Happy St Patrick's Day! This is my favourite "non holiday season" celebration of the year, not just because I am part Irish (yes, I am a McDermott and an O'Sullivan), but because the entire world goes green with food! Yippppeeee! I thought long and hard about what special "green" recipe I was going to share to pay homage this year, and I decided on this raw, alkaline, sugar-free, cancer-friendly, diabetic-friendly mint pudding that Scott and other acutely ill patients could enjoy.  I have received literally hundreds of emails from readers and listeners who have read our cancer story, or listened to The pH Miracle, who have asked for help and support with recipes to aid their transition into a more alkaline lifestyle. I am going to... Keep Reading

This almond milk kefir strawberry smoothie is one of my favourite kefir smoothies, and was a lifesaver for me when I was transitioning from stage one of The Body Ecology Diet. Yesterday, I posted my super easy recipe for raw almond milk kefir. and shared how including this plant based kefir, along with coconut water kefir, cultured coconut pudding, and fermented vegetables help to rebalance my inner eco system and restore my optimum health and vitality.

Not only is this vegan kefir smoothie loaded with healthy probiotics and plant based nutrients, it is gluten free, dairy free, egg free, soy free, and sugar free, and tastes absolutely spectacular. This smoothie is also perfect... Keep Reading

Are you including probiotic-rich foods in your diet? Including coconut water kefir, cultured vegetables, and this raw almond milk kefir have helped enormously to rebalance my inner eco-system, and restore my health and vitality. I wrote about many of these ideas in my how to section when I started the site a few years ago. But, it has been remiss of me not to have posted these very important recipes here on the blog. I will share these recipes in the next couple of months.   Those of you who have been following me for a while would be familiar with my life-long battle with candida. You can read more about my personal story here. But, just briefly, I had tried every anti-candida diet known to man, and nothing really worked until I... Keep Reading

Today, I want to share one of the most exotic mango smoothie recipes I have tasted. "Curry Smoothie???" I hear you say. Please stay open minded, because this mango coconut curry green smoothie is a walk on the wild side. This recipe was inspired by a creative blend I tried from Brendan Brazier's fabulous THRIVE FOODS book. He shared a coconut mango smoothie and added yellow curry powder for it's anti-inflammatory properties. I have been adding chili peppers and cayenne pepper to my smoothies for many years. But, I had never tried adding curry powder to a smoothie. I was intrigued, to say the least. So, I fired up my Vitamix and was pleasantly surprised by the burst of flavours. I decided to create my own version to honour Brendan and... Keep Reading

Those of you who read my green milk post would remember the miraculous results Dr Young is witnessing by including liquid chlorophyll into an... Keep Reading

Happy Sunday. I had a fabulous brunch today with my friends Elise Bauer from Simply Recipes, and Amber Stott of Awake At The Whisk, and founder of California Food Literacy.
