I’ve made raw energy bars in the past but have always followed recipes. I looked through my recipes today and didn’t have all the ingredients for one full recipe so I decided to make my own. When you buy commercial energy bars, they often have added preservatives and additives in them. As well, when they’re heated...

I’ve been trying to add more fermented foods into my meals lately. Fermented foods are an excellent source of probiotics and a natural way to include them in your diet. Some fermented foods include homemade sauerkraut, miso, tempeh, raw apple cider vinegar and plain yogurt. Fermented foods also contain raw enzymes which give us extra...

It’s our natural desire as human beings to want new things. Whether they’re material things, relationships or a drastic change in life, we’re rarely happy with what we have. Most of us hold a cherished belief that says a change in our outside world would do the trick. We even go as far to blame...

Pasta is a great way to have a combination of a nutritious and delicious food. I enjoy making olive oil based sauces and just adding lots of vegetables and spices. The pasta that I made for lunch today was simple but really tasty. I always use brown rice pasta when I cook at home. White pasta raises...

If you follow my blog and the recipes I post, you might start to think that a lot of the dishes are similar. Well, essentially they are. I tend to have a grain as a base, lots of mixed vegetables and a sauce to top it off. I cooked some lentils and quinoa in the morning so...

If you’re new to eating quinoa, there are so many different ways that you can enjoy it. One great option is to use them as “stuffing” in a dish. In this case, they became mushroom stuffing. I usually cook quinoa ahead of time and this helps to inspire me to make something out of it. ...

I started making lunch and began to cook some vegetables, when I noticed that I didn’t have any grains left in my cupboards to eat them with. Usually I keep a supply of rice pasta, lentils, quinoa or brown rice in my cupboard that I use as the base of my meals. I decided to just keep...

It’s great to start your day with fruit because it’s very easy to digest. You don’t want to overload the body first thing in the morning because this can cause digestive problems for the rest of the day. Add some yogurt for healthy probiotics and ground flax seeds for healthy fats next. You’ll have a...
