Here she be. My super healing summer soup made with 95% local ingredients! I don’t care how hot it is, second only to a smoothie, there is nothing easier to make than a big pot of soup. I ate this for every meal for a good day and a half.

Sleep is perhaps one the most important things for our health. There are so many reasons we should get lots, and so few of us do. Of all the things we can do for our health, this really should be at the top of our list and we don’t do it nearly enough. Here are my top five reasons why sleep is my fave health promoting activity:

Over the last few weeks, I have been increasingly frustrated by things I’ve been hearing. The hydrogenated, high fructose corns syrup icing on the refined corn and high fructose corn syrup cake was when I was informed that deep fried Twinkies were served at the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation fundraiser. It is hard for me to stay rosey and smiley and just let that go. I am astounded by the effort and money people will throw at such organizations, doing “research” to find “cures”, when I am the research and the cure is simply- to heal and repair.

Drinking My Sunscreen

I was not at all surprised a few weeks back when I wrote about my preferred sunscreen, that there were many extreme opinions on the matter. Actually, most opinions, I think were drastically against me on this and I am a-okay with that. I don’t mind the aggression really, better than indifference if you ask me.

You know I love smoothies. I love smoothies to bits. They are my fave go-to fast food meals and I always feel fantastic after. This however wasn’t always the case. I was sick for several years with digestive challenges and during this time, smoothies weren’t always my friend.

Recently I biked home with a cabbage hanging from my handle bars (don’t try this at home). I participated in this risky behavior because I knew the reward would be well worth it……a bundle of cruciferous healthful goodness.

So what’s your favourite snotty food? An awful question to be sure but you know I go crazy for Okra and a chunk of aloe in my morning smoothie makes everything run, well, smoothly. It’s the slime factor. Ever blend up chia seeds? How about simmer some flax seed tea or even soak flax seeds overnight to make a raw tortilla? How about slippery elm lozenges for a sore throat? The snotty foods abound!
