A Rant and a Recipe

Like so many blogs with recipes I’m starting out with several minutes of my musings and a hint of there being a recipe waiting for you at the very end. Skip the rant and scroll right to the recipe if you wish but you’ll miss some good material and me saying a bad word. The … Continue reading

Blueberry Bliss Bars

Blueberry Bliss Bars

Blueberry Bliss Bars I love this versatile recipe which I adapted from an original recipe at mynewroots.org. The nut and date base and silky cashew filling is ultra satisfying – like the best cheesecake ever – without all the dairy, wheat and refined sugar. Being nutrient dense and an excellent source of protein and healthy fats … Continue reading

Loco Mojito Smoothie

Loco Mojito Smoothie

Hola! It’s me again. I have another recipe for you. I’ve been neglecting this blogging thing for a while but suddenly have a renewed sense of excitement to create and share. Let’s see where this goes? Perhaps it’s because my recent vacation was ultra soul soothing. I don’t know if it was playing in the waves for … Continue reading

Omega Colada Smoothie

Omega Colada Smoothie

Do you like piña coladas? This time of year there’s nothing like a vacation to help you hit the reset button. Time away to decompress has got to be my favourite form of self care! Months of stress washed away with a few dips in the ocean, and maybe a few fruity cocktails.. If you can’t … Continue reading

Not just because there is so much fun to be had, but because you’re probably deficient in Vitamin D and that’s a big problem! Almost as big of a problem as being deficient … Continue reading

It’s Thanksgiving. Let’s eat! I love a good Thanksgiving-induced turkey coma followed by a big piece of pumpkin pie. With lots of whipped cream. This year I’m shaking things up with a wholesome version of this celebrated dessert. Here are the ingredients you won’t find in Super Fly Pumpkin Pie: Sugar – Excessive amounts on … Continue reading

Chai this!

Chai this!

Fall is in the air and thank goodness. Summertime is blissful, don’t get me wrong, but it can get overwhelming after a while. Too many plans and not enough sunsets to fit in all that awesomeness! When the temperature drops and the leaves begin to change colour, I breathe a sigh of relief. It’s time … Continue reading

Smart Summer Sip: Raspberry-Mint-Matcha Iced Tea

Smart Summer Sip: Raspberry-Mint-Matcha Iced Tea

I served this beverage at The Naturopathic Kitchen‘s Cancer Prevention cooking class in July and it was a big hit. It’s a great alternative to the sugar-laden alcoholic coolers that temp us on hot summer afternoons. The next time you’re chilling on the patio, swap your Pomtini for this über-nourishing, liver-loving bevy! Ingredients: 1 cup organically grown raspberries 1/4 … Continue reading
