Making Peace with Spring Colds. It’s definitely spring in our part of the world, and along with daffodils, primulas and signals that the mythical Bunny made its annual appearance, the big giveaway is the number of lingering head colds plaguing friends and neighbours. It’s that cold. Starts out as a small sniffle or tickle in [...]
Do you ever have the feeling that somehow things are magically working out in your favour? I set a goal in 2012 to come up with a handful of killer desserts that would qualify as ‘clean’ by my definition. Meaning gluten and dairy -free, without cane sugar, and mouthwateringly delicious.

What’s a little meat loaf among friends? For me, it turned out to be part of a new style of collaborating, planning and dreaming. I declare 2013 as The Year of Living a Happy Life From the Heart. I know, right? Sounds sappy, but admit it – the idea makes your great big heart race [...]

I don’t know about you, but I find November kind of a dreary month. Where I live it is wet and cold, with a time change thrown in that makes for long, dark evenings. Not that I’m complaining – (okay, well maybe just a teensy bit of whining) – because there is a bright side. [...]
Besides cosy sweaters, the crackle of leaves underfoot and the blissful snuggles under the covers on foggy autumn mornings, Fall brings with it bushels and bushels of beautiful tart, crisp, crunchy sweet apples. This means everything from pies to applesauce are on the menu. Yippee! Although, this poses a bit of a challenge for those [...]
French Macaroni Gratin The Kitchen has set up temporary digs in the beautiful mountainscape of Whistler BC. I’m taking a couple of days of autumn quiet to prep for this weekend’s Pathways to Leadership retreat. You know how when you are about do something – well – something kind of biggish - and you want to be in really [...]
