Strawberry Rhubarb Frosty Mocktail
You know it’s officially summer when local strawberries and rhubarb fill the farmer’s market and are even sold side-by-side at your supermarket. This is the taste of summer- at least here in Canada. Strawberries and rhubarb have long been combined...

Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Lemon Poppyseed Muffins
I was craving lemon poppyseed muffins. I am not sure why, but it happened. And so my desire to bake a new thing began as it always does – by searching online for a basic muffin I could re-invent. To my...

How to Eat More Beans and Fart Less
As Maeve said ever so eloquently in her recent post about beauty products, when we welcome the goodness of whole foods into our lives, our bodies refuse to tolerate any old crap we continue to put into them. It's also true that when we rid ourselves of toxins, we can even begin to have reactions to the healthy stuff, too. That's because once the terrain in our bodies is clear, our true food intolerances become illuminated. Since I cut out all the garbage, I've noticed that beans and legumes often do not agree with me, even though I didn't have a problem consuming them in the past. Which sucks, since I love to eat hummus by the spoonful.

10 Amazing Things You Can Do With Mint
I have a new hobby and it's really fun: Gardening! I've always planted a few things in my garden every Spring, but this year I've gotten really into it. And want to know a secret...I'm really terrible at it! Things have died, wilted, been chewed up by rabbits, and are growing into one another. At least I can plant flowers that survive....that counts for something right? My garden is what Meghan would call a 'gong show' but I'm really proud of it. I planted it myself, played in the dirt, and pretty soon I'll have a few local organic veggies of my own.

How To Have A Conversation About GMOs
Most people who have an opinion on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in our food will either be all in or dead set against the idea of having them, unidentified and unlabelled, in our food supply. From where I stand, awareness...

Healing Properties of Aloe and Recipe
It couldn't be a week in the tropics without my delving in to one of my simultaneously least and most favourite superfood. I hate it because it's bitter, it's slimy, it stains things purple and it smells like arm pit. But I love it because of the amazingly ability that bitterness and slimyness has on turning the engines on high in the digestive tract.

109 Things To Do With Horseradish
And it makes sense when we get into the doctrine of signatures thing- where foods that look like a part of the body that are good for that part of the body. Well horseradish is a super awesome food to help increase circulation.
Though horseradish can be purchased ready made in most grocery stores, I much prefer to make my own. Often when you buy it, it is full of white vinegar and sugar and dyes. I colour mine with beets, add a little cider vinegar and call it a day.
Now to the topic of this post, I don't really have 109 things for you to do with horseradish, though if they always came in that penial shape, I am sure I could think of a few. Wink wink!

Moving Beyond Manifestation And Making It Happen
When we want to create greatness in our lives there comes a time when we need to move beyond a state of manifesting and take action. Meditation and visualization will help, but there’s more to it. Yes, our thoughts are powerful,...

Best Wild Leek Recipes
There is nothing better than fresh picked ingredients, and there is nothing quite as special as the first wild foods that make themselves known after the snow has melted. And there is nothing more rejuvenating than getting out of the...
