Creed

Just be here now! Connect with your food source, maybe even grow your own. Stop hiding, shine your light. Have fun, connect, release expectations. Breathe. Choose local organic food. Embrace healthy boundaries. Practice radical self acceptance tempered with a healthy dose of personal accountability. Give freely of yourself. Get outdoors as much as you can. Communicate openly. Surrender. Tune into the flow, move with it. Stretch, move, mix it up, play. Sit in stillness. Make peace with the past, especially your part in it. Embrace your inner child. Create a gratitude ritual, the most sure fire source of happiness there is. Above all else, always choose love.

  • I was planning to do a bunch of different things with the 25 lbs of tomatoes I picked up from @elmridge_farm over the weekend, but I keep coming back to this Slow Roasted Tomato recipe. I am currently roasting my third batch with one more to go... Recipe link is in my profile. 🍅💞 #slowroastedtomatoes #tomatoes #fallharvest #tomatorecipes #roastedveggies #savory #tomatoeandgarlic
  • This Braised Red Cabbage dish is the next in my series of Healthy Festive Favourite dishes. I love the blend of sweet and savoury in this dish, not to mention that it is a delicious but also cost effective addition to any holiday celebration dinner.

  • I picked up 25 lbs of tomatoes (!!) from @elmridge_farm at the @hfxseaportmrkt this morning and I am currently exploring how best to make use of them. I am thinking we'll keep a few to use fresh this week and I will start slow roasting the rest, to store in the freezer and pull out for sauce and risotto over the next few months. I'm mostly excited that I managed to get them home in one piece, when I first saw the box I had my doubts. We managed to split them between an @envirosax bag and our grocery cart and they all arrived home in one piece. Thank goodness, they are gorgeous! #tomatoes #tomatoesgalore #fallharvest #elmridgefarms #halifaxseaportmarket #lycopene #farmersmarketfinds #shoplocal #halifaxseaportmarket #fallvegetables
  • Taking a moment to enjoy this almond milk latte out in the garden behind @no9coffeebar . ☕🌻💞 #almondmilklatte #coffeebreak #lunenburgnovascotia #takingamoment #no9coffeebar #exploring #unescoworldheritage #explorens #localcoffeeshop
  • This Chocolate Raspberry Tart Smoothie from @sondibruner 's fabulous Simple Superfood Smoothies book is in a word, sublime. I am so impressed with this recipe book, the photography is gorgeous, and I love that the recipes are clearly laid out by feature ingredient (berries, dark leafy greens, cacao etc) which allows me to best make use of the ingredients I have on hand. I also appreciate that while there are tons of superfoods included, many of the recipes are based around ingredients that are easy to find at your local grocery store. Some are as simple as four easily sourced ingredients! The introduction provides useful tips and tricks for novices and smoothiophiles alike. Every recipe I have tried has received a thumbs up from all three of my kids, including my son, who tends to be more selective about tastes and textures. This book has quickly become our go-to smoothie book. Well done Sondi, I can't recommend this book highly enough! #smoothie #raspberrysmoothie #smoothiebook #sondibruner #simplesuperfoodsmoothies #smoothierecipes #gotobook #newfavourite #superfoods #everydaysuperfood #healthysmoothies #cookbook
  • It's rainy and cool today, the perfect weather for a batch of Kale and Navy Bean Soup. I've included summer savory in my recipe, a delicious and new to me herb that I have embraced since moving to Nova Scotia last year. This soup is a big hit with my kids and features prominently on our weekly meal rotation.

  • We were incredibly lucky and managed to navigate Hurricane Dorian without any power outages. That being said the storm caused a lot of anxiety for my kids, so we tried to focus on fun activities to keep them distracted. I added this Pecan Maple Chocolate Milk to the mix as comfort food always helps - especially when there is chocolate involved.

  • Over the next 5 weeks I will be sharing a series of healthy festive favourites, perfect for bringing to Thanksgiving dinner. The first of these is a Celeriac Puree with Mixed Mushroom Gravy, using local celery root, cauliflower, Jerusalem artichoke and a selection of beautiful mushrooms from @maritimegourmet . I have also included some 5 Mushroom Powder from @harmonic_arts , to add some immune boosting medicinal mushroom goofness.

  • The countdown is on! Two weeks until my first workshop at @thetareshop ... and somehow the apron makes it all more official.

  • I love chili oil, but I don't love a lot of the additives and preservatives included in conventional versions. I have tried a few different methods and recently discovered that the trick is to heat the oil before adding chilies and garlic. I used avocado oil, as it has a neutral flavour and stands up to high heat. Korean red chili powder and Thai bird chilies make for a killer combo, and it is delicious paired with the Hot & Sour Soup recipe I posted yesterday. I am so happy with how it turned out!
