why
Nourishing & Simple?

I chose the name Nourishing & Simple because my mission here is very simple :  I believe food has the ability to nourish both our body & mind. It allows us to move, laugh, work and live our best lives. Food has a wonderful of bringing us together with our friends, family, culture, and communities. Even just the smell of our favorite meals can bring back the emotions we felt from some of our most cherished memories.

Cooking a yummy meal doesn’t have to be complicated or take hours to make! Fresh homemade meals can still be simple, without having to give up flavor or nutrition. That is why I’ve started creating more “simple” recipes to help make cooking enjoyable again!

Credentials

I am a French Canadian gal from a small town (Amos) in Quebec. I began baking when I was just a little girl, and as the years went on my love for food grew bigger and bigger! This passion for food, mixed with some major curiosity about health, led me to enroll in a nutrition program at Laval University in Quebec City. This is where I got to learn how to cook REAL meals (not just desserts! Lol). 

My boyfriend Nic is a professional hockey player, currently playing for the Vegas Golden Knights. After graduating from Laval University with a degree in Nutrition (Dec. 2019), it was time for me to pack my bags and head out West: Viva Las Vegas! Being a Canadian in Las Vegas mixed with all the “unknowns” of this wild hockey life… I knew that in order for me to pursue my passion as a Registered Dietitian, I would have to find a new outlet. And this is how Nourishing & Simple was born! I am so excited to be able to share with you all the wonderful gifts food has to bring us, from anywhere in the world! After all, we never know where this hockey journey might bring us!

In today’s digital age, there’s an overload of information when trying to determine what is actually “good” for us and what isn’t! I know first-hand how overwhelming it can be, which is why I felt so inspired to start this blog. My hope is to serve as a credible source; where you can find valuable nutrition information, share simple yummy recipes, all while helping you build & maintain a positive mindset about food.
