When I start to feel a little fatigued, sluggish, and for lack of a better word, "dirty", I find myself wanting to juice. Mostly because of time, I find myself "blending" vs "juicing" most days. Without launching into the whole blending vs. juicing debate (because...
From the looks of things outside, it's going to be a while before we have lush, home grown basil ready for making into pesto. Having a craving for something pesto-like, I thought I would experiment with healthy greens that are relatively easy to access this...
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...
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...
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...
My boys in particular are (mostly) generous when I recruit them for taste testing. Several members of Dan's basketball team got roped into tasting this one. I'm not sure if they were overly polite as they were counting on a drive back to the gym, really hungry or...
Did you know that magnesium deficiency is one of the most common mineral deficiencies to have? Did you know that magnesium plays a very important role in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth? It's also important for proper muscle function, and can help...
This is another "what's in the pantry?" creation. At a loss as to what to make for dinner, I somewhat wearily opened the fridge to find one small bunch of broccoli and a nice bunch of kale threatening to spoil if not used soon. I...
