Pumpkin recipes abound this time of year. I’ve put up a few myself. So many of them call for pumpkin puree and most of us then hop over to the store and buy a can of pumpkin. But see, pumpkin doesn’t grow in cans. It grows from the ground and grows a-plenty locally and it really isn’t that much trouble to do the right thing by your pumpkin and make your own pumpkin puree from scratch.

How would you like to be described? As sharp or dull?
Well, how do you think your knives feel?

It is medicine season! Seriously. Now I don’t mean that it is time to line up at the doctor’s office for vaccines or prescriptions or any of that nonsense stuff. Dear me no. I am talking about all the goodies popping up from the earth, wild for the most part, that just might serve to heal our woes.

From “Testicles” to pickles. It’s how we roll around here. Now, who doesn’t love a good dill pickle: delicious, crunchy, a little pungent, slightly sour, a touch salty, and a tinge of garlic. And these phallic shaped warty green numbers are healthy too! Remember when I wrote all about probiotics? Well these naturally, lactic acid [...]

Probiotics are the good guys; the good bacteria we need in our gut that help to keep us healthy. They support healthy digestion and healthy immunity. They live in the intestines and all too often are outta wack. Use of antibiotics, and diets high in processed sugary foods and low fibre are the ultimate hot [...]

Well in to Summer now! At long last it seems that summer heat has landed on Toronto’s doorstep and I am now focusing my energy on evening out the awfully awkward tan that accompanies getting around by bicycle in the summer months. As it heats up outside, it cools down in my kitchen. With my [...]

Do you know what would happen if you took some of the most powerful, nutrient dense, amazing foods available to us on this planet and rolled them all together? You get superhero-worthy balls. This recipe was created based on an email I received from a participant in the 3-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse, wanting to know [...]

What a beautiful hot summer’s day. Nothing quenches your thirst on a day like today quite like an ice-cold can of coke. What? As if. The mere thought of chugging back a can of coke makes my teeth hurt and I can already sense that horrible furry teeth feeling that would surely follow that dosage [...]

Keeping this super quick and super sweet- just like the recipe. I get really excited when I see new seasonal produce in the market and whether I have a plan for it or not, I buy it. That is how I ended up with four giant stalks of rhubarb in my fridge. I had originally [...]

I received my very first piece of hate mail last fall. I didn’t take it particularly personally as it wasn’t really a personal attack on me but more an attack on my profession as a whole. My friend Adam congratulated me, saying that when you can evoke a reaction in someone- good or bad- than [...]
When I visit new places, I tend to form opinions on them in two ways- either if I could live there or if it makes a great holiday spot. Kinvara (which I kept calling Kinarva), a small town on the West Coast of Ireland falls into the first category. I could live here. This town [...]

Yes. In case you were wondering, I did use the word ‘woodier’ in my video. So I a make up words on the fly. Who doesn’t? Denise Huxtable isn’t the only one who loves kale. I do too! And I have quite a bit left over post cleanse, so I have done what I love [...]

Well my sweet Green Smoothie Cleansers. This is it. The time has come. Put down those forks. Put away those plates. For the next three days all we need is our blender and a glass (and maybe a knife and cutting board if we didn’t get ourselves sorted ahead of time). As you saw in [...]
