These days feeling stressed and anxious is very common.. The physiologic sigh is a conscious, quick and easy way to jumpstart our parasympathetic (rest and relax) nervous system, calming stress.
Lobster Coconut Noodle Soup
Here is a recipe I adapted back in 2016. With Lobster season in full swing, here's a good way to use up your leftover lobsters (if there are any!). It's a nice, quick and healthy option for those who always may have a little stomach irritation with the full cream in traditional soup. Give this recipe a try, it might just become your new go to for left over lobster!

Golf Workshop
Golf season is just around the corner. There’s nothing quite like that first round of golf in the season. And there’s also nothing quite like that sore feeling the next day.
This workshop aims to help bring the most out of your game. If you haven’t been as diligent as you would have liked performing your off-season golf fitness routine, don’t despair; there is still time to prepare your body for the upcoming season. This workshop will give you take home handouts and cover the following information:
Simplified Caesar Salad Dressing
Salad season is on the way!
Here are some reasons why you should ditch the bottled dressings and spend an extra 5 minutes making your own:
They are full of artificial flavours
They contain unnecessary sugars (like high-fructose corn syrup…who needs that on a salad… or ever?)
Bottled dressings are also made with tons of preservatives to prolong their shelf life … ever wonder why they don’t expire for 2 years?
These types of dressings are also loaded with trans-fat (the bad kind of fat!)
All that being said, there are some bottled dressings you can buy with some clean ingredients and lower on the preservative side (these can be pretty pricey for a bottle though). The bigger picture here is that if you are making a dressing from scratch it’s going to 1. Taste better not only because its super fresh but also because you made it yourself (isn’t that always the way!) 2. You don’t have to have 10 bottles of half used dressing in your fridge for years and years and years…you get the point. If you make your own, you can make as much as you need and there is no waste! 3. You can control the ingredients you put in your dressing, if there are any dietary restrictions or allergies this is the perfect way to know exactly what you are getting!
The recipe for this salad dressing is a Caesar style dressing, its light, healthy and full of flavour!
Caesar Salad Dressing:
Ingredients:
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 clove of Garlic
2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tablespoon Tamari (or coconut aminos)
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Dijon Mustard (I like to use an organic brand and make sure it is free of canola oil)
Sea Salt & Pepper to taste!
Directions:
Put all ingredients in a food processor, blend until smooth. You can also use an immersion blender or even a regular blender! If you don’t have any of those, make sure the garlic is minced well and whisk all ingredients together and let stand for a few minutes before using to make sure all the flavours come together.
Enjoy & happy BBQ’ing!

Leg Cramps
If you’ve ever woken up in the middle of the night with leg pain, you may familiar with leg cramps. Leg cramps can last from a few seconds to up to 10 minutes and are characterized by a sudden pain due to shortening of a muscle. It occurs most often in the calf, but can also occur in the other parts of the body (though it is less common).
