How to make Homemade California Rolls
Homemade California rolls were a huge part of my life as a holistic nutrition student. 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…
Lean and Clean Turkey Burgers
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…
Energy Smoothies
This long weekend has been so fantastic already. I’m thrilled to have another day today to continue cleaning the house, organizing our offices, and making a mark in the endless pile of laundry. It’s my first weekend at home in over 2 weeks so I’ve let a lot of things fall to the wayside. Sometimes…
Homemade Chai Concentrate + Iced Chai Lattes
It’s my Mom’s birthday today. Well, actually it was Friday, but we chose to push the celebration to today. I made my Dad a chocolate quinoa cake with vanilla buttercream icing for his birthday in June… so the pressure was on to come up with something: That didn’t involve a “baked good” because Mom doesn’t…
Millet and Amaranth Porridge
Since getting back from the ashram late Tuesday night, all I’ve wanted to eat is millet. Millet, millet and more millet! You see, each morning after our yoga asana classes, we would head to the Mandala House for a bowl of hot millet porridge and fresh fruit from the garden. The toppings were vast, the…

I’m happy to introduce you to Kristina from Spabettie. For those of you who don’t know Kristina, she’s one of the warmest, most caring, and dynamic women I know. Although we’ve never met in person, it’s hard not to get a sense of what she’d be like in real life. Her personality pours out of…

Green Tea Lemonade
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…
Green Energy Smoothies
The race starts in 3.5 hours. I’m tucked up in the hotel bed with an ice pack on my knee, sipping my smoothie and looking forward to my pre-race quinoa flake bake. Technically I should be sleeping, but I couldn’t go another minute without sharing this recipe with you! When my Mom and Dad came…
