I’m gonna say it before you even think it: looks Ewwwwww, tastes Yummmmmm!
You know what they say, “don’t judge a book by its cover!”
I went to the Farmers Market in Milton last weekend and bought a beautiful basket of peaches but because I also bought blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries the peaches were forgotten.  I went [...]

I’ve lived in Toronto for almost 13 years and I’ve always loved the hot and humid summers but, honestly, isn’t this taking it a little too far???!!!  Perhaps because of all the extra blood volume in pregnancy this is feeling more intense than usual….but I’m not convinced; my hubby looks like a beached seal right [...]

As the weather changes and refreshing beverages become a must, I decided to fashion a pregnancy drink that I can savour throughout the upcoming summer months.  It’s an iced tea/virgin mojito that’s perfect for a hot day with friends while they’re enjoying coronas.
It’s super easy to make, delicious (not only for the pregnant chicks), and [...]

I love trying recipes that have new ingredients in them, once I’ve tried the dish of choice I decide whether or not the new ingredient is a keeper.  This is how I’ve come to have some interesting new things in my pantry- umeboshi paste, all types of seaweed, Bragg’s seasoning, tamari, coconut oil, apple cider [...]

I love dill, it has such a fresh and intense flavour.  Not only does is taste great with capers and smoked salmon, it’s also got some wonderful medicinal properties.  Dill is a great remedy for intestinal gas and indigestion and it’s also known to stimulate milk flow in nursing mothers…I may need more dill in [...]

I saw a clip of Jamie Oliver on Oprah discussing his Food Revolution.  Obviously I think what he’s doing is much needed and I hope we can make some similar changes here in Canada.  Solid nutrition should start at infancy and continue into childhood and the teenage years.  Jamie made a controversial statement saying something [...]

It’s that kind of day: Sunday, grey weather, big hockey game will soon be on; thought I’d make a big batch of chilli.  Appropriate no?  If you’re looking for inspiration for dinner tonight give this one a try:

Lean ground turkey (1-3 lbs)- buy this from the “free from” section at Loblaws or [...]

Whenever something new comes into my life, when I’m learning a new skill, or trying to achieve a specific goal I tend to get a little obsessive about it.  I’ll read about it constantly, I’ll talk about it all the time, and I usually have a difficult time balancing it with the other things in my [...]

I’d say that banana chocolate chip is one of the better food combinations out there, especially in a loaf or muffin when the chocolate chips are slightly hard and cool.  You’re probably thinking, “isn’t this supposed to be a healthy food blog?”, yes it is but I’m a girl who loves a treat now and again.  [...]
