Making Love in the Kitchen

Holy smokerdoodles bat-ladies and gents! Talk about transitions. Not only did I leap a 50 degree difference between St. Lucia and Toronto when I came back, but I lept worlds!

I remember so clearly coming home from winter holidays as a teenager. My clearest memory was actually in grade 9 gym class. I had come from Jamaica the day before and I recall being in gym class jumping rope on that shiny squeaky floor wishing for all my might that I could be transported back to the beach I had just been ripped away from.

Oh my sweet mommas! It has been a while since I was this excited for an event. Maybe not since my St. Lucia retreat (which sadly will be ending in 2 days). So because I knew I’d be in a funk when the fun in the sun came to an end, I had to bring in some sunshine. That sunshine is coming in the form of the Groove Master trainer herself, Ms. Brooke Yanzte.

I swear that these trade shows are like the best Halloween for nutritionistas and healthy living junkies. There comes a point in this health thing that it goes beyond a lifestyle and also becomes your most beloved hobby.

Raise your hand if you are glowing from that group cleanse? Green Smoothies delight! The best part of a green smoothie cleanse, for me, is that even though I may be eating my meals on my own, I know that oodles of peeps around the world are eating/drinking the same thing as me. There is a delicious sense of community that comes from sharing a meal. That for sure is my fave part of my classes.

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.

What could possibly better than cooking and eating amazing food? Cooking and eating amazing food for a fantastic cause!

Thanks to the initiative of my friend Noa, we have teamed up with Second Harvest Toronto to run a fundraising cooking class where all proceeds from the class go right to this organization.

So what are you doing Monday night? It can’t be this much fun.

If you are unfamiliar with Second Harvest, what this delicious organization does is collect food that would otherwise go to waste from food depot’s around the city and deliver to the peeps who need it the most- the front lines of hunger, if you will. Food donors include grocery stores, food manufacturers and distributors.
