Raspberry Beet Smoothie
08 March, 2017
Oh this was not only pretty, but really tasty! Pigment-rich foods make me happy - not only for their visual impact but because I know they're generously loaded with goodness...
Golden Beet Crisps
08 March, 2017
Impressive nutrient density aside, I absolutely love the versatility of beets. They can be tossed in a smoothie, roasted to perfection, juiced, used to tint homemade lip balm (for real), and made into snacking chips - what other vegetable can boast that? On Saturday, I was...
Arugula Artichoke Cashew Dip
08 March, 2017
We're so fortunate here in Orillia to have access to so much great organic produce. With this week's delivery from The Kitchen Garden Farm, we received some luscious arugula. Now arugula is one of those greens (like cilantro): you either love it or you leave...
Aloe Chia Lime Water
08 March, 2017
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...
Raw Chocolate Walnut Stuffed Dates
08 March, 2017
I recently had what I thought was a brilliant idea - stuff dates with brain-healthy walnuts. Easy, tasty, and nutritious - bam! Then I thought what would really knock them out of the park would be to dip them in chocolate. To keep them healthy,...
Sushi Bowl
08 March, 2017
One of my dearest high school friends is admittedly more of a "food assembler" than "master chef". While she has always placed a premium on healthy meals for her family, the whole cooking thing did not bring much joy or tap into her creativity. You...
Rice Cake Peanut Butter Balls
08 March, 2017
One night last week we both had a hankering for something sweet. Trouble was we had nothing in the house - oh no! No fear, Robb donned his magic apron and got right to work - is there nothing this man can't do? Within minutes, Robb...
Sweet Potato Bliss
08 March, 2017
The inspiration for these incredibly yummy roasted sweet potatoes came from an Instagram feed I follow called project sunny. It was such a great idea to load up roasted sweet potatoes with a variety of tasty and nutritious toppings - brilliant! So, with full credit to project...
Robb’s (a) Slice Kind Bars
08 March, 2017
This Sunday we got to do something we've been wanting to do for a very long time. As we're drawing ever closer to completion of the upper floor of the studio, we were able, today, to invite people up to the "karma kantina" to enjoy...
Broccoli Pesto
08 March, 2017
We're big pesto fans at our house. Traditional pesto recipes, while tasty, can be expensive to prepare due to pine nuts (which I always, always burn) and basil when it is out of season. Enter broccoli and spinach. Both lend themselves well as substitutes and...
High Protein Veggie Salad
08 March, 2017
Those who eat a largely plant-based diet are frequently asked "How do you get your protein?" by well-intentioned enquirers. It's really not as hard as you may think. We've become so accustomed to the misconception that protein can only come from animals. However, many vegetables...
