Contrary to popular belief, I am not a strict vegan. As my friend Elana, who was once macrobiotic and is now indulging in raw cheeses and fish says, “labels are for tin cans”. I agree. But I have my limits when it comes to eating foods that once had eyes.
What fun we had last weekend, when we went away up north to my cottage to harvest some of Spring’s best goodies. Of course, a first harvest of the season is not complete without wild leeks, also known as ‘ramps’. This was our first foray into the land of wild leeks and was it ever exciting for two nerdy nutritionists!
There is great power in the first fresh local foods of the season. These mighty little things are the first to spring forth from the earth after the deep freeze of Winter. And wouldn’t you know it, they also provide so much of what our body needs to cleanse from the Winter build-up. One nutrient of note, is quercitin. You have heard of this before.

I have been totally obsessed with kale chips. It started up again after that event I went to a few weeks back and sampled some of the best Kale chips of my life. I have since been trying all kinds of different, delicious toppings and every single one has been a delicious hit. I have realized that you can pretty much put any thing on these awesome, dry them out and voila- you have the perfect crunchy delicious and oh so healthy substitute for chips.
So consider this Way Two of Kale Chips 5 Ways. You can find Way One here and the rest will be following over the coming weeks. To tantalize your taste buds- we’ve got an Asian Macrobiotic Sesame chip, A Sour Cream and Onion (with neither sour cream, nor onion) and a Spicey Nacho Cheese (again- no nachos or cheese). And wow are they all fantastic and if you are free this Sunday, you can sample one of the many awesome varieties I have been coming up.

Whenever I cover something in chocolate, I immediately associate it with love. Chocolate will do that. The chemicals in chocolate as we know, make us feel just as we do when we are falling in love. And oh, how being in love is so very satisfying just like chocolate. Chocolate is so delicious in fact, as I once shared before, that more women would rather have chocolate than have sex.

Nothing says apple quite like autumn. Wait! Did I get that backwards. Nope. No I sure didn’t. It’s true. In Canada, autumn and apples go hand-in-hand. Hand-in hand like ginger and hazelnuts, like sesame seeds and pomegranates, like flaxseed and blueberries, like cranberries and almonds, like pumpkin seeds and raisins and like apples and oats. [...]
