I am enjoying this part of the “vegetable and fruit season” in Quebec. More and more produce is slowly coming into season, which means there is more of a variety of foods in my diet! I am especially looking forward to when the peppers will be available at our local farm. I am impatiently waiting. I ... Read More about Project Green Foot- Week 45 and 46
Coconut Donut Holes
I have been in a major snacking mood lately. I enjoy all sorts of nuts and I am always looking for ways to change up my snacking routine. Brazil nuts are a great way to get your selenium intake daily. I try to have 2 brazil nuts a day, but they are not my favorite tasting nut. However, when I mixed ...

Chocolate Oat Smoothie
I usually don't make my smoothies very thick. I tend to like them on the thin side. But for some reason, I thought it would be a grande idea to add oats to my morning smoothie to change it up. I must admit it was a really great idea. The smoothie was so thick, jus like a milkshake, and everyone ... Read More about Chocolate Oat Smoothie

How to Grow Dinosaur Kale
Last year in early spring, while others were still shivering from 30-degree temps, I bundled up and headed out to my local nursery to find some plants for a local T.V show appearance. The T.V show appearance featured plants you can plant in a spring container. From the moment my eye first landed on ... Read More about How to Grow Dinosaur Kale
Misessence Conditioner
About a year ago, I decided to ditch the conventional shampoo and conditioner and experiment with “no-pooing.” I have not looked back since, but, like those who have implemented the “no-poo” method probably already know all too well, it can leave your hair dry. So- what does a green gal like myself ... Read More about Misessence Conditioner
Project Green Foot- Week 43
Last week, I told you about the gem of a farm I found about an hour from my place, Runaway Creek Farm. Since J.P was on vacation last week he volunteered to visit the farm with me. I really wanted him to meet the owners and see for himself how beautiful the farm is. J.P. was impressed with how ... Read More about Project Green Foot- Week 43
