It’s a mouthful to say, and a mouthful to eat, but my latest cookie creation may just be my favorite yet. Cookies will always have a soft (chewy, chocolate chip-y) spot in my heart. They were the first more-than-one-ingredient food I attempted in recovery, and so I’ll always imagine them as a delicious medallion of […]

This year, I’m celebrating Hanukkah for the first time. I learned about the Maccabees, lit the candles, and made the latkes. It’s been really fun learning about another holiday, and let me tell you – the latkes were DELICIOUS. I can never follow any recipe exactly (which results in some great successes, and some EPIC […]
Read MoreI love coconuts. They are to me what Pumpkin Spice is to so many. If it is coconutty, chances are I will try it. When I lost the ability to digest dairy products, coconut milk quickly became my go-to for cereal, smoothies, and soups. It only made sense that I learn how to make it […]

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know that a few weeks ago I went to Niagara-on-the-Lake to visit my friend, Tess. She’s off being a superstar in a couple of shows at the Shaw Festival, and I was thrilled to go play proud friend in the audience. In addition to being a kick-ass singer/actor/dancer, […]
Read MoreI’ve never been a huge fan of pie (not that I’ll turn down a slice from time-to-time), but you can always win me over with a good apple crisp. I was craving a little dessert-y goodness the other day, so I threw together the contents of my cupboard, and it resulted in a super-delicious, ridiculously […]
Read MoreSay what now? Amaranth? A couple of days ago, a friend of mine posted a link about amaranth to my Facebook wall and asked, “What is this?” And you know what? She’s not alone. Not many people are familiar with amaranth, but it’s time you had a proper introduction. Amaranth is generally classed as a […]
Read MoreAs you may have guessed, since my last recipe also featured peppermint and chocolate, I am a fan of the flavor combination. As a kid, I LOVED junior mints, and After Eight mints, and the chocolate mint Girl Guide Cookies . . . just about anything chocolate and mint. So the other day, when I […]
Read MoreYep. Just like the Chia Pets of the 80s. Who knew then that it would be such a popular food? Chia seeds kinda look like overgrown poppy seeds, but they’re oh so much more. They’re a great source of Omega-3 fatty acids AND they have a perfect balance of soluble and insoluble fibre. What does […]
Read MoreThis morning, I challenged you all to talk: to own your truth and open a conversation. Today, an interview I did was featured on Melissa Ramos’ website Sexy Food Therapy. She wanted me to speak about my experience, my food philosophy, and eating disorders in general. Also, she featured my recipe for these cookies (check […]
Read MoreToday was the first day of fall and, if you live in Toronto, you definitely felt it. It was windy and cold, and I totally broke out my thigh-high leg warmers for my outdoor yoga class today. I know, I’m a classy dame. When the cold starts to seep in, all I want for breakfast […]
