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.

  • This week I am featuring a spinach and artichoke dip, which is delicious paired with crackers or sliced veggies. I have elected to use white beans (navy or cannellini or your own wild card)l instead of the typical mayo base. I typically soak and cook dried beans but canned works too.

  • I'm thrilled to announce that I will be hosting a Zero Waste Festive Sip and Savour workshop at @thetareshop on November 30th! The workshop will be an hour long, featuring a DIY oat milk demo followed by preparation and tasting of three different festive holiday beverages. While we sip and savour our beverages I will be facilitating a discussion featuring zero waste tips and tricks for the holidays. Please note that while the oat milk itself is nut free, I cannot guarantee zero cross contamination due to the equipment I am using.

  • Operation caterpillar rescue, round two - my husband is currently outside freeing this little critter's buddy. We found this little dude crawling in a head of broccoli, thankfully before we started chopping. We have gifted him this leaf of Swiss chard and will be liberating him along with three other stowaways my daughter found in the time it took me to type this. They are exactly the same shade as the broccoli stalk and I count my lucky stars that we found them before they came in contact with our knife, as that would have been traumatic indeed. #befreelittlecaterpiller #caterpillarrescue #caterpillarliberation #farmfreshproduce #adventuresinproduce #broccoliadventures #narrowmiss
  • I adore the vibrant golden colour of this turmeric from @harmonic_arts . Buying spices that are vibrant, colourful and full of fragrance makes such a difference. I adore Harmonic Arts as a company, they have a very good thing going on. Next up: homemade curry powder from #undietcookbook followed by prepping a soup recipe with my kiddos. #turmeric #freshspices #fragrant #colourful #qualitymatters #harmonicarts
  • This week I have a brand new Chai Spiced Squash Soup recipe, featuring a gorgeous Hubbard Squash from the @hfxbrewerymarket . If you find yourself without a Hubbard Squash, this recipe would work well with butternut or pumpkin squash instead.

  • This date sweetened vegan horchata recipe by the @minimalistbaker is crazy delicious. Our kids were interested in learning more about the Day of the Dead, so we attended an event at the @hfxpublib last weekend and spent the afternoon with friends cooking Mexican cuisine and pairing this fabulous drink with Mexican spiced chocolate. Now the kids are in bed and my honey and I are trying it out latte style, using @dandyblend as our coffee base. Now we are off to watch Rotten on Netflix, which will no doubt radically shift our thinking and shopping habits around the foods profiled. #rottendocumentary #makesyouthink #foodsourcing #ifiknowbettericandobetter #horchata #veganhorchata #dandyblend
  • This week's recipe was inspired by the year my husband and I spent teaching in South Korea back in the day. While we were there we fell head over heels for kimchi and Bi Bim Bap, this delicious mix of rice and veggies that is both delicious and incredibly nourishing. I have swapped out marinated lentils for the traditional ground meat, but tempeh is equally delicious.

  • In addition to being a pretty awesome dude, Mike at @twodumbvegans also makes an epic pretzel roll/marinara roll/cocoa roll! Now comes the challenge of cutting them into 5 equal pieces... #twodumbvegans #veganbaking #halifaxbrewerymarket #fleamarketfinds #favouritevendor
  • I am so proud of my daughter, she submitted a video to the Nourish NS Film Challenge and was selected as one of the top three finalists. Her passion for food (and life in general) never ceases to amaze me! A CBC link to her video is in my profile. #soproudofthiskid #passionateandfearless #passionateaboutfood #nourishns #nourishfoodandfilmchallenge
  • Quick pickles times three, including beets, radishes and a combo of banana peppers, jalapenos and garlic. Can't wait till these are ready! #quickpickle #quickpickling #diypickles #beetpickles #radishpickle #pickledpeppers #pickledhotpeppers #diy
