This is Nourish Your Soul Week. We are well in to summer and it is time to start enjoying it. This week is dedicated to just that, enjoyment of life. A few weeks ago I mentioned that I had been given the opportunity to interview the inspiring Bryon Katie. Katie has addressed many health and [...]

I imagine soon there will be much on picnics and kitchen-free meals. Monday: Miso Hungry (Recipe) Didn’t you always wonder what miso soup was [...]

As soon as I sampled the treat that was the Strawberry Rhubarb Cake last week, I immediately began thinking of all the other ways I could use the moist and cakey base. With local tomatoes and basil in abundance, I thought, Hey, why not take this cake to Italy and call it bread, or Tomasil [...]
A couple of weeks ago, Josh and I were at Camros Organic Eatery, one of my new faves in the city. The way the restaurant works is that you can pick a plate and add to that plate a choice of two, three or four salads. We each went for the foursome and are pretty [...]

There are very few governing boards in the natural health industry. Anyone can call themselves a natural health practitioner, wellness consultant, nutrition coach and the list goes on. I suppose this is what lead two of my clients’ physicians to refer to holistic nutrition as ‘Hocus Pocus’ and “A load of huey”. I have been [...]

As I continue my transition to a completely whole foods based healing diet, there are still random ingredients in the health food store that I am new to discovering. One of the foods that most recently became a regular in my life, spent a long time on the “I want to try this but what [...]

Well in to Summer now! At long last it seems that summer heat has landed on Toronto’s doorstep and I am now focusing my energy on evening out the awfully awkward tan that accompanies getting around by bicycle in the summer months. As it heats up outside, it cools down in my kitchen. With my [...]

It is only July and I am crumbled out. Crumble is The Dessert recipe of the summer if you ask me. Every single summer fruit makes a great crumble; from blueberries to peaches, pears to plums, it all works under a layer of toasted oats and cinnamon. Wait… maybe not watermelon. With fresh from the [...]
Yesterday I got my promo postcards in the mail! This is very exciting. It kind of makes my retreat real. And the cards for my retreat are beee-you-tee-ful if I do say so myself (I did them so it’s a bit of a tooting my own horn sitch). Have a look for yourself! The retreat [...]

Here in Toronto, we are on day 17 of a garbage strike. I know what you are thinking and you are right. Peeeeee-eeeeew. Thankfully our summer has been remarkably chilly so it is not as bad as it could have been. Now, not picking up garbage, really doesn’t bother me so much. I fill one [...]
(Don’t forget to come by my film screening tonight!) One of the questions my clients have the toughest time answering when I do their intake, is what their hobbies and interests are. Last week a client responded with “Who has hobbies anymore?” Great health is not just about the food we eat. We all need [...]

Fruit photo courtesy of: http://everydaytrash.com Last Monday I was at my local farmer’s market to pick up some fresh greens. The arugula had been attacked by some bugs and was full of holes. They were offering it at a 50 cent discount and I didn’t think twice about it. Had I bought that holey arugula [...]

What a sweet, summer holiday week. Well- I think it was summer. I was up North in Haliburton and it was far from summer weather, but the heat is coming. I swear it will show up any minute now. Lot’s of good cooking anyhow. Have a great weekend! Monday: My Chocolate Sol Nothing sweeter than a [...]
