I just finished watching yesterday’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy and am enjoying a warm cup of green tea. I honestly had not watched TV in over a week and had not missed it. Am finally starting to recover from bronchitis and this cough was very effective in getting me to write 4 recipes this week! Everyone tells me…… Continue reading Maple & Tamari Roasted Pork Chops & Veggies
Mexican take-out meets healthy deconstructed taco bowl. Except there’s no rice. I’ll do you better, it’s got protein rich quinoa which like rice; is also naturally gluten free. And it’s highly addictive kind-of-GOOD. Sans meat or with it; it’s totally customizable to your preferences. I enjoy this sans meat simply because the quinoa and black…… Continue reading Mexican Quinoa Casserole
So… I know I promised I would get personal & share a little bit about our March Break holiday… but it’s Easter week! And am getting all sorts of e-mails asking for healthy dessert ideas. So how about we make deal… I’ll throw in a new raw cheesecake AND a glorious bundt recipe your…… Continue reading Strawberry & Oreo Raw Cheesecake
And I’m back! It was a short, but much-cherished mini vacation with my favorite people. I have decided to do a detailed post on it next week, and share some pictures with you all. Something I seldom do; but am taking into account your feedback of seeing a little bit more of me, my family…… Continue reading Spring is for Salads!

Partly because it’s creamy and still has that density that we’ve come to expect from ice cream. It’s also healthier than ice cream because guess what:…… Continue reading I Scream for Nice Cream!
What’s the weekend without a good slice of dense, rich chocolate cake? I like to call this particular recipe “Chocolate Cake 2.0” because it’s THAT good. That subtle hint of citrus stemming from the blood oranges that get pureed into the batter (pulp, skin & everything) after being boiled for 2 hours, is incredibly good- yet…… Continue reading Gluten Free Chocolate Blood Orange Cake
I started typing this blog entry surrounded by the strong smell of freshly brewed coffee, the friendly buzz of people, & a few, rare minutes of “freedom” as one of my best friends entertains my youngest child, Grace. So very thankful to the friends who make this blog possible; because through their help, they enable…… Continue reading Gluten Free Raspberry Clafoutis
I still crave Chinese takeout. There, I said it. I promised you this blog would be a brutally honest account of a person’s journey into eating and feeling well. But the Chinese food craving continues to hold true; at least for the most part. I am often strolling around Toronto’s busy streets; home to some world-class,…… Continue reading Brown Fried Rice Bowl with Veggies & Peanut Satay Sauce
Life without Fajitas would be quite dull. Wouldn’t you agree? Contrary to what some of you may think… although I grew up in a Spanish-speaking country; there wasn’t any Mexican food conveniently available at my house. Like, none at all. I wistfully wish there had been! Middle Eastern & Nicaraguan food were the predominant cuisines in our…… Continue reading Barbacoa Beef Fajitas!
