Asparagus & Radish Mung Bean Salad with Nasturtium

Asparagus & Radish Mung Bean Salad with Nasturtium

Spring produce is finally here, and I for one am so excited to finally have the opportunity to eat lots of different fresh foods. At our farmers market, there is one vendor that specializes in asparagus. It isn't commonly grown in Alberta, so I'm happy that Edgar Farms has taken on the task! My partner and I picked up a huge bag of their asparagus ...

Black Rice Noodle & Mushroom Bowl

Black Rice Noodle & Mushroom Bowl

What a treat it is to have mushrooms! Our farmers market doesn't offer mushrooms, period. I once went to a farmers market in Brampton that offered an amazing selection - portobello, oyster, lion's mane, enoki, maitake, chantrelle, morels, etc. Some of these mushrooms are so powerful in their healing abilities that health food stores sell them ...

Red Cabbage Nachos with Salsa, Spiced Lentils, & Avocado Sour Cream

On New Year's Eve I was chatting with one of my good friends, Kerry. She lives in Halifax, a three hour time difference from here in Edmonton. As you can imagine we don't get to see each other very often. When she asked me to create a healthy nacho recipe for her, I immediately accepted the challenge. Over the next few days, I pondered ways to ...

Immune Strengthening Soup

Immune Strengthening Soup

After almost an entire year of good health, I came down with a cold only two days after arriving back in Canada from our vacation. For a week I took all sorts of supplements in an effort to kill the bug, boost my immune system, and fight it off. I took everything from medicinal mushrooms and herbal tinctures, to sulforaphane and Vitamin D. And it ...
