Daal Inspired Ginger Beer Soup
You’ve heard the saying “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade”… but what if you’re OUT of wine? This was the predicament I was in today when I decided to make butternut squash & pear soup. What did I do? Well, the title says it all. I replaced the wine with ginger ale and began…
Power Vanilla Citrus Yerba Mate
I don’t even know where to begin with this one. This recipe combines my favourite flavours, ingredients, and packs one mean nutritious punch! I guess I’ll just start off by saying – if you’re looking for an energy drink, warm or cold, this should be your weapon of choice. Key ingredients Coconut water: Coconut water…

No Bake Chewy Carob Squares
I was in the mood for something sweet today. We’ve been living on soup, casseroles, soup, and more casseroles this week. As much as I love these warming foods this time of year, I was dying for a chewy dessert and a tall glass of almond milk. Thankfully after two tries, and a pair of…
Journey to Health: Gratitude
In last week’s post we talked about ingraining positive eating habits, personalizing our nutrition to fit our body type, and expanding our body-mind by embracing gratitude, love, breathing, relaxation, and awareness [referred to as growth values]. Many of us are consumed by what to eat and what foods we should avoid. But choosing healthy food…
Vegan Creamy Carrot Fennel Soup
My favourite soup has to be the pureed variety. In fact I’ve been known to blend regular soups that many would feel should not be blended, including this weeks Immune-zing soup. Soup just tastes better to me when it’s been blended. Blended soup is similar to hot vegetable smoothies, and who doesn’t like those? Okay,…
Biscuit Topped Chicken Pot Pie
After 3 attempts, and so many leftovers I don’t know what to do with, I think I’ve finally nailed this one. I think this has to be one of my largest challenges yet. I don’t have a good track record with experimenting with chicken, which is why you don’t see a lot of chicken recipes…

Hunters Pie with Herb Gravy
I don’t know what I was thinking when I boiled up 15 potatoes and 2.5 lbs of meat for the test run of this recipe. We were left with 2 heaping bowls of meat and potatoes that physically would not fit into our 2.5 qt casserole dish, no matter how physics sliced it. So, seeing…
The Meat Controversy
I think it has to be said before I get into this topic that I was vegetarian for 5 years and a vegan for 4. I have nothing against vegan or vegetarian diets and fully support the choice to go cruelty-free. If done healthfully, and if right for your body, I commend those who are…
