So we’re in the dead of winter, nothing left to come out of the ground, and still I talk about eating local and seasonal? Fortunately most of the fall harvest keeps throughout the winter. Since we don’t all have cold storage in some corner of our apartments, farmers are kind enough to store […]

So it’s the new year and here I am in a new province and new surroundings and a new beginning. An excellent way to start things off exactly the way I would like them to go. I know that might not exactly be the case, but here’s to hoping! I put out […]

I made it! So here I am, all settled in to my new home in Kelowna. Well, almost settled - we’re still waiting on a couch. But getting there. Along with adjusting to a new province and new town, we’re finding the biggest adjustment is the fact that we now live […]

So my big news this week - my husband and I are moving to Kelowna BC at the end of October.  Crazy, I know!  He has a great career opportunity, and I will be living in the land of healthy people.  I won’t have to convince people they should eat whole foods - they just […]

Welcome to our new site! I wanted to provide a space that is more interactive, more user-friendly, and a great place to get lost in all the information that is out there. My friend Ryan (from RJG Creative and theOwen.com) and I came up with this new look – what do you think? You can […]

Fortunately I haven’t written not because I’ve had nothing to say, but because it’s been a busy few months. June 28th was our first Detox Potluck Club dinner, where about 20 people brought 20 different healthy dishes to share. It was received so well we’re having another one on September 12th. See workshops for more […]

Last Tuesday I had the pleasure to me apart of the first of many Wellness Dinners put on by the Wellness Directory at the Rocky Raccoon in Wiarton. This month’s topic was Heart Health, so I followed up Robin’s amazing Heart Healthy buffet with a talk on heart health and nutrition. The response was so […]

Thanks to all that attended the Owen Sound Health Fair today - we had a great turnout and glad to have met some of you. In the sidebar I’ve put the recipe for the St. Patty’s smoothie I made at the fair. It doesn’t have to be for green occasions only - makes a great […]

This month’s theme has been all about detoxing - I’m running two 3-night workshops in Owen Sound and the response has been great. They’re also great for keeping me on track as well! Sharon (from Kinexions) and I also held two information sessions on the Infrared Sauna and how it can be used to increase […]

It’s been a busy January - was on Roger’s Cable again, had our second buffet at the Rocky Raccoon (now at 12 noon for lunch - check out our Immune Foods Buffet on February 4th), and did a presentation at Keppel Sarawak Public School on Children, Learing and Nutrition. Today I was in Tobermory giving […]
