This a compilation of previous posts. Some food for thought if you will. Make your family some healthy treats this Hallowe’en so they are less tempted to eat the junk that is handed out door to door. The following four recipes are simple to make and two are no-bake which would be a perfect project…
Supercharge your Green Smoothie: Add Lemon
Add cleansing lemon to your smoothies for added flavour and a health boost. If you find your green smoothies rather flat tasting adding lemon will add some zip. Add a peeled chunk (or unpeeled works too, but make sure it is organic) if you have a high-speed blender like a Blendtec or simply squeeze a…
Red Velvet Smoothie
Do you remember that cake your mom used to make, you know the one with the chocolate and beets added for richness. Well this smoothie is reminiscent of that, except it is so much better for you!! I love beets in my smoothie. They add a complex layer of sweetness and so much nutrition. This…
Kale + White Bean Chowder
This autumn soup is loaded with nutrition, is super simple to make and hits the spot on a dark and dreary fall day. I cooked up a batch of white kidney beans also known as cannellini beans in my awesome slow cooker the other day and have been eating them like crazy. I prefer to eat…
Oh-So-Simple Korean Spiced Beans
These are the tastiest beans I have ever had and are so easy to make. They seriously take only 5-minutes!! Serve them over smashed baked potatoes or with a side of quinoa or rice and greens. My son loves these served straight up with a side of toast or organic blue sprouted tortilla chips. 3…

At harvest time I like to make this soup with fresh garden tomatoes for a lighter, fresher variation. 1 tbsp extra virgin coconut oil 1 1⁄2 cups…
Simple Dahl

Chickpea Power Sandwich Spread
Looking for a nice light summer lunch? Look no further! This spread is spectacular on sandwiches and equally good stuffed in a pita or served with crackers. Add roasted red pepper, lettuce and sprouts for a spectacular power sandwich. 1 cups cooked or canned chickpeas (rinsed and drained) 1 cup grated carrots 1 stalk celery,…
Quinoa Tabbouleh
This is a simple, gluten-free variation on the classic Middle Eastern salad. So light and refreshing and a cinch to make. 1 to 1-1/2 cups of cooked quinoa (from 1/2 cup dry) 1 cup of quartered cherry tomatoes 1 cup diced cucumber 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint Dressing: 2 tbsp…
Beet and Carrot Slaw
This is a simple, earthy salad that is beautiful to look at and takes no time at all to make in the food processor using the grater attachment. 2 1/2 cups grated carrots 1 1/2 cups grated raw beets 2/3 cup crumbled goat cheese (optional) 1/2 tsp Herbamare or regular sea salt 1 1/2 tsp…
