The pH Miracle audiobook continues to sell like alkaline hotcakes since Scott and I announced it on Facebook last week. In case you missed Scott's story, you can read or listen to his incredible journey with cancer here. You can also read my more humourous account of how we came to narrate Dr Young's book here. We will begin recording the second book in the series some time in the next couple of months. I can't wait! It really has been quite a magical journey the last six months, and we are so grateful for our loyal readers and listeners, as well as the unwavering love and support from our beloved friends and family, who embraced our seemingly bizarre "green" liquid lifestyle with gusto and enthusiasm -- proving to be a glorious (and...

So, as promised, here is one of my all-time favourite alkaline dishes that ANYBODY can prepare in less than 15 minutes.

Those of you who have been following me for a while would be familiar with my tabouli obsession. I have honestly... 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. This is one of my favourite body ecology friendly recipes. 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

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Scott and I had a SPECTACULAR thanksgiving week in NYC. I had intended to post recipes last week, but the wifi in our building in NYC wasn't working, and alas, I had to keep playing instead of working. It was a hardship. LOL! Here's a recap.. We enjoyed a SENSATIONAL gluten free, vegan, thanksgiving lunch at Candle 79. The food was absolutely exquisite, (as usual) and an added bonus was seeing my beautiful friends JL and Gena from JL Goes Vegan and Choosing Raw enjoying the sumptious plant based feast! We then took a lovely stroll through the streets of Manhatten looking at the pretty Christmas lights, before meeting up with our dear friends from Australia, Kat and Wayne, for a Japanese banquet...

Well, Thanksgiving is in three days, and we are all planning our holiday menus. Scott and I are spending Thanksgiving in NYC with our dear friends Kat and Wayne. We are all attending the famous Candle 79 Vegan Thanksgiving feast, and we are SO excited! So, here is my last Thanksgiving recipe for this year, and I wanted to celebrate Way Better Snacks today! As I posted last week, I am thrilled to be one of their new Brand Ambassadors. Way Better Snacks are seriously the best tortilla chips I have ever tasted! AND they only use sprouted, NON-GMO, natural ingredients that are Gluten Free, Kosher, and free of additives and preservatives. Now these chips are fabulous as a snack on their own, served with homemade dips and spreads, or as... Keep Reading
I threw this simple alkaline vegan holiday dish together last Christmas with some simple fresh ingredients that were on hand at the house, and the results were spectacular. The dish was a huge hit, and I have been saving them to share for these holidays! I served these at our Thanksgiving potluck last weekend and they were a sensation. Instead of using canned soup, cream, butter or other toxic flavourings you find in so many holiday green bean dishes, this recipe is light with a refreshing tang. The delicious aroma when you sauté the garlic, almonds, and lemon juice makes you salivate, and I have been caught eating the mixture off the wooden spoon before it even reaches the green beans! You really could serve that as a side topping,... Keep Reading
No self-respecting Thanksgiving dinner is complete without a truckload of delicious creamy mashed potatoes. I absolutely love them! It is a special treat for me, as I don’t eat potatoes on a daily, or even a weekly basis. Following a mostly alkaline vegan diet, and being susceptible to candida, I eat them sparingly. When I do eat potatoes, I always eat red skinned potatoes, the only potatoes allowed on the Body Ecology Diet, an anti-candida immune boosting regime that successfully helped me rid myself of years of overgrowth of yeast. So, for those of you “B.E” folks this recipe is for you! Instead of using tons of cream and butter, or even vegan butter spread like Earth Balance (which IS fantastic with potatoes by the way) I prefer... Keep Reading
