Okay, I know canned chickpeas are already a budget friendly option but why not make it even EASIER on the wallet? Cooking chickpeas in an electric pressure cooker is so straightforward and hands off, it’s an easy way to save on your overall grocery bill!

It’s amazing how leaves can fill in a space! What’s growing well in your garden this year? My zucchinis, beans, beets, herbs, lettuce, jalapeños, and carrots seem to be doing well. We had a couple watermelons growing but the stupid squirrels stole them! My cucumbers and tomatoes are not great this year. You just never know what will grow! At least I don’t have a clue as to what I’m doing, lol. It’s so satisfying to see food grow in your own yard though! #howitstartedvshowitsgoing #gardening #gardenlife #mygarden #mygardentoday #mygardenthismonth

Definitely one of the top recipes on Smart Nutrition. AND WITH GOOD REASON! These pineapple chicken tacos are easy and will feed a crowd. Well, a small crowd anyhow. Or they’ll provide dinner and all your lunches for the rest of the week!

I can fairly confidently say never about all of these. Okay, okay, I may occasionally break rule number two. But I’m only human, alright?? #reeloftheday #reelsinstagram #dietitianapproved #dietitianlife #dietitiantips #nutritiontips #winnipeg #winnipegdietitian #canadiandietitian

I’m not talking coupons, loyalty programs, or even theft 😳. This is a legit way I typically get something free every other week at the grocery store! It’s called the Scanning Code of Practice (in place in Canada 🇨🇦. I don’t know whether other countries have something similar). Essentially is the price at the toll rings up higher than the displayed price, you get the item free! (Up to $10). Do you watch the prices ring up as the cashier is scanning? Have you ever asked for the scanning code of practice to be followed? I’d love to hear your experience!

It’s not summer unless I make this salad! Quinoa is one of the best things to add to a salad because it soaks up the dressing without changing its own texture (how does it do that??!!). Do you know where else soaks up the dressing? The broccoli! You’ve never tasted broccoli so good before. This salad is on tomorrow’s Supper Club meal plan. If you’re not on the list yet, sign up at the link in my bio! Each week I send out a free dinner meal plan complete with grocery list. And I’ve just added something NEW: meal prep instructions! If you have an hour or two to spare on the weekend, take the time to prep parts of your meals so that dinner is fast tracked throughout the week! #mealplanning #mealplans #mealprep #sundaymealprep #quinoasalad #summervibes #summersalad #reelsinstagram #reeloftheday #foodreel #winnipegbloggers #recipeoftheday #eatbetternotless #healthynothungry #balance #allfoodsfit

Healthy snack bars that don’t break the bank! You don’t have to spend your life savings 💰 on investing in snack bars! All of these were found in the regular granola bar section of the grocery store and largely fit my rule of thumb for choosing a bar: -max 10:1 ratio of carbs to fibre -minimum 4g protein -less than 8g sugar (FYI, this post is not sponsored 😁) #granolabar #healthychoices #healthyfood #nutritiontip #nutritiontips #reeloftheday #igreels #foodreel #budgetfriendly #budgeteats #canadiandietitian #winnipegdietitian #manitobadietitian

You don’t need a reason to celebrate to make caramelized onions! Especially when your slow cooker is doing most of the work for you 😉 I ❤️ having caramelized onions in my fridge for pizza, hummus, and (now that’s it’s summer) BURGERS 🍔! #mediterraneandiet #jessicastip #lovelife #healthylife #healthylifestyle #health #eatgoodfeelgood #foodie #thenewhealthy #makesmewhole #eatbetternotless #notadiet #inmykitchen #getinmybelly #heresmyfood #mypinterest #foods4thought #healthyfoodshare #instayum #reeloftheday #reelsinstagram #recipeoftheday #eatbetternotless #healthynothungry

Anyone else feeling it??!! Side note: this outfit makes me look like I’m super into the sports teams or something, lol. But it’s just what I threw on to take the kids to the park.
