When we were planning our move, we had a bunch of moving companies visit the house to take a look at everything in it and provide us with a quote. During the process, each representative suggested that we throw out the items in our pantry to save on weight and reassess how many dishes and…
I’d never been to a full-on vegan restaurant until we visited Montreal earlier this month. There’s such a healthy, take-care-of-your-body, organic pulse to the city, it’s fabulous. Just as I had with Crudessence, I went to Aux Vivres twice. Partly because I was in the mood for another vegan meal, and also because I couldn’t…
It’s a hard knock life for raw foodists here in cow town. Not only does the climate not support a raw diet; being that it’s Winter practically all the time here, the raw resources in this city are practically nonexistent. Saying it’s a challenge being a raw vegan in Calgary would be an understatement. Heck,…

They were usually a combination of almond milk, frozen berries, bananas, and bee pollen. It was good, but it lacked pizzazz! Now, I try to get creative with smoothies to get me…
I was made for Summer. I was born to eat French fries and vinegar on the beach, chat with friends on the patio until 2am, and drown myself in barbecue sauce. Sure, I like stew, but I’d rather have a fresh salad instead. I enjoy a hot cup of cocoa, but would happily trade it…

psst… I just posted the winner for the goat dairy giveaway. Check to see if you won! It was recommended by a friendly Facebook follower that I make my way into the city to check out Madly Organic – a new gluten-free friendly cafe in Calgary. Upon doing a bit of investigating I was pleasantly…
Nestled in the beautiful city of Canmore, with a healthy dose of gluten-free menu items, Communitea Cafe has been on our list of places to visit for a long time now. The cafe is in a great location, just around the corner from the main road that runs through downtown Canmore, and a couple of…
Don’t let the construction tape on the sign fool you, this place is an absolute gem. From the delightfully proud and loving owners, to the classic presentation of South Indian cuisine, Canadian Dosa Corner has easily become my new favorite place to grab a nourishing lunch during the workweek. When I was asked to choose…

The white stuff made highway visibility really poor and slow-going, but it was well worth it knowing that there was a delicious meal at…
