What a Thanksgiving dinner we had last night! The pumpkins were a plenty, the conversation was deep, and the UNO cards were flying! Not only that, but we made great progress on my office. More on that tomorrow. I headed to Superstore late Sunday night to pick up some last minute items – mushrooms, a…
I’ve been craving greens, fish, and fresh fruit like no one’s business this week! I’ve had my fair share of 15 minute salmon cakes, BBQ kale chips, and various fruit salads. Right around this time every year, our bodies go into a natural detox cycle (similar to what we experience in the spring). We gravitate…
I’m proud to introduce you to my new best friend, The kelp noodle. Just like the package says – healthful, delicious, easy to prepare, and fun to eat! You just can’t go wrong with this noodle! For those of you who have no clue what kelp is, let me break it down for you. Kelp…
Kevin and I had quite the jam-packed day yesterday. We headed to fabric land, the local antique store, home depot, and the mall. All in the name of finding some new things for my food photos. I think the antique store was my favorite, it was like an interactive museum! We got home, took the…

The girls and I would get together on a Saturday afternoon; each required to bring one random sushi ingredient, and the host would be responsible for preparing the grains. Some weekends we’d have wild rice + yam rolls with spicy…
Although the scent of chai has filled our house with the transition to fall, and the homemade chai lattes are flowing freely in the kitchen, I’m not ready to say good-bye to summer. I can accept that the Canadian in me will be enjoying burgers on the grill throughout the depths of winter… so long…
Last guest poster of the bunch; but certainly not least, is Lori from Laurel of Leaves. Lori’s approach to wellness is very similar to mine – she likes home cooked meals made from clean and simple ingredients. One of my favorite things about Lori’s blog is that she shares a lot of the reasons why…
Did you know that cabbage is ridiculously good for you? If you did, you get a gold star! If not, read on. I promise you’ll like where this is going. It… Benefits your eyes. Is rich in sulphur (good for your liver) and iron (balances your blood) Contains phytonutrients that work similarly to antioxidants. These…
You could say that I’ve become a bit obsessed with green tea lately. You can find me using it as a replacement for the milk or juice in smoothies, combining it with almond milk for cereal [don’t knock it till you try it], or enjoying a green tea lemonade as a mid-morning treat. Because there’s…
