Happy Wednesday my healthy-food-lovers and healthy-food-lover-wannabes. What a perfect day to bake some bread.
Really? Is it though? Why does today become the perfect day to bake bread when the perfect day has yet to come along in the last 31 or so years? Well, I actually made this amazing fresh baked loaf of bread over the holidays when I had time to play in my kitchen and read other people’s blogs, something I LOVE to do, when time permits me the luxury.

A couple of weeks ago, I escaped the city with a gaggle of girls (and the men that stick close to us) to an orchard that was ripe with raspberries, apples, squashes and fresh corn on the cob. I came home with loads of freshly harvested squashes (recipes to follow soon) and indulged in a little fresh off the land, corn on the cob. Corn is a tricky thing for me to eat.

There are two ways that I come up with recipes.
1. I am bored and want to play and since my home is really a giant kitchen, that is where a lot of playing happens.
2. I bought something thinking I would do something with it, it moves towards the land of rotten and I get desperate and start searching for something to do with it.

I don’t eat a whole lot of grains, at least not when I am cooking a meal just for me. I am usually pretty happy with some bean/lentil type soup and some salad and veggies. After one of my cooking classes, the Asian Inspired class as part of the 4-week and 6-Week Cooking Program, I [...]

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 [...]

Last Sunday I began the day with a super powered green smoothie. Because we all need a little balance in our lives, I decided this Sunday I would kick off the new week with my favolicious gluten-free banana teff pancakes. Banana pancakes are an all time favourite from when I was young and my family [...]

If you haven’t heard, pistachio nuts have been recalled due to salmonella contamination- just like what happened with spinach and almonds a few years ago. And how could we forget the Maple Leaf Farms listeria disaster of this past fall. Now, you’ll have to excuse the seriousness of this post when I ask why some [...]
