There is this fantastic magazine in Ontario provided by the LCBO called Food and Drink , and every now and again I find an amazing recipe that I’m able to “health-ify” and then share with you! This great chicken recipe was in the Summer 2010 issue. Here is what I did with it: Leek, Chicken [...]

I’m so excited for the Second Annual Passover Challenge. Last year was a blast! O.K, fine maybe blast is not the right word- but Team Passover Challenge reported the following benefits: Weight Loss. Better Sleep. More Energy. Improvement in Skin. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE JEWISH TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS CHALLENGE! Many thousands of [...]

For Christmas I got a subscription to Martha Stewart Everyday Magazine. (Thank-you Marcie!). I love it because it’s a small book that’s filled with seasonal recipes. Martha’s recipes are normally really simple and really good but generally I have to make a change here or there to ‘health-a-fy’ it. But having new ideas and recipes [...]

absolutely love Greek food. When I go out for Greek, I know I can keep it healthy without compromising on taste! It’s my little friend Tzatziki that makes it all o.k. Tzatziki is made with yogurt instead of heavy cream! It’s filled with dill, garlic and sometimes cucumber! Everyone makes it a bit different, but [...]
