Caffeine Free Hazelnut Mocha
I have managed to go most of my life without a coffee addiction. I made it through high school, university and full time work mostly unscathed, aside from a few mild flirtations.
Ajvar Spread
We first tried the awesomeness known as Ajvar when we were in Ottawa a few months back. We were visiting the Ottawa farmer’s market with our kids when we happened upon a Macedonian festival at a nearby pavilion.
Turmeric Tea Blend
Turmeric is a pretty amazing little root. It's bright yellow colour (orange, if you are using a fresh root) is indicative of curcumin, the compound contained in turmeric which contains pretty incredible cancer fighting and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Hearty Za’atar and Sorghum Soup
Back in my university days I remember popping into a cafe on the University of Toronto campus to pick up a quick and filling lunch. They frequently served Italian Wedding Soup, which I was a big fan of. There was something about the little balls of chewy pasta, paired with greens and meat balls that was satisfying from both a textural and flavour perspective.
Caribbean Chickpea and Potato Roti
I am a long time fan of Caribbean food, especially roti filled with a delicious combination of curried chickpeas and potato.
Bring on the Kimchi!
My love affair with kimchi dates back almost 15 years, when my husband and I spent a year teaching english in Korea and fell in love with this fermented side dish.
Monthly Periodicals
I cringe when I think of all of the years I spent using conventional pads and tampons. When we began making lifestyle shifts to embrace a healthier way of being, I started to research the ingredient lists of all of the products we were using, and I was often horrified at what I found.
The Great Hair Debate
The issue of hair removal for women is a touchy issue. Men have it easy, they can choose to grow facial hair, or not. They can choose to get manscaping done, but it is by no means a requirement. Having more hair does not make a man less masculine, in fact the opposite is true.
Strawberry Shortcake Quick Oats
I love oatmeal in the morning, whether it is warm in the winter or prepared as an overnight oat or quick oat variation in warmer weather. I love to mix up the ingredients I use, whether it's chocolate & chaga, blueberry and lemon, or in this case, Strawberry Shortcake!

Sparkling Turmeric Lemon-Limeade
We stopped drinking soda (or pop, as we like to refer to it up north) over 10 years ago. I found it sickly sweet and wasn't comfortable with the extra add on ingredients (corn syrup and caramel colouring being two prime examples).
