I was feeling a bit under the weather and tired last weekend, and felt like eating some Indian food. We do order some a few times a year, but to be honest, it does get a bit expensive and we end up having so much food that we stretch it over 3-4 meals and by…

5 min Good Morning Juice with Bok Choy and Greens (vegan, raw, organic)
Simple, easy fresh veggie juice recipe I made a couple of days ago. Make sure to use organic produce to reduce your exposure to concentrated pesticides/insecticides in your juice! Good morning juice (for two): 6 huge organic carrots 1 small, peeled, organic lemon (Sometimes I only peel half of it) 3 stalks organic celery 1…
Cottage vacation, beer, chocolatine and poutine
A few weeks ago, we went to the cottage. It’s far away from where we live, in the Lower St. Lawrence region, in northern Quebec. Beautiful place, stuck between water (the majestic St. Lawrence) and mountains. We try to go once a year; it’s a very old wooden house, no insulation. It has electricity, but…

10 min fried green tomatoes — Napoleon style (gluten-free, vegan)
I’m a French-Canadian girl, who partly grew-up in France. I don’t know much about southern culture. I had never heard of “fried green tomatoes” before the movie came out (which I watched in French because I couldn’t speak English yet at that time), and I didn’t even know it was an actual dish before my…
Grow your own potatoes — in a bag!
I can’t remember exactly when it was this summer, maybe a few months ago, I had about 1/3 of a bag of clean soil (pesticide-free) leftover from the beginning of gardening season, and I happened to have a few old organic potatoes that were germinating in my potato basket that I was about to throw…
Seed saving
The end of the produce season is upon us, and that means it’s time for seed saving! It’s something I just started doing this year, but really it’s one more step into being more independent and regaining power in your own health, kitchen, and garden! 🙂 We’ll see next year if it worked. I read…
Spicy Pear-Maple Salsa
Looking for something to do on this casual Saturday? Something healthy that will continue giving all winter long? Make some salsa! I made 2 batches of this recently, and it is delicious! I definitely have to control myself so that I actually have some left for winter. haha Although I call it spicy, it just…
Biggest gluten-free myth
During my two-week event at a local Farmers’ Market, I’ve had the pleasure to meet and chat with lots of people who are eating gluten-free. Some people have to eat gluten-free because of a severe allergy, but a lot of them mentioned that they were trying to reduce gluten to be healthier. But is it…
Amaranth and Chickpea ‘Falafel’ with Pear Salsa (vegan, gluten-free)
Have you ever heard of amaranth? Amaranth is similar to quinoa, but much smaller. It contains many health benefits: Amaranth seeds contain lysine, an essential amino acid, limited in other grains or plant sources. Most fruits and vegetables do not contain a complete set of amino acids, and thus different sources of protein must be…
