We all have one. Mine is sugar. What might yours be? I like to pretend like I have my sugar habit under control, but when I take on a challenge, such as this 3-Day Green Smoothie cleanse, where any sweetness of the fruit I am eating is disguised by the greenness of my greens, the [...]

What do Luna Bars and elephants in captivity have in common? Keep reading. Last weekend at the Yoga Show, as a participant in the Seane Corn Detox Flow Workshop, I received a gift bag and inside were two food items: a box of Triscuits (which I left with the gift bag girls) and the item [...]

It makes perfect sense that seeds are incredibley healthy. They are the little itty powerhouse that will grow into a whole new plant, or even tree. Seeds represent life and therefore support our healthful life. There are all types of seeds- some that I use for sprouting and others that I eat just as they [...]

Many of you were very very close on this one. What amazed me is how many of you guessed an Yves brand product. I assumed (wrongly) that most people who ate Vyes products, didn’t know how synthetic and chemical they were. I, personally, do not trust the labelling on Yves products after I ate their [...]

Now on with the Cranberry Lesson Cranberries are beautiful, but boy do they pack a mean sour punch. We usually have our cranberries in the form of sauce where [...]

Just because its cold outside, doesn’t mean your body isn’t still crying out for hydration. I am sure, like me, you have noticed your skin a little dryer, your clothes a little more staticky and perhaps you have had to plug in your humidifier. Canadian Winter is chilly and dry (despite the Torontonians who comment [...]

I have a friend staying with me at the moment. House guests are challenging for me for many reason. The main ones are that I live in a loft with no walls and I work from home. The other challenge, though more for my guests than for myself, is obviously going to be my eating [...]

I do my best to be an equal opportunity vegetable lover, but the thing is- all vegetables are not created equally. I will spare you my thoughts on organic vs. conventional, mineral depleted soils, and a little problem called genetic modification for another day and instead just talk about the potato. Potatoes are a staple [...]

A simple enough question I suppose. Though strangely, if people knew the answer, I would be out of a job. There has been much discussion of late around corn- the high fructose corn syrup ad campaign, the farm bill and how the US government pays off farmers to grow inedible corn, the use of corn [...]

I have just returned from a super duper fabulous weekend in Chicago, where I celebrated my 29th birthday with Jay,one of my oldest friends. Both Jay and I are incredibly health conscious and mindful of what we eat. I had been warned that finding Meghan friendly restaurants in Chitown would be a challenge, given that [...]

Oh black licorice. Black licorice is one of those candies like rosewater flavoured Thrills gum; a flavour we either love or we hate. There is no middle ground. Black licorice has an odd nostalgic connection for my family. My dad’s grandfather owned a general store in Council Bluffs, Iowa where he stocked all sorts of [...]

Often we eat things, despite our better judgment, because they are easy, available and taste good. These reasons are acceptable to a point, but sometimes, depending on what those choices are, we really are better off eating nothing. My dad was recently in New York and sent along this photo of a pair of vending [...]
