Hey Torontonians! Put the steak down and listen up: The 29th annual Vegetarian Food Festival is back in town. No, that is not a typo. It's the 29th year. I know... I'm as shocked as you are. I guess I never took notice of it before because prior to this summer, I was a dedicated … [Read more...]
Stress-Free School Lunches
It's T-minus 24 hours 'till they go back. Another 10 months of, "there's nothing I like in the fridge" and "Daddy makes better lunches than you" (my personal favorite). I think it's because he pre-plucks the grapes from the stem so that his delicate little princess isn't burdened with a single … [Read more...]
Faux Pho
It's Sunday evening at approximately 6pm. My legs are still sore from running the Toronto Women's 10k yesterday. My eyes feel puffy from too much chlorine and not enough sleep. My head is achy after an afternoon of sun and sangria. My tummy is cursing me for indulging in one-too-many caramel-filled … [Read more...]
La Roche-Posay: The Fountain of Youth?
Have you ever heard of the long-fabled Fountain of Youth? I think I may have found it...but instead of it being in Florida, like Ponce de Leon proclaimed, this one is in a small village in central France called La Roche-Posay. Last month, I had the privilege of visiting this town in order to learn … [Read more...]
Grilled Green Tomato Salsa
Whattya do when life gives you lemons? Say, "Awesome! Free lemons!" Earlier this week, I returned home from my global adventures (more info coming soon) to find my urban farm had gone rogue.

Travel to Paris? Mais Oui!

You'll be hearing tons more about La Roche-Posay, an awesome skin care line, but for now I'm bursting to tell you all about my trip...along with a few tips if … [Read more...]
It’s Like Water, But Better. It’s Sink-cola.
As a kid, when I asked my parents what we had to drink with dinner, more often than not, they replied with, "Sink-cola." Get it? Sink-cola. In other words, water. At the time, I was more than annoyed by this response, but in retrospect it was the right thing to do. To this day, I still mainly … [Read more...]
The Blue Mountains-Apple Pie Trail
Do not let the title fool you; there is more than just apple pie and more than just one trail on the Apple Pie Trail. In fact there are at least six different mini trails in the area surrounding Blue Mountain that make up the Apple Pie Trail, including trails in Collingwood, Beaver Valley, Meaford, … [Read more...]
Chickpea and Pepper Salad
First this happened: I'm at the Farmer's market and purchase some garlic scapes and fresh peas. Not because I needed them but because they just looked so pretty. Garlic scapes are the green stalks of garlic plants. The next day this happened: Husband calls me while I'm finishing my run. "What … [Read more...]
Life is Delicious at Blue Mountain Resorts
Question: If you got a group of 14 super-cool, diverse women together, what do you think is the one thing you could guarantee they'd all be interested in? Porn. Food porn, that is. And that is exactly what happened over the past few days at Blue Mountain Resort in Collingwood, ON. For 72 … [Read more...]
