You don't want to eat this. I grew up with Comet, that nasty, abrasive cleanser which was used to clean kitchens and bathrooms. It's funny how we associate clean with certain smells. I spoke with the director of operations of a large recreational facility, and he told me...
One of my favourite things to enjoy this time of year is homemade soup. There is something so deeply satisfying, nurturing and warming about soup. Another thing I love is to come home to a fragrant aroma and knowing that the bulk of dinner prep...
There are not many days when chia and hemp seeds are not a part of my diet. Whether it's in a smoothie, energy bar, in my water, in a casserole, on veggies….these guys are part of my routine! While I won't be abandoning my chia and...
I absolutely loved peanut butter and lettuce sandwiches growing up. I loved the crunch of crisp lettuce and nutty, creamy peanut butter. While I haven't shunned grain products, I think it's wise to not always reach for bread, crackers and wraps when looking for a snack or...

As some of you may know, I love the idea of fermented food, but am a little troubled about the whole DIY movement when it comes to fermented food. Where is the line, if there is one, between something being fermented vs simply being rotten?...
This time of year in particular, has me reaching for this warming, deeply nourishing tea. I love this blend of spices, citrus, and, of course, raw honey.
