When the weather turns cool, I gravitate to hot, homemade soup. This recipe is a staple in our house because of its delicious simplicity. It can be enjoyed as-is, or you can bump up the nutrition by adding chopped carrots and celery before cooking. Wild rice (no relation to white or brown rice) has a… Continue reading Curried Lentil and Wild Rice Soup
As a holistic nutritionist who specializes in plant-based eating and as a healthy living advisor and educator at a large health food store, I am asked about veganism. When I was recently invited to write a guest post on the Goodness Me! blog, I decided to address the basics of what I’d like a new… Continue reading Going Vegan – The Basics
There are many commercial non-dairy yogurts available, but they generally have a long list of ingredients. I’ve been wanting to make my own for a long time, but it was one of those things I’d never got around to. Honestly, I was intimidated. I had no idea it could be so simple. If you love (or… Continue reading Cashew Yogurt

I’ll admit, even my youngest was willing to become vegetarian/vegan as long as he could still eat bacon on occasion. (That’s no longer an issue, thanks to coconut bacon.) I… Continue reading Coconut Bacon

I was looking for a super-quick gluten-free option and found this recipe. I’ve adapted it slightly to make it a little more user-friendly. We often top it with… Continue reading Coconut Flatbread
Most mornings in our house begin with a smoothie. My husband leaves early on weekdays, so he makes his own and the poor guy misses out on the wonderful creations I make with the boys. K (age 7) loves to be my smoothie co-creator and is now great at helping me tweak a new flavour. He’s… Continue reading Green Vanilla Chai Smoothie
