When it comes to my water, I can't help myself. I absolutely have to doctor it up some how. It's a bit of a creative outlet and a fun challenge to figure out new ways to enhance my water. Ultimately, it ensures that I meet...
Do you ever have those days when your body is just craving greens? The last few days, Robb and I have had an unusually strong pull to get our greens (over and above our almost daily green smoothie). Maybe it's because it's spring, and our...
Sweet potatoes are perhaps the perfect food. It's rare to find a vegetable that virtually ALL the various food affiliations endorse: Paleo, Vegan, Raw, even "carb" eschewing Atkins! Personally, I love them because they are just so darn tasty. I will often roast up 5...
A friend of mine was raving about how delicious wraps made from plantain are, so I just had to give them a try. The recipe she used was a little more complicated than I was prepared for, so, thanks to Dr. Google, I was able...
This was a tough week for many, as when we "sprang forward" with Daylight Savings Time, I believe our bodies simultaneously transitioned to spring mode...

One of my favourite things about autumn is the return of fresh, crisp apples! A popular treat at our house is apple crisp. We love how fragrant apple crisp makes the house smell - warm and welcoming. I wanted to experiment with baking apples, but wasn't interested...
Recently, I snuck treats in to the movie theatre. I know, total badass. I was meeting friends at the Wednesday night screening of the Mariposa Arts Theatre night and had a ridiculous craving for something sweet. Since my Skittles days are a thing of the...
The inspiration for this recipe is courtesy of Rodale's Organic Life. Because I can never leave well enough alone, I made some alterations and additions to the recipe, and I hope you like the results. It's a lovely mix of textures and tastes and is immensely...
I have Heather to thank for this week's recipe. At last Friday's "Fun Friday Flow" (where were you, by the way?), I overheard her talking about these delicious corn tortillas that she gets from our local Country Produce. I might mention that this happened right...
