Our whole family has a cold right now. Some are worse than others, but we all pretty much have a sore throat and are stuffed up. Today I took my homemade chicken noodle soup recipe and ramped it up a bit to add a few things I thought would help relieve some of our symptoms. [...]
This past weekend I realized that in the last 25 days of juicing, I’ve started to favourite one of the green juices I was making over the others. I’m not a fan of the green juices (containing mostly green and green-leafed vegetables and herbs), but this one isn’t so bad. This juice is great to [...]
I’ve been trying to create a good morning juice recipe for after these 30 days are done as I still want to maintain some juicing during my day to pack in as many vitamins as I can. A few days ago, I threw this one together and I have been using it every morning since. [...]
Since I am on juice for the next 13 days, I thought it would be a challenge to bake something, mostly from scratch using a sauce that had no added salt or sugar. I juiced two tomatoes to create a base for my sauce and got to work pulling this out of thin air. I [...]
Now that I am getting good at making juice, I’ve started to try out my own concoctions once a day. Today it was my own version of a V8 without any added sugars or salt. Now I’m not sure if my taste buds have just gotten used the taste of vegetables, but I really liked [...]
This white chocolate candy cane fudge recipe was a hit at our Christmas party last year. It’s easy to make and a fun addition to your dessert tray. If you’ve learned anything about me over the last few months, it’s that I like to take leftovers or ‘extras’ and turn them into fudge, so this [...]

This recipe was a big hit at a recent event I attended with London Drugs. Chef Hans Pinto gave me permission to post it here for anyone at the event and for all of you who might like to try something a little different when entertaining. We are having a get together at our place [...]
Well it’s the day after Halloween and across the country everyone is experiencing the dreaded ‘sugar hangover’. I went to the first couple of houses with my husband and our girls, but I had to double back to man the fort and hand out candy. We live in a hidden cul de sac and, although [...]
If you like this recipe, check out our regular Roasted Pumpkin Seeds Recipe. Only one more sleep until Halloween. We’ve been busy decorating the inside and outside of our home this month and our girls got to carve their own pumpkins last weekend. Now I already have a great recipe for Roasted Pumpkin Seeds, but [...]
I was wandering around the grocery store last night trying to come up with a new idea for a breakfast smoothie for our girls. My smoothies are never the same and I love trying new ingredients that I had never though of before. Enter ‘the avocado’. Avocados have a lot going for them as a [...]
