Maddy’s Meringue with Berries
Summer is a time for celebration, but it also happens to be my heaviest competition season. Balancing these two truths can be challenging, so when I’ve got some free time with friends and family, it’s important to make the most of it. Through my busy season, it’s crucial to let some steam out of the pot. Do something that has nothing to do with training – have a drink with friends, shoot the breeze with your family – eat dessert!
5 Reasons to Pack Eggs on your Camping Trip
We’re looking forward to spending time camping in Canada’s great outdoors. Here are 5 reasons why you should take eggs on your camping trip this summer.
Summer Snacking Packed with Protein
My dietitian told me that it's important to enjoy protein after activity in order to make up for any muscle breakdown. So, I prepare snacks that contain eggs, Greek yogurt, cheese, peanut butter or other protein-rich foods that my family enjoys. We either pair the protein snack with a glass of water or we include fluid right in the snack - such as when we make nutritious homemade ice pops or smoothies.
Walking Daily is Good for Your Health
Physical activity guidelines for Canadian adults suggest that we should get at least two and a half hours (150 minutes) of moderate to vigorous aerobic activity each week. But it doesn’t need to be all at once – the exercise can be split up into sessions of 10 minutes or more throughout the week. Examples of aerobic activity include brisk walking, bike riding, skating or playing sports such as hockey, pickleball and basketball.

Maddy’s Egg Salad Sandwich
I love an egg salad sandwich, always have! It is an easy option to take on the go for a filling lunch. You can make it in a big batch and eat it throughout the week, and beyond all of that, it’s just tasty. I love bringing an egg salad sandwich to practice when I have a run followed by a weight workout! It fills me up without making me too full to complete my second session.
Maddy’s Egg-cellent Fried Rice
This month we’re making fried rice, a staple in my diet! This is something I eat for lunch before an afternoon workout. It’s a great option because it’s got a perfect mix of carbs, protein and veggies to keep me full through a workout – and it’s also just tasty! This time around I used broccoli and green onions, but you can really use any veggies you’ve got on hand: peppers, mushrooms, carrots, cabbage - they all work! Really the things you need are garlic, ginger, soya sauce, rice and eggs.
Exciting Nutritional News on Egg Protein
Eggs are an excellent source of high-quality protein. In fact, when ranked scientifically among other protein sources, eggs come out on top. Now, a new study published in June 2022 did a deep dive into the specific benefits of egg protein. Turns out, this high-quality protein source plays a role in protecting against sarcopenia, building muscle, and helping with weight maintenance.
Maddy’s Ramen Inspired Noodle Soup
Soup is a staple in my diet – and this noodle soup is hearty, nutritious and warming. I love coming home after a damp and chilly outdoor practice to a big bowl of soup.
Maddy’s Valentine Carbonara
It’s the season of love. And what better way to show love, than through food? Carbonara is my favourite pasta because it’s a recipe that makes just a few ingredients really sing.
Maddy’s Leek & Gruyere Omelette Recipe
Happy new year! Athletes, just like most people, are looking to nourish their bodies with good food come January. After a season of treats, some protein and vegetables are my biggest craving.
