I have given myself permission to have chocolate everyday. This may not sound like a good thing – but let me tell you that it is, on sooo many levels! Not only does chocolate or better yet cacao possess many amazing nutrients including magnesium, antioxidants and other amazing trace minerals- it makes you feel good. ...

How can a berry so little be packed with so much punch? Acai berries are becoming a bit of a new trend and is quite the buzz word these days. Acai powder, acai juice, acai pulp, capsules and so on. Whatever the form, and whatever you may have heard – it is most likely true. ...

I have recently been struck with coconuts. I am talking the real deal, whole, full and ripe young coconuts. It can’t get much better than this (well yes it can, if only I lived under a coconut tree!). But this is still pretty good. So I have been enjoying cracking them open, putting in my ...

Sometimes you have to be creative and make do with limited resources. Whenever I ...

Bringing back my favourite childhood meal help to conquer my recent cravings for Mac n’ Cheese. There is nothing more delicious then biting into creamy “cheezy” noodles that are doused in orange sauce and covered with “breadcrumbs”. It is even better when it is vegan, gluten free and organic. I know, I know nothing will ...

This may sound like a challenge, but you can enjoy delicious food this holiday without restricting yourself (or indulging for that matter!). It is not about dieting and sitting across the table wishing you can eat something that you told yourself you couldn’t. It is about taking control. Make the right choices this year, because ...

One of my favourite warming drinks this time of year is a Masala Chai Tea Latte. Not just any chai latte but my own home brew. Since I am not a fan of tea bags (except for Yogi Tea or Pukka Tea) and I can’t tolerate black tea (the caffeine gets to me) – that ...

Wild rice, not actually being rice, is really one of a kind. It has this chewy grainy texture that is slightly addicting and thoroughly enjoyable. It may be common for some to use but really I kind of consider it one of my “once in a while choices”, and I want to use it more ...
