Raw, nut-free Golden Goji Bites I know how challenging it can be to send healthy snacks off to school that are nut-free. Given the alarming rate of serious nut allergies, this is not something to be taken lightly. Happy with the overall result of the Golden Goji...
I love experimenting in the kitchen, coming up with easy (MUST be easy) and nutritious recipes that hopefully taste good (my team of critics can be harsh)! I'm often searching for healthy snacks to add to lunches for myself and family. Most "prepared" snacks are just...
My boys in particular are (mostly) generous when I recruit them for taste testing. Several members of Dan's basketball team got roped into tasting this one. I'm not sure if they were overly polite as they were counting on a drive back to the gym, really hungry or...
Inspired by the remarkable Kris Carr, I tried out her recipe for granola. I made a few adjustments to the recipe, and am really happy with the results. Tasty, crispy, nutritious and super quick to make! It has quickly become a family favourite! Super Easy Granola 2...

The original recipe comes from Clean Eating magazine. I couldn't help myself though; it didn't have onions and that just isn't right in our house! How can you have a vegetable soup without onions? Of course, my meddling didn't stop there; I had to switch up a...
Did you know that magnesium deficiency is one of the most common mineral deficiencies to have? Did you know that magnesium plays a very important role in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth? It's also important for proper muscle function, and can help...
