It’s that time of year when I cut and dry all my herbs for winter use. The small-leafed herbs are hung to dry – tied up with twine and hung from coat hangers – but the majority of my harvest meets the heat of the dehydrator. I like that it’s done quickly but still at [...]

Today, Christine was liberated from her own mind. Imagine the freedom! Happy Birthday, Lisa!
The first time I made almond milk was eight years ago. It was relatively easy, and satisfying to make, but it tasted like chalk. It hadn’t occurred to me that my almonds were stale. The maddening thing was, they had been organic almonds purchased, in bulk, at my local health food store. From then on, I decided [...]
This is one of the easiest ways to get the kids to eat their greens. They know it has spinach and they still devour it. Creamy Green Pasta 1 lb of rotini or fusilli pasta (or any pasta with a lot of surface area) 1/2 bunch of spinach or other greens, roughly chopped 1-2 tbsp [...]
I had never made a souffle until just last week. Now I’ve made three. Three different recipes, all savoury, using very different techniques produced three equally good and well-risen souffles; however, each required adjustments as I went, so unfortunately, I have no fool-proof souffle recipe to pass on at this time. What I do have, after [...]

I love eating lasagne, but I hate making it. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve made it – tonight was the fifth – because it’s simply too much work. This recipe is a nice variation; it has the same basic components, but the assembly is much quicker. My herbs are still [...]
It is usually a struggle to get a decent rink made in time for Christmas. We bought a rink kit a few years ago, but without the right kind of weather, it still won’t work. Some years, winter arrives early with a huge dumping of snow in late November, but it’s often just a lot of [...]
This was my first experience making falafels. I didn’t have any tahini, so I made a cucumber-yoghurt sauce, which worked quite well. Falafels 1 cup dried chick peas 1 medium onion, finely chopped 2 tbsp each parsley and cilantro 1 tsp each salt, paprika, cumin, and garlic powder 1/2 tsp chili powder 4-6 tbsp [...]
Our first was born with what some health professionals may have called a “mild deformity”. He had bruising across one side of his face (fine), a flattened ear (common), and a foot that was bent up to his shin. Hmmm. The midwives weren’t concerned; the baby had simply ‘maxed out’ the space given to him in …
