Journey to Health: Gratitude
In last week’s post we talked about ingraining positive eating habits, personalizing our nutrition to fit our body type, and expanding our body-mind by embracing gratitude, love, breathing, relaxation, and awareness [referred to as growth values]. Many of us are consumed by what to eat and what foods we should avoid. But choosing healthy food…
Vegan Creamy Carrot Fennel Soup
My favourite soup has to be the pureed variety. In fact I’ve been known to blend regular soups that many would feel should not be blended, including this weeks Immune-zing soup. Soup just tastes better to me when it’s been blended. Blended soup is similar to hot vegetable smoothies, and who doesn’t like those? Okay,…
Biscuit Topped Chicken Pot Pie
After 3 attempts, and so many leftovers I don’t know what to do with, I think I’ve finally nailed this one. I think this has to be one of my largest challenges yet. I don’t have a good track record with experimenting with chicken, which is why you don’t see a lot of chicken recipes…

Hunters Pie with Herb Gravy
I don’t know what I was thinking when I boiled up 15 potatoes and 2.5 lbs of meat for the test run of this recipe. We were left with 2 heaping bowls of meat and potatoes that physically would not fit into our 2.5 qt casserole dish, no matter how physics sliced it. So, seeing…
The Meat Controversy
I think it has to be said before I get into this topic that I was vegetarian for 5 years and a vegan for 4. I have nothing against vegan or vegetarian diets and fully support the choice to go cruelty-free. If done healthfully, and if right for your body, I commend those who are…
Wild Game Meat: Health Benefits
This content is from a previous post about the controversy surrounding meat. I’ve been told that the full post wasn’t viewable in many RSS readers, so I’ve divided them in hopes that this will fix the issue for all of you. Wild game I’ll be honest with you – I was never too keen on…
The Affect Of Fiber On Your Health
This topic is near and dear to my heart. For years; unbeknownst to me, I was consuming foods that were completely devoid of nutrients, fiber included. I was frequently in and out of the hospital with bouts of digestive pain and swelling, an experience I wouldn’t wish upon anyone. Doctors would recommend lactulose (a synthetic…

So now that another holiday season has come an end, what are we to do with ourselves until spring has sprung? Seasonal Eating Here in Calgary especially, we’re blessed with experiencing all four seasons. Although…
