This is a photo of my family taken in June of this year by the incredible Rita Kravchuk. If there is one piece of advice I can give to new parents, its take lots and lots of pictures and videos of your children & family. Time passes in the blink of an eye and if you don’t capture the moments they are gone forever and you can’t go back in time.
Having a hard time getting your kids to eat their vegetables? Not anymore! This simple and delicious coleslaw will even have Lachanophobians wanting more.
Thank you President’s Choice for making my life so much easier! Need some veggies in a hurry? No washing, no chopping, no fuss. Just open up a bag of PC’s Fresh Cut Washed Slaw, mix with your favourite dressing and “Bob’s your uncle”!
Do you know where that phrase came from? You do now.
I dare you to compare this Soy Free plant based mayonnaise by Earth Island to your regular mayonnaise. Ok, maybe if you just had the mayo on its own you would notice the difference, but not if it’s on something.
This vegan mayonnaise can be used in any recipe as a substitute for regular mayo. It is just as thick and creamy as regular mayo and it has a nice tang to it too.
My 2.5 year old loves it and asks for more “sauce”. He certainly comes by it naturally because his daddy loves his sauces!
Go on, try it. I double dog dare you!
What first came to mind when you saw this mouthwatering dish? I bet it wasn’t “Oh, this must be vegan/vegetarian!” These manly mushrooms will satisfy even the biggest steak-lovers cravings. The mouthfeel is just like a piece of steak and the marinade puts it over the top. Trust me, if you want to add a vegan/vegetarian meal to your weekly menu rotation, this is the quickest and tastiest.
One important thing to note in this recipe is to buy organic mushrooms! Actually every ingredient in all of my recipes are intended to be organic, so, for the best results buy organic. Yes it is expensive, but can you put a price tag on your health?
I would give anything to go back in time and eat healthier if it meant not getting Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). I don’t mean to be preachy, just trust me on this one. Anyway, here’s what Mercola.com had to say about the benefits and cautions of eating mushrooms. (I can just see some of you smirking right now)
Wait, Stop! Don’t call 911! I was shot today, but it’s not what you think, it was with cortisone. This is the second time I’ve had cortisone shots in my fingers. The last time I had them done was January 30th of this year and the shots were done to my left pinky and middle finger and my right middle finger. I must admit, they hurt like a SOB, but honestly, my fingers were so swollen, hot and painful because of the Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) that I was willing to try anything. It was so bad that I was actually getting trigger finger (also known as stenosing tenosynovitis (stuh-NO-sing ten-o-sin-o-VIE-tis)).
Yep, that’s me, then (Sept 2011) and weighing in at a whopping 200 lbs, and now (June 2014) at 130 lbs with the birthday boy Luke who just turned 1 this week. I remember exactly how I felt that day in September – terrible! It was my best friend’s wedding and I had tipped the scales and was now at my heaviest. It should have been a joyous occasion, standing in the wedding party, but all I could think of was how fat I felt and looked. This picture is a rarity. It took me forever to find one from that period of my life, because I never let anyone take any pictures of me, hence the poor quality.
