Oh my goodness, I’m just waking up now instead of the 3 hours ago that I intended. Kevin flew in from Montreal last night and his flight was delayed to 12:08am. As much as I love seeing him at the airport and being there to welcome him home, waking up halfway through the night to…
Every Sunday afternoon my Dad made us two bowls of chicken noodle soup + a tall stack of saltines for the weekly afternoon golf show on CBC. We’d sit on the chesterfield; my feet barely hanging over the sides, with my soup on my lap and my crackers laid out on the cushion beside me….
I’ve been craving greens, fish, and fresh fruit like no one’s business this week! I’ve had my fair share of 15 minute salmon cakes, BBQ kale chips, and various fruit salads. Right around this time every year, our bodies go into a natural detox cycle (similar to what we experience in the spring). We gravitate…
I’m proud to introduce you to my new best friend, The kelp noodle. Just like the package says – healthful, delicious, easy to prepare, and fun to eat! You just can’t go wrong with this noodle! For those of you who have no clue what kelp is, let me break it down for you. Kelp…
I recently had my parents over for dinner while Kevin was traveling a couple weeks ago. It’s nice to have the house to myself every once in awhile, but after a couple of weeks I tend to get a bit lonely! When my parents called me on a Monday night to ask what I was…
Soup isn’t a popular meal at our house. I love it, Kevin loves it, but we both love different kinds. Kevin’s idea of a good soup is broth + MEAT. My idea of a good soup is vegetables, meats, lentils, and spices. Kevin wont have anything to do with eating the soup that I like…
The adventure of the pureed soups continue. I love pureeing because: Pureed foods share healthful commonalities with smoothies. Pureed soups warm you up quickly. Almost anything you puree tastes fantastic and is easy to make. You can freeze pureed foods and eat them later. I have a vitamix. I know, you can puree with other…
You’ve heard the saying “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade”… but what if you’re OUT of wine? This was the predicament I was in today when I decided to make butternut squash & pear soup. What did I do? Well, the title says it all. I replaced the wine with ginger ale and began…
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,…
