I love experimenting in the kitchen, coming up with easy (MUST be easy) and nutritious recipes that hopefully taste good (my team of critics can be harsh)! I'm often searching for healthy snacks to add to lunches for myself and family. Most "prepared" snacks are just...
These are fun and sure to be a hit for the young, and young at heart! In our spirit of having more "play", what could be more fun than delicious gummy treats? Even better, these contain pure protein which is readily assimilated, and they don't have nasty...
It gives me great comfort to have meals planned in advance so that I'm not frantically trying to get a meal together and mostly, so that I'm not relying on processed (ugh) foods. Even better, when preparation for one meal makes for easy preparation of a second...
The original recipe comes from Clean Eating magazine. I couldn't help myself though; it didn't have onions and that just isn't right in our house! How can you have a vegetable soup without onions? Of course, my meddling didn't stop there; I had to switch up a...
This week's creation makes use of avocado to lend a lovely creamy quality to the soup, while adding much-needed healthy fats. With the added benefit of broccoli and its indole-3-carbinol, plant-based omega 3 fatty acids from hemp hearts, the anti-fungal and anti-viral properties of coconut oil...
For a significant portion of the year, I can be found in gymnasiums across North America cheering on my boys as they play basketball and other sports. I simply love this. The only down-side is keeping well nourished on the road. Scheduling can make it...
This was the challenge: I had a hankering for something sweet (I know, no surprise), and I was determined to make something using ONLY products I had on hand. The pressure was on as it was at the end of a long weekend and most of...
Okay, in general I'm not a huge fan of canned goods, but they sure can be handy when short on time. I like to make sure though that when I do purchase canned products the cans have a BPA-free lining. Eden Organics carries a large variety...
I have made this a few times over the last few weeks and really enjoy the comforting blend of flavours. Cauliflower really is in the league of "superfoods" such as kale, and is extremely versatile. I grew up thinking that cauliflower was limited to being boiled,...
We enjoyed this recipe recently and hope you do, too. Asparagus and beets are nutrient-dense and full of flavour. The addition of hemp seeds and cashews increases healthy fats and protein. Asparagus gets a 5-star rating for: fibre folate vitamins A, C, E, K chromium glutathione...
In addition to satisfying my sweet tooth (sigh), I was highly motivated to make use of walnuts. There's this idea that things in nature that resemble parts of the human body are extremely nourishing to said body part. Walnuts are a perfect example. What does a...
Who doesn't like pink lemonade? No need to settle for yucky chemical-heavy commercial products, when you can get a quick and nutrient-dense version yourself. Beet powder is a fantastic staple to have on hand. It can greatly boost the nutrient quality while at the same time...
