I was at the farmers market in my local park today. There is an incredible farmer who is always there and sells grass finished meat. I LOVE his products. Today while I was there buying some beef I noticed that he was selling goat meat. The first time I had goat meat was when I was travelling through Africa. I really liked it and wondered why it wasn’t more common here in North America. READ MORE

A major link has been overlooked, or possibly just disregarded by society and by our “Health Care” industry. This is the link between the body and the brain. The link between nutrition and mental and emotional illness, or wellness per say. The link between how food affects our body and in turn affects the functioning of our brain, and how stress affects the functioning of our digestion and hence our body, resulting in more stress on our mental and emotional states, and how the two interact.  READ MORE

Spring is in the air!! This is one of my favorite times of the year. I love watching everything come to life after a long winter. The colors of the flowers, the fullness of the trees with leaves on them, and the smell of fresh cut grass. It’s all wonderful and alive! In my house, with the change of the season comes the opportunity to “cleanse”. I’m not just talking about cleansing the body, although spring is a fantastic time to do that as well. Spring brings the opportunity to cleanse my house too!  READ MORE

This year we had a particularly painful winter in Toronto. It was colder than usual and we had a lot more snow than we usually do. In addition, spring came late! So this weekend when I was up at the cottage and we finally had some beautiful sunny weather I was inspired to make a fresh salsa that the fam could enjoy while sitting down on the dock watching the boats go by.

Every once in a while I get that giddy school girl feeling over a new food product. The common oils in my house are coconut oil, olive oil, and flax oil. However, just recently I added a fourth oil to the roster. One that I’m very excited about. Not only because it tastes AMAZING but because it looks good naked. The oil I’m talking about is called camelina oil. READ MORE

I’m a Certified Nutritionist and one thing that I have seen time and time again is that this notion of “dieting” really doesn’t work. I see people become frustrated with their weight and then decide that they are going to GO ON a diet. They are using the term ‘diet’ in the form of a verb as if it is something that you do to yourself for a short period of time to fix a problem. The main reason these diets don’t work is because they are a short term fix to a long-term problem. READ MORE

I love Mexican food! As you may know fish taco’s are one of my favorite foods on the planet! However, I also love meat tacos. In fact, I love meat tacos, burritos, and taco salads. The problem is that I often don’t trust the meat served at burrito shops and the meat that comes on many taco salads is quite scary looking.  READ MORE

Someone asked me one time what my “guilty pleasure” food was. After thinking about this for a moment I have come to the conclusion that it’s fish tacos! I absolutely LOVE them! When I see fish tacos on a menu or at a market I get very very excited. READ MORE

Who doesn’t love mac and cheese!? I sure do 🙂 The problem is that most mac and cheese recipes are unhealthy for us. They are loaded with refined flour, saturated fat, processed dairy, and in some cases preservatives, flavourings, colouring, etc. READ MORE
