Simple Scratch Granola
Granola contains so many ingredients that help promote good health: cholesterol-reducing whole oats, digestion-slowing fibre, anti-inflammatory fats, protein and complex carbohydrates. Add it to milk, yogurt or cottage cheese and you've got a well-balanced breakfast or snack. It takes no time...
Roasted Beet and Quinoa Salad
This recipe is a favourite in our family, with the sweet and salty flavours of the beets and feta complimenting each other well. Beets are a good source of potassium, fibre, and folate. The red pigment is a nitrogen-containing form of anthocyanin, which is an antioxidant that falls under...
What is Intuitive Eating?
For anyone who has reached their emotional limit with dieting, or even just wonders if there is another way to feel well and support their best health, it’s possible you’ve come across the term Intuitive Eating. Intuitive Eating is often talked about as a non-diet approach to wellness, but...
Blueberry Basil Smoothie
I've been wanting to play around with blueberries and basil for awhile now and the timing is perfect because my basil is thriving and I have a lot of it! I am so excited about how nicely the basil compliments the blueberries, and you gotta love the colour! It's light and refreshing and loaded...

Creamy Pumpkin Mac n' Cheese
As we prepare for another winter, be sure to star this comfort food for that snowy, nose-in-a-book, Sunday afternoon. I know the pumpkin sounds like a misfit with mac n' cheese, but it seriously creates the creamiest texture. Pumpkin is also rich in fibre, potassium, vitamin A, and folate....
