14882 We know you love our classes (checked out the fall semester yet?) but we are THRILLED to see Travel To Wellness magazine picked the Love in the Kitchen Academy as one of the Top 10 Best Cooking Classes in Toronto. Yipeeeeeeee! How exciting. We are flattered..and blushing. And all the fun things that come along with a sweet, sweet compliment such as that. You can read the whole awesome write up right here.

This weekend I'll be running away to my fave place in the woods with a view of the lake and the smell of freshness. Freshness. That is right. Why? 'Cause I won't be grilling my homies. I am not a huge fan of the old BBQ. Not really. Once in a while we'll light the flame and get some sweet potatoes grilling- but meat, no way. A barbecued burger? Hello cancer sandwich. I think I'll pass. My bestest friends over at Harvard have this to say on the subject:]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/14/summer-bbq-tips-burger-recipe/feed/ 7 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/13/happy-mamas-day/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/13/happy-mamas-day/#comments Sun, 13 May 2012 14:01:14 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=14821 Happy Mama's Day everyone! To all you mamas, babies, babiesmamas...well you get the idea- today is a day to celebrate the lady who gave you everything (read: life). I hope you are getting out there and enjoying the sunshine and maybe some sweet, sweet treats with your mama (or your family, or friends, or loved ones). Here are a few of my fave snaps with my superstar (and Superhero) mom, Patsy.]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/13/happy-mamas-day/feed/ 2 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/12/weekend-videos-watch-these-four/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/12/weekend-videos-watch-these-four/#comments Sat, 12 May 2012 14:25:00 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=14829 Happy weekend, lovers! Yesterday, I announced I would be releasing the first of MANY fully supported, online video courses for you my sweet peeps. I wanted to fully re-create the experience SO many of you have written to me about wanting to enjoy- my workshops and classes. Okay, so I can't fly you all down to Toronto and fit all of you in my kitchen (I still foresee this happening one day...stay with me for that one). Instead, we filmed over 2.5 hours worth of fun and informative videos, and I have been working like a busy busy bee to get the loads of content that will go along with the program finito for your reading pleasure.]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/12/weekend-videos-watch-these-four/feed/ 4 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/11/announcement-the-moment-youve-been-waiting-for/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/11/announcement-the-moment-youve-been-waiting-for/#comments Fri, 11 May 2012 10:00:34 +0000 Meghan Telpner http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=14723 We're going DIGITAL! Or maybe the term is virtual... or online??? I don't know. What I do know is that we have now filmed our first ever full length online course! Yes- that is what all the hints we've been dropping are all about. We are slowly but surely working our way through all of my classes and workshops to make them fully accessible online for you to learn, laugh and cook along with no matter where in the world you are. Exciting, right? The first set of 20 videos were shot a few short weeks ago and over here we're busy getting the finishing touches on the print materials that will go along with them. So, so, soooo many people email us every week asking if we have plans to put the course online, if they can get a copy of the handout, if we record them... All that jazz.]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2012/05/11/announcement-the-moment-youve-been-waiting-for/feed/ 12
