Relevance: 2%      Posted on: August 16, 2012

Today I want to talk to you about something new and exciting that I'm experimenting with... Cultured foods! My good friend Kevin Gianni from Renegade Health absolutely loves including homemade healthy cultured foods in his diet. And for good reason.Many of us have or have had impaired digestion at one time or another in our lives. Maybe it was from a processed foods diet, frequent use of antibiotics, or even a run in with a parasite while traveling.Or you may have a more serious condition like chronic constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, celiacs disease, Crohn's disease or colitis. If any of these situations resonate with you, then keep reading. I'm going to…

Raw Vegan Summer Piña Colada Recipe

Relevance: 2%      Posted on: July 29, 2012

"If you like piña coladas and being caught in the rain..." goes the song by Jimmy Buffett... I think almost everyone knows the lyrics to this song. Even when I was a kid we would sing the words to this song and we had never had a piña colada before haha! But the song sure made them sound good, didn't it?  I have to confess I never really liked regular piña coladas, I didn't care much for their extra sugary, synthetic, milky flavour (or the alcohol). What I have for you today is an exceptionally simple, yet amazingly delicious raw vegan AND much…

Relevance: 2%      Posted on: May 22, 2012

Today I have a really healthy and easy recipe for you, especially if you're interested in losing some weight, feeling better and eating more home cooked food. It's a delicious spin on cabbage soup.  No this is not the recipe from the Cabbage Soup Diet (which after looking at makes me think it kinda sucks...) Mine features whole homemade ingredients without any packages of soup seasoning, V8 or chemical flavour enhancers. The point of the cabbage soup in the cabbage soup diet is to fill you up on broth and vegetables in place of one meal a day so that…

Tarka Dal Remixed with Yams, Potatoes and Spinach (Plant Based and Vegan Red Lentil Curry)

Relevance: 2%      Posted on: February 20, 2018

  Occasionally I take recipes I've already made and change them up a bit depending on what I have on hand if I need to use up some fresh ingredients or when I'm looking for something different. I highly doubt this is in anyway an authentic Indian dish now, but it's still really tasty and healthy. I have adapted my Tarka Dal recipe here and doubled it except for the lentils and added yam, potatoes, and spinach to it. This time I just tossed all of the spices in at the same time instead of making a separate tarka tempering.…

What Exactly is Gluten and What is Celiac Disease?

Relevance: 2%      Posted on: December 5, 2012

What Exactly Is Gluten?   Gluten (pronounced gloo-ten) is a protein that is found in wheat (and related grains such as barley, rye, spelt etc) and products containing these ingredients. Gluten is the reason wheat (and other related grain) doughs are elastic and easily stretchable. It holds the dough together, gives shape and produces a chewy texture when cooked. Gluten is also found in many seasonings, cosmetics and hair products and is used as a binder to "hold" ingredients together. Since gluten is a protein, it is often added to foods low in protein to enhance their level of protein.…

Creamy Plant-Based Coconut Kale and Chickpea Curry Recipe (Vegan)

Relevance: 2%      Posted on: November 5, 2013

I had a really bad craving for a creamy plant-based chickpea curry recipe - BUT I still wanted to make sure it wasn't too decadent so this turned out to be a wonderful compromise. I usually make an all tomato based chickpea curry aka Chana Masala, but I wanted to step out of the box a little, not to mention I had a ton of kale sitting in the fridge. I thought about serving it on the side, but you know what? Kale goes extremely well in a creamy curry sauce too so in it went into the curry! I…

(originally written for another blog of my journey's in summer of 2010) Italy is a wonderful and diverse country with with an abundance of fresh home grown Italian produce and cuisines that vary from region to region.

Relevance: 2%      Posted on: September 6, 2012

Today I want to talk to you about something that could secretly be sabotaging your weight-loss goals. Something so popular in America many people don't even think twice about eating regularly. Some may even think that it's OK to eat or even "harmless". I'm talking about store-bought salad dressings and the fact that they are probably making you fat... or at least keeping you fat! Those creamy, oily, sugary processed salad dressings that come in hundreds and hundreds of different flavors could be keeping you fat.America is convinced that although salad is health food, the only way to choke down…
