I’m celebrating my 7th vegan year this month. Every year I’ve thought of sitting down and reflecting and writing about all the things that being vegan has meant to my heart. And, as in so many things that are important to our hearts, I’ve been scared every year. I never wanted to come off as […]

Occasionally I’ll recommend going caffeine-free to clients, based on how they’re feeling, so I wanted to challenge myself this month to find the best substitutes out there for them.

(Their two big marketed ingredients). But the rest […]
Mexican Rice and Beans Recipe
I LOVE tomatoes. So it’s no surprise, then, that the first time I had an incredibly flavourful plate of Mexican rice and beans, flavoured with tomatoes and spices, I was in love. I’m not crazy about the taste and starchiness of rice, so this recipe is much more a Mexican Beans recipe with a bit […]
