I had a jolly ‘ole lover of a time travelling the isel of St. Lucia and can’t wait to show off some of my pics to you tomorrow. But the one thing I missed most was my kitchen. I missed having access to my clean, organized, pink kitchen and all the familiar tastes that go along with it. I was chomping at the bit, as they say, to get back into it and get cooking.

Oh my goodness was this the best “Leftovers For Lunch” lunch that I’ve ever had! Remember that barley salad I shared last week?
Well this is what I did with the leftovers. Given that I write a food blog and am forever trying to think of new, inventive and easy ways to re-purpose recipes and leftover- mainly because it cuts down on my workload, I tend to only eat things once, then have to find a new and exciting way to enjoy them.

Now aren’t these just gorgeous!?!?! Like really glowingly beautiful in all their vibrant redness. I was so excited about this baking adventure for many reasons. I was going to use fresh grated beets in the batter, I was going to use millet in a muffin for the first time. I had some fresh cranberries in there and I was so psyched that I was going to have the most amazingly unique valentine’s day recipe ever.

Everyone loves home baked cookies. And they really don’t take much time at all.
You mix the dry.
Chop a little chocolate. This was Green and Blacks dark chocolate with crystallized ginger in it.
Throw a couple blobs of cookie dough on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
And just like that, fresh home baked cookies are served.

Oh. My. Greatness.
I made sweet potato gnocchi from scratch I did. I did, I did! I have been thinking about these little nuggets of greatness ever since my super fantab friend and web mistress Marie told me about hers. I waited for her to send me the recipe and I must say- thank goodness she builds websites for a living as opposed to sending me recipes. She never sent it. So, as all great things, this recipe came from a sweet little cocktail of desperation, creativity and a craving.

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.

Can we agree that it is a known fact that every time we go to the store, we tend to buy the same things each time- our staple goods?

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. Not because it gets all stuck in that annoying wire I have cemented to the back of my top and bottom teeth, but because it is like my fear food.

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 [...]
This has been a long time coming. I am so pleased to introduce to you the author of Sleeping Naked Is Green, National Post journalist, blogstress behind Green As A Thistle and my partner in eco-nutrition warrioring, the one and only Vanessa Farquharson. The reason it took so long for us to get it together [...]

After two days of nutrition conferencing, I was all tired out. I decided that instead of driving the three hours up to my cottage for some peace and quiet, I would leave my computer and car at home and ride my bike uptown to my parents’ house for a little two day stay-cation. I moved [...]

I once dated a guy who was a vegetarian and regularly ate the veggie burgers from Harvey’s (a fast food chain). He claimed to be veg for enviro reasons but as far I’m concerned, buying veggie burgers, most likely made of genetically modified soy waste and fried up in genetically modified corn or soy based [...]
