I am married to a cookie monster, he’s never met a cookie that he doesn’t like. What truly makes his inner cookie monster come out is when he walks into the kitchen and the smell of love, I mean cookies, smacks him in the face. I myself do enjoy a good cookie every now and again, and especially when accompanied… Read More

Its a time to soften a little, letting go of routine and restrictions, and flowing with all that the season has to offer – less time working and more time with friends and family, a little less sugar free and a lot more “yes, please”, and definitely a couple of mid-week glasses of wine….

Two years ago Randy and I set out on a hike in the northern part of Ontario. Little did we know that we would soon stumble across the king of all medicinal mushrooms, Chaga.

Farewell Summer, and RIP to all of the summer plans that I didn’t quite get to! Yes, ok, there are still an official 15 days left of the summer season, but the fall weather has certainly already graced us with its presence.

Most store bought cereals and granolas are touted as “Healthy” but the truth is that they are often loaded with sugar, unhealthy oils and fillers. That’s the bad news.

Those days, those weeks, those months where everything seems to blend together, where you feel like you blink and are turning the page to a new month.
