To Surrender In Love
It’s just kind of how I feel right now. 💕🙏🌹 Full to the brim in gratitude and love. My message today is to love – No matter what. Love propels you forward and if you are not moving, you are dying. Love gives us courage, love gives us hope, love saves us, love just because….and […]
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
PUMPKIN Anyone? LOL!! This is my favourite food. It is a ‘food group’ all on its own. I made this smoothie for breakfast yesterday morning and totally fell head over heels. I think we crave the spices that work so well with pumpkin – especially in the fall and winter – they actually help to comfort us and […]
Braised Brussels Sprouts
Braised Brussels Sprouts We keep hearing that people don’t like Brussels sprouts, which probably means they don’t like overcooked, soggy, strong-tasting vegetables by any name!

Matcha Lattes – Our Latest Addiction
What is Matcha? First of all, it is our latest addiction. We make it with a combination of non GMO soy milk and organic coconut milk. Rich, creamy and green and earthy tasting. Matcha came to Japan over a thousand years ago as an aid to meditation practice. During long hours of sitting, monks would […]
