After seeing how popular my Chocolate Coconut Butter was, I decided to incorporate it into another recipe. Please don't mind the dog poop looking picture. I tried. I really tried to get a good shot. Surprisingly,this was the best one, and you all thought I was a professional photographer? First, ... Read More about Chocolate Coconut Bites
Project Green Foot- Week 40
When I first began shopping at La Moisson, the natural food store near my house, it always bothered me that they repackaged their food in plastic bags. I have asked on a few occasions to why they use this method, but nobody could ever give me a straight answer. They always looked at me with a blank ... Read More about Project Green Foot- Week 40
6 Ways to Conserve Energy in the Summer
I remember while growing up, every time we left the front door open my mom would yell “We are not heating the whole street- close the door” or “do we live in a barn?” If we opened the fridge door too long, she would say something along the lines of “Are you waiting for the light to burn out?” Of ...

Coconut Bok Choy Smoothie
Bok choy in a smoothie? Had I not tried my own, I would have thought it was a bad idea. Last week-end, I visited a small organic farm and they had lots of leafy greens including bok choy. I have received bok choy in my CSA baskets in the past, but just randomly put it in my smoothies without a ... Read More about Coconut Bok Choy Smoothie

Project Green Foot- Week 39
I have mentioned in the past that there are not really any bulk stores in and around where we live, (at least not that I have found) to purchase nuts, seeds and dried fruit, which are all such a large part of our diet. I was lucky enough to find PranaBio, who sells all the good stuff that I need! I ... Read More about Project Green Foot- Week 39
Chocolate Coconut Butter Spread
Recently, we ordered a large amount of nuts, and dried fruit and such in bulk from a local company in Montreal. While living in Texas, access to bulk items at Whole Foods was so easy, but there is sadly nothing like that here in Montreal that I can find. It actually worked out because a local ...

Composting 101- Learn How to Compost
Shawna Coronando is back this week sharing her composting wisdom. I just adore her, and the fact that she oozes green, and has the most wonderful and upbeat personality- you can't help, but love her! The only thing I do applaude is that she donates some of her produce to her local food pantry when ... Read More about Composting 101- Learn How to Compost
Project Green Foot- Week 38
This past week was most definitely bitter sweet! I am excited we are now closer to friends and family, but I am sad that our little American adventure has come to an end. We have spent the last 3 years living in the US, and have enjoyed every minute of it. I guess all good things must come to an ... Read More about Project Green Foot- Week 38
Watermelon Orange Smoothie
Since we are moving tomorrow, I have turned into a smoothie queen over the past week. Throwing pretty much everything I could get my hands on into my Blendtec to make sure I do not waste any food before we leave. Some concoctions were very tasty, and others were pretty nasty. I thought I would share ... Read More about Watermelon Orange Smoothie
