I am often asked about healthy, vegan breakfast options…Most of the time, I enjoy fresh fruit or a smoothie in the morning, although there are days when fruit just doesn’t cut it. When deciding on what to eat for breakfast I want to make sure that every morsel is healthful, nutritious and of course, delicious. This is where my Quinoa Breakfast Bowl works a real treat. It’s the perfect, cooked,…
Cauliflower is packed with nutrients and high vibrational goodness, so I like to include it in my weekly cuisine in ample amounts whenever it’s in season. I love it raw (see: Cauliflower & Tahini Salad), cooked in soups and curries or gently steamed and served on a soft bed of quinoa with hemp oil & tamari (nothing beats a bit of good ol’ fashioned simplicity!). The coconut and tomato in…
The alarm clock goes off at 5 am, we jump out of bed and rush downstairs to start our Sunday. We sit and have our breakfast, which consists of orange juice and homemade oatmeal topped with banana, maple syrup and a few almonds, while happily watching the weather channel say it is going to be a beautiful day with few clouds and temps in the lower 70’s. That’s perfect for a run and…
What does Memorial Day mean? Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for all of the fallen men and women who fought for our country while serving in the US military. There is evidence that back in the 1800’s, women in the south were putting flowers on the graves of the soldiers before the end of the Civil War (a war which claimed more lives than any other war in…
VEGAN CARAPULCRA WILL MAKE YOU SING! If you read one of my previous posts (Vegan Dog Cookies with Love) then you know how much I like to rhyme. And if you didn’t read it, you’ll know soon enough…because I’ll be inserting rhymes in future articles, including this one! While cooking dinner the other night and singing the praises of what I was cooking, the song “Barracuda” came on the…
I remember how tasty shop bought, coconut chocolate bars seemed to be back in the days when I ate that ‘regular’ kind from the store. I’d enjoy them for a moment of indulgence; get a sugar kick; a brief feeling of euphoria; then I’d experience that uncomfortable ‘I know this wasn’t good for me‘ sort of feeling (thankfully for me, that was over 20 years ago now). These days when…

These delicious, crunchy, easy-to-make biscuits are a real favourite in my house at the moment. It’s actually been a miracle that I caught a photo of them at all, given that they tend to fly out of the kitchen before I manage to get my camera out. Being gluten-free, vegan, free from egg, diary and refined sugar, these chocolate chip biscuits are suitable for most people, whilst offering a perfect…
As a nationally ranked tennis player, I’m constantly working out. Most of the time seven days a week. I guess you could say I’m addicted to exercise. However, I detest going to the gym. Yup. Hate it! I prefer my mountain bike to a stationary bike, a run on a trail to a run on the treadmill, and my home weights for a gym. So, some karmic force must have…
In a culture that tends to bombard us with pollution, free-radicals, electro-smog and a myriad of vibrational lowering stress, I love to know that every morsel of what I eat is supporting my health and helping keep my vibration high. I love starting off the first meal of the day with a fresh juice or smoothie, loaded with nutritious gems. Below, I’m sharing a recipe for my malty-maca, mango and…
It’s late afternoon, I finally have some time……. Not doing it now, would really be a crime. So out come the trays and the bone cookie cutter….. I don’t even call their names, nor a sound do I utter. Next comes the peanut butter, oats and the flour…… The whole endeavor, takes less than an hour. So I mix and I knead…..I know they’re going to love em’……. Then I…
“Cha cha cha chia!” It’s the all-too-familiar commercial jingle played on TV infomercials. When someone says it or you hear it somewhere, it doesn’t leave your head for the rest of the day. Chia Pet, the toy that grows chia seeds into little sprouts. Simply soak your Chia Pet in water, then spread the seeds on the area where they grow, and within days you’ll pretty green vibrant plants. Transform a dog, cat, horse,…
I love dispelling the myth that healthy food can’t be absolutely delicious. There’s something really satiating about eating a dessert that not only tastes scrumptious, but is also full of healthy ingredients. My new ‘Fig-a-licious Vegan Tart’ is free from diary, egg, wheat, gluten, refined sugar and it STILL tastes delectable. We absolutely love this one here, so I felt to share it for anyone else looking for a tasty,…
