<p>Angela has been sharing stories about her life, along with her favourite recipes on her award-winning blog, <a href="http://ohsheglows.com" target="_blank">Oh She Glows</a>, since 2008. After the success of her first cookbook and recipe app, Angela is preparing to launch her second cookbook, <em>Oh She Glows Every Day</em>, this fall. “I absolutely love what I do each day, and I have a lot of fun ideas for the future, too.” Her favourite part about blogging is the amazing people it has connected her with. “I’ve met the kindest people all over the world and some very dear friends through my blog.”</p> -

Ristorante Julia
<p>“Try the superfood salad with quinoa, black bean salsa, apricots, fennel, pumpkin seeds, spinach, arugula, kale, and turmeric avocado dressing. <a href="http://juliasristorante.com" target="_blank">Julia’s</a> has a nice patio in the summer so we’ll often sit outside to catch some rays.”</p> -

Green Press
<p>“<a href="https://greenpress.ca" target="_blank">Green Press</a> is a great organic, cold-pressed juicery in Oakville. If you love a super green juice that’s not very sweet and is packed with nutrition, try their Mean Greens juice. I also love the Royal Flush made with spinach, beets, carrot, apple, celery, parsley, lemon, and ginger. It’s a great liver cleanser. Since I’m currently pregnant and craving grapefruit like crazy, I also never walk out without a grapefruit-mint juice.”</p> -

Paradiso Restaurant
<p>“<a href="http://www.paradisorestaurant.com" target="_blank">Paradiso</a> is a lovely spot on Lakeshore that we’ve been going to for years. I usually opt for their Portobello mushroom steak with roasted potatoes (in lieu of the dairy-containing mashed potatoes), sautéed seasonal veggies, and balsamic glaze.”</p>
