Interesting facts about this month’s Farmers Market “smoothie”: 1. It was meant to be a smoothie but, when I looked at the ingredients, I thought to myself “these would be awesome as a juice”. 2. This is surprising, as I’m not a big juice fan – generally I don’t like to make something if it’s going Read more
I am not one of those people who can miss breakfast. (Actually I’m not fond of missing any meals at all.) If I am ever required to fast for some reason, I am a seriously unhappy camper. Breakfast is right up there with breathing for me, in terms of being crucial to my day. So Read more

Where did ALL THOSE DISHES come from?). And I think to myself, there’s something a Read more

Phew…catching my breath, after a wonderful weekend at the Riverton Heritage Harvest Festival! I went to some great workshops – foraging, making herb teas, reconnecting with nature, and food fermentation. In the past I’ve spent quite a bit of time reconnecting with the nature in my fridge, as I foraged in the murky depths for Read more
