My Kitchen Essentials
Good morning! I got up this morning to take Charlie for her walk and it was actually a bit chilly outside. It's a nice break from the +44 degree Celsius we had earlier this week. It felt like we were walking through an oven! Thank goodness for air conditioning. Harvest 18 has slowly started on [...]
Baby, it’s HOT Outside
Hello friends! It's been a hot minute since I've taken the time to write a blog. I think the last handful of blogs have started with similar sentences... Anywhooo, I just wanted to check in quickly and give you a brief update of what's been going on around the farm. It was exactly two months, [...]
Cooking with Katelyn – Volume 2: The Instant Pot Edition
Good evening! It's been a hot minute since I've had some free time to sit down and write a post. And when I say free time, I mean I am currently neglecting my long list of to-do's... Don't worry, it will still be there waiting for me when I am done here. We're still seeding. [...]
Cooking with Katelyn – Volume 1
Kickoff to #Plant18 has been a pretty staggered start. I was talking to my Mom the other day and she asked how seeding was going. I told her that it was too dry so we had to wait for some rain or for the county to turn the water on. She said ’First it was [...]
Farmher Goes to Conference
Good morning and Happy Easter! I hope you all spent time surrounded by loved ones and had some yummy Easter treats. Mother Nature played a mean April Fool's Day joke yesterday by dumping some more snow across Southern Alberta. I think she forgot it is Spring! Despite the snow, it has been a busy couple [...]
Chocolate + Coconut Energy Bites
It's been a very domesticated Sunday for me. For some reason I woke up and just wanted to be in the kitchen which has not happened in some time. I blame winter 😂 Dinner's in the slow cooker and I made some delicious Chocolate Coconut Energy Bites for snacks this week. These little decadent balls [...]
Onion, Garlic & Rosemary Hemp Avocado Toast
Avocado is basically it's own food group in my world. I essentially eat it in someway shape or form everyday. Here's one of my favourite avocado toast recipes: 2 slices of Little Big Bread (toasted) 1/2 of an avocado (mashed) 20g cooked lentils 1tsp crushed chilies 1-2 tbs Onion, Garlic & Rosemary Hemp Heart Toppers [...]
Coconut Hemp Heart Dog Treats
TGIF! I hope you're all having a wonderful day! I spent my afternoon in the kitchen testing out a recipe for a new dog treat for Charlie. It's almost her 8th birthday! I can hardly believe it. My sweet old gal has started to develop some problems with her hips as she's gotten older, as [...]
See you later, January.
Is it just me or was January the fastest slow month ever? It seems like the cold and grey weather made it seem like winter will never end, but time just flew by. How many more days until spring? I started my new job working part-time at a spin studio in the middle of December. [...]
My 2017 Reflection
I think the word that best describes my 2017 is Change. There have been some major changes that have happened and some little ones that seemed to make big differences. Here are just some of the highlights for me... The Farmer and I woke up on New Years Day as a married couple. Our [...]
Manitoba Harvest Pumpkin Energy Bites
Last night I attended the Lethbridge Local Fashion Show hosted by Great Strides Fine Shoes Lethbridge where multiple local stores showed their beautiful seasonal wears. It was such a lovely evening filled with fabulous shoes, clothing, accessories, and wine! I have mention in a previous Instagram post that on the occasional Saturday you'll see me [...]
1825 Days
In my blog post, 25 Things About Me, I mentioned a little bit of how I met my Farmer. I thought I would share a bit more of our story as it was five years ago today when we went on our first date. Let's start from the beginning. It was a Friday night in [...]
Farm Wife Fail
Good morning and Happy Monday!! Do the words 'Happy' and 'Monday' go together for you? Or is it the opposite? I think Monday's get a pretty bad rap, but I'll admit today has been a doozy so far. My Farmer left last week, in the middle of a blizzard, to head down south to go [...]
What I love about Sunday
Happy Sunday, all! I'd like to start off by saying a BIG thank you to everyone who reached out to me about my last blog post, My Transformation Challenge. After I hit submit on my post, it was like a wave of vulnerability washed over me. As my good friend Brené Brown calls it a [...]
Bradley’s Zucchini Muffins
Hey all, I wanted to share with you another recipe from my family recipe book. But first, a little back story... When I was in high school, I dated a boy named Brad. Brad ate the same lunch every day. He had a peanut butter and honey sandwich wrapped in wax paper, an apple, and [...]
The BEST Dang Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Hi all! Today I am sharing a excerpt from my Family Recipe cookbook. My Ma (mom) made me this book for Christmas one year and I can remember opening it and BURSTING into tears! It was so thoughtful and sweet for her to take the time time to collect the recipes we grew up loving [...]

25 Things About Me
What better way to introduce myself then to hop on the #25thingsaboutme train: Currently hoping I can think of 25 things about me... I have been married for almost 8 months to my farmer, we have been together for 5 years this fall. Our story of true love begins like all do, online. My dating [...]
