I have nice skin.
No, no, no. Now don’t go saying how lucky I am. I am pretty sure it all comes down to a clean and balanced diet, lots of water, good fats, no dairy or sugar, lungsful of fresh air, a lack of toxic product pile-up and no glunky chunky make-up. Yep- I have [...]
As I was preparing to write this post about everyone’s favourite dessert, I decided to do a little search on the ingredients of conventional marshmallows.
In to google went “marshmallow ingredients”. Out of google came “hooves”. (I seriously couldn’t make this stuff up!) I don’t know if there are hooves in the gelatin that are used in marshmallows but what I can say is that marshmallows most often contain a variety of artificial colour, artificial flavour, corn syrup, dextrose, gelatin, modified corn starch, natural flavour, sugar, tetrasodium pyrophosphate and water.

I am sad to say that I had to miss the ribbon cutting ceremony that took place last Thursday at the entrance of the giant inflatable colon that was erected in The Dufferin Mall. Nothing quite like seeing a couple of peeps in business attire standing at the rectal portion of a giant colon, sweetly [...]

There’s nothing I love more than a great superfood. I love when food is not only beautiful and delicious but also health building. So when a food, such as bee pollen, is labelled ‘the most complete food on earth’, how could I not love it?
I don’t. I can’t stand this stuff and I feel a [...]

You may have noticed a theme this week. Between the French Toast Having Wings, King Chaga: Ruler Of The Land, and the old Create Your Own Burger Adventure we enjoyed yesterday. Yep. I have had super foods on the brain as I gear up for the first run of my bran shiny new workshop formerly known as Raw Super Food Power. All week I have been working away at the recipes and info for the two-hour session and have been so inspired by the amazingly delicious ways we can enjoy food as medicine. I don’t know about you but I would so much rather eat a cacao nib filled cookie than pop a magnesium supplement. Food as medicine is one thing, but cookies as medicine… Oh wow!

I am pretty sure there is nothing easier than pulling dinner out of the freezer, popping it in the oven, and having freshness come out. For this reason, I am all over the easy peezy patty shaped food. I love the vegetable veggie burgers, the falafel and even this Indian spiced patty-liciousness.
Often veggie burgers are [...]

Chaga mushroom. King of all the mushrooms. Maybe even king of all the land.
I first learned of these mushrooms last summer when I was kicking it Raw In The Woods with David Wolfe. I have since eaten loads, been intrigued, read heaps and finally made the time to escape up into the woods with my snow shoes, a knife and a trusty (and well informed) side-kick to hunt for some of these here bad boys.
This video from Daniel Vitalis revealed what we needed to know.

This picture has absolutely nothing to do with anything in this post accept that it is my excuse for not having a post up bright and early this morning as per usual. I spent the weekend up in the the Northern Ontario woods snowshoeing my way into the heart of a very special medicinal mushroom. More on that to come. In the meantime, I am long overdue for making some extra super powered special announcements on upcoming events, retreats, an affiliate program and even some contest winners.
Contest Winner: 5 Days Vegan
5 Days Vegan was a smash success! We had oodles of participants tweeting and blogging and that makes me happy. If you will recall, I added a little incentive to the challenge, where if you posted yourself as a participant, you had the chance to win a “Feel Good? Feel Great!” tank and officially join the pink team.

They don’t call them superfoods for nothing. They really are amazing. The coconuts and the aloe, the goji and the spirulina. Now I’ll be the first to admit that I am not ready to give up my stove, exclusively in favour of consuming every super-powered meals out of my VitaMix. Not there yet, and may [...]

I promise that this will be my last tropical post for a wee little while. I am all over making my own hemp milk, almond milk, even sesame and flax milk. I have ventured into the land of oat milk and rice milk. All great. I haven’t the foggiest of foggies why it took me this long to realize how easy it was to get my coconut milk from a coconut, rather than a can.
Yes, I can hear you! I live in Toronto, not the tropics, but still…
