To be honest, after our experience at Menchie's, I was hesitant to take Mr. to another frozen yogurt bar.

2014 Healthy Chef Competition Recap

For the past 4 years, I have been blessed with the opportunity to attend the BC Healthy Chef Competition. Co-sponsored by the BC Chefs' Association and the BC Produce Marketing Association, the purpose of this event is to promote healthy eating while raising money for the Mix it Up! campaign, Canadian Cancer Society and the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
