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…
How I Prepared For My First Half Marathon

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…
Journey to Health: A Week Of Dialogue With My Heart
If I had to describe my time at Yasodhara ashram in 5 words or phrases, I’d choose: dialogue connecting rooting finding my power opened up my heart and letting it sing But my 7 day trip definitely didn’t start out this way. I spent Thursday evening in Cranbrook at a lovely Bed & Breakfast, then…
Guest Post with Laurel of Leaves: Lime & Mint Chicken Coleslaw
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…
