What are you doing the evening of July 7th? What? No plans yet? You do now! If you live in the Toronto area, you should come to the film screening I am hosting in partnership with the very cute and wonderfully talented guys of The Movement. This is an important movie. If you are reading [...]
Chocolate and sunshine are for sure two of my favourite things and they first came together for me last year when I had the opportunity to visit Fond Doux Estate in St. Lucia (and we’ll be going back if you join me on my winter retreat!) Before this visit, I don’t think it actually ever [...]

Between the garbage strike, the heat wave and the crazy midday thunderstorm, it has been quite the week. Summer is here and if only the garbage juice would stop running down the sidewalks, all would be sweet. Monday: Switzerland Rocks My Breakfast (Recipe) Summer is here and so I have retired my hot mush breakfast in [...]

When is a date not a date? When it’s a fig. Get it? It seems to take everyone a moment for that one. Last Friday night I was out on a fig with Josh (not a date)- dinner and a movie. I brought him a baby coconut I had picked up in Chinatown on my [...]

I often invite people to snoop into my cupboard. During my cooking classes, people like to peek in but my friends do too. The most common question is, “Where are your chips and crackers, your snack food?” And the short answer is always the same, “I haven’t made them yet”. We know that I have [...]

Before you go on, I suggest that you read this first: Milking It For All It’s Worth I am not sure there is any issue more hotly debated in the health world than the one being battled on farms and in courts over raw milk. There is absolutely no way I can get into this issue [...]

In the winter time, there is nothing more warming and filling to start your day off than hot off the stove cooked oatmeal. Come summer, however, the thought of eating that warm mush just isn’t rocking my world so much. I often go for super powered smoothies, the water and meat of one young coconut [...]

Up here in Canada, we wait all winter for summer and then summer just zips on by and we wonder where it went. We are too busy running hither and tither to take the time to smell the roses (or little purple weedy flowers) and pick the goodness from the earth while abundant and ripe. [...]

Do you know what would happen if you took some of the most powerful, nutrient dense, amazing foods available to us on this planet and rolled them all together? You get superhero-worthy balls. This recipe was created based on an email I received from a participant in the 3-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse, wanting to know [...]

This post could have been called Muffins for Melanie and Massages for Meghan, but in keeping with my theme that was started by Cookies for Catherine, I kept it short. Melanie Leeder rocks my world. Actually… no. What she really does is calms it way down. I am forever showing off the awesomely cool ladies [...]

Nori and sprouts are two of my most fave things. They are both super powered foods and do wonderous things for our health. Throw in some other raw veggies and perhaps a sprouted sunflower pate and these fine goodies make love together all rolled up and tangled together. Nori is the type of seaweed used [...]

You know I love writing, cooking and sharing both with you. That makes this blog one of my most favourite parts of the work that I do. But between the seven posts a week, plus a video, I am in need of a rest. So I have decided, at least for the short and sweet [...]

Since I couldn’t locate the photos I have of Vanessa sleeping naked, I had to use the adorable one of her sitting in her empty fridge. Last Saturday, as part of Green Week, I reviewed the wonderfully hilarious memoir Sleeping Naked Is Green, by world renowned (she really is)green author and naked sleeper Vanessa Farquharson. [...]
