Brussels Bowl with Cauliflower “Rice” and Rosemary Sauce
There are so many things that I love about this meal. I’ve wondered if grains were bothersome to my body for awhile but the reaction was so faint, so barely there, that I didn’t pay much attention to it. The key to becoming the healthy, balanced being that we all strive for is listening to…
Indian Red Lentil Stew
A girl’s gotta treat herself every once in awhile. Whether it’s a weekend retreat, getting a pedicure, or an elaborate haircut, doing something kind to ourselves makes us feel good, relaxed and special. It doesn’t have to be huge. Heck, I consider taking myself out to tea and reading for a couple of hours in…
Apricot Ginger Chia Chews
Cleanse day 5. Oh heck ya. We’ve done a full day of liquids, ate more veggies than we ever thought possible, and resisted cravings left, right and sideways. Nicely done! Make sure to check back over the weekend to view the meal plan for week two of our cleanse. Cravings got you down? You’re not…
Pearrific Green Smoothie
In October, I embarked on a self-guided 30 day yoga challenge to help sooth my emotions surrounding our recent move to Montreal. My intention for the month was to grow roots in this new city, begin to feel like I belong somewhere, let go of my fears and embrace the longing I had to return…
Roasted Garlic Soup
We’re on to day 3 of our two week cleanse. How’s everyone feeling? I know you may be trailing behind due to having to get groceries and prepare yourself mentally, but whatever day you’re on, even if you intend to start next week, we’re in it together. Over 100 of us have committed to this…
North Pole Green Juice
I remember the day my Mom came home with a juicer… it was a scary. Her eyes lit up with excitement, she said something about beets, spinach… kale. I remember thinking, ‘Dad hates beets, what person likes spinach, and what the heck is a kale?’ I liked my veggies with butter, dressings and spices, not…
Portobello Orzo with Dairy-free Lemon Mint Cream Sauce
Oh man, orzo is awesome. It’s pasta, but small like rice which means that you can eat more of it with each spoonful than say, when you eat spaghetti. Paired with a nice and creamy (vegan) sauce and you have a meal that even your picky boyfriend will eat. Yes, I said it… Kevin enjoyed…
Macro Greens Bowl with Green Dressing and Protein Boost Mix
I purchased the reFresh cookbook back in 2007 and was quickly introduced to the amazingness that is Fresh Restaurant in downtown Toronto. I’ve prepared almost every single one of their recipes over the years and have long since dreamed of sitting in their Spadina location sipping on elixirs and filling my belly with yummy vegan…

Vegan California Rolls with Edamame Pate
Wow, what a great weekend I just had, my gosh. Did you have a good weekend? I know, it’s already Tuesday but I feel like it’s Monday so bear with me. It all began on Friday morning when I boarded the train at Montreal Central Station headed for Kitchener, Ontario. It was a long trek,…
