Hello everyone and welcome!

My name is Hellen and I decided to start this blog as a way to share happy moments, talk about delicious food, and to document my travels and experiences. “Viva” means “live” or “to be alive”, and it’s also an exclamation of “cheers!”, and I believe everyone deserves more of that.

My hubby and I do not eat red meat and haven’t for many years. When I started the blog, we still ate poultry, but now we are pescatarians (or pescetarians), which are individuals who eat mostly vegetarian meals, but sometimes consume fish/seafood. I also identify a lot with Clean Eating principles and, since I have been diagnosed pre-diabetic and insulin resistant, am trying to transition into a more Low-carb/Keto lifestyle. Most of my recipes will reflect these principles.

I currently live in Toronto, Canada, and many posts will be about this wonderful city and other areas/cities nearby. Please also follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.

I hope to make you smile with every post and thanks for going on this journey with me! VivaHappy!
