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.

Herbal Smoothie Power

Josh and I have a super nerdy nutritionist game that we play. It goes like this:
Josh: “Hey Megs, Would you like a cup of tea”.
Meghan: “ I sure would!”
J: “What kind?”
M: “You’ll do the right thing”.

True Blender Love

I love my Vitamix. In fact, I don’t know anyone who owns one who doesn’t love it. Not a day goes by that I don’t hear the sweet whirring of the greatest room-mate I may ever have. Now, because I love my Vitamix so much, and because I love it so much I got my mother to get one and at long last got my man to pick one up too, I wanted you to have one also.

For someone who lives on fast food and beer, a Green Smoothie Cleanse would probably be torturous… for the first time. It might still be rough the second and third time too.

We Be Raspberry Jamming

I have always associated jam with old men. Wait. I know this sounds gross, but for my entire childhood, the only person I knew who ate jam was my grandpa Gene. And it wasn’t even jam. It was marmalade. Orange marmalade on toast was my grandpa’s favourite.

Summer Roasting

The summer roasted vegetables- watch out lightness and colour! This Tuscan style roast veggie side dish is made with red and yellow bell peppers, summer squash, fresh herbs, onions and garlic. It is great served at room temperature so perhaps a great dish to bring to those warm weather BBQs, picnics or to make and take up to your cottage as an easy, ready made side dish. No matter what else goes on the plate, this dish will make it look pretty as can be. And did I mention delicious?
