Cutest Farmers’ Market Table
Well, it’s been a crazy couple of weeks, but I am so happy I took on the challenge of having my own table at a local Farmers’ Market! I wasn’t able to bring my homemade organic bath scrubs to sell, but I got to make tons of healthy delicious organic baked goods, like muffins, brownies,…
Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (low-sugar, gluten-free option)
Made this recipe recently, inspired by one I found online from Martha Stewart. This turned out pretty yummy and lasted several days at room temperature, sitting on the counter with a tea towel over it. I thought they tasted even better after a couple of days. Very easy to make, I used a mini ice…
Simple Heirloom Tomato Salad
Tomatoes are in season, and if you like them as much as I do, what better way to enjoy these delicious pockets of exploding flavour than a simple salad? For this to be good, you MUST use various tomatoes that are in season, from local organic farmers (or your garden!). Mine were a mix of…

Because of their high sugar content, it’s best to eat them whole (or in smoothies) in order to get the beneficial fibres that come with the sweet deliciousness of the fruit. However, for people who have never juiced before, or are scared of enjoying a green juice, this…
A weekend in Montreal turned into a weekend in the Laurentians
I go back to Montreal pretty often, so it’s nothing new for me, but last weekend I drove to Montreal with a friend of mine for a fun girls’ weekend (it was a 3-day weekend because Monday was a statutory day in Ontario). It’s always a lot of fun. Montreal, my hometown, is such a…
Homemade Granola/Oat Bars (vegan, soy-free, gluten-free)
Simple to make. Super yummy. No need to buy commercial granola bars that are filled with sugar and preservatives! These are delicious as is, or if you want, you can add some raw cacao nibs, or chocolate chips, or dried organic cranberries (sulphite-free) for the kids (or the big kids). Oats naturally don’t contain any…
