Reinventing what it means to live a healthier lifestyle

Is it donuts or doughnuts? I ask myself that every time. Either way, all I know is that I love them and they love me. My trainer, not so much. It’s why when I recently got back from travelling and needed a bit of a reinvention of my healthier lifestyle, I thought it might be fun to create a twist on a sweet treat to appease even the healthiest of food lovers. Alongside Almond Breeze, a staple in my home and diet, I got to work testing out recipes and think I finally came up with one that you are going to love. Did I also mention that this recipe is both healthier and delicious?

When life comes full circle

As Catherine & I sit down on the #JUNOExpress en route to Ottawa, I can’t help but reread this blog post and feel a sense of nostalgia. As many of you have seen, DoTheDaniel.com has been chosen to be an official blog of The JUNO Awards this year. Five bloggers from Canada were hand selected by Canada’s biggest musical event of the year to bring you the reader (and our followers on social media) behind the scenes.

After enjoying a quintessential Canadian winter, it’s time for us all to stretch and get ready for a sunny and warm spring.

For the next few months, the #DoTheDaniel team will be attending some incredible events and bringing you all BTS with us in the process. But before we jump into what a busy Canadiana schedule looks like, I thought I would take a minute to ask you all what it means to be Canadian?  Continue reading “What does it mean to be Canadian?”

The special moments we have shared

When I stop to think about the adventures that Julio & I have shared over the years, there are some amazing moments and experiences that always make me smile. As exciting as our travels and events around the world have been, some of my favourite moments spent together as a couple have been those we spend at home. I quickly came to realize that it was Julio’s love for Nintendo and Pokémon that made him so endearing when we first started to date. Looking back on our relationship, Nintendo has actually been a huge part of our lives. I guess that happens when you genuinely love something. So I decided to look back at some of the special moments we have shared together as Nintendo fans.  Continue reading “The special moments we have shared”
