Love Cake

‎”The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.” – Eden Ahbez

I’ve been looking at Sarah McLachlan’s collection of recipes “Plenty” for a while now – and then on Saturday I was trying to decide what to make for dessert to take to the November Birthday Party (what a [...]

Quinoa Salad (HL)

Served this yummy salad at a networking party I held at my place last night – it was delicious and I’m thrilled there are leftovers for me today!  I can’t take credit for the serving tip (shown below) – Richelle at Blighty’s Bistro served up her salad’s on Monday night in the same fashion for [...]

From my dear friend Debra Wilson who says this is “an awesome cold pasta salad” – she got it from her friend Maureen Hertz!

¼ c  soya sauce
¼ c white wine vinegar
2 tbsp chilli sauce (you can buy this at Fairways – plastic jar with a red cap – it’s a combo of crushed red chilli’s [...]

Blue Cheese, Grape & Walnut Salad

In a bowl, toss the following ingredients:

handfuls of organic mesculan greens (I like the herb blend myself)
crumbled blue cheese
red seedless grapes, cut in half
walnut halves cut a little bit but not too small (Trader Joes has the BEST ones but not easy to get in Canada unless you’ve got a connection!)

And then, toss with Apple [...]

Delicious Salad Dressings

As part of the Healthy Living Plan we’ve been following with great results, there is a call for lots of healthy organic vegetables and for me this means a lot of salads.   And, the vinegar of choice for the plan is Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar – Bragg’s is my very favourite!   It was even recommended on [...]

Banana Split Smoothie

The past few weeks have played havoc on my Healthy Living plan and on my posting to blogs and replying to emails – we recently downsized into a beautiful penthouse condo with a view of the Sooke Hills – what I ate on the run might not have been on Canada’s Food Guide exactly – [...]
