I have a mushroom soup recipe on here already but that’s more of a fluffy light tasting soup for the summertime and this is more of a strong tasting and hearty soup for the winter. I’ve been so busy for the last few months that I started to lose touch with myself and my interests […]
Amaranth is the powerhouse of all ancient grains (pseudograin), and a highly underused one at that. Not only is it a complete protein but rich in fibre, antioxidants and minerals such as manganese, magnesium, phosphorus and iron. I’m kicking myself for avoiding grains for so many years knowing the benefits now but it’s never too […]
There’s a full moon tonight. Today, I have felt the wrath of people who are “lunatics” so to speak. My emotional status is at about a 1 out of 10. I usually keep this stuff pretty vague but let me tell you what happened. I was driving to work out in the West end of […]
I would love to start a trend where we stop calling vegan bowls “Buddha Bowls” because I’m pretty sure if you asked a buddhist what a buddha bowl is, they would give you a non-confrontational confused look. Here is one version of a balanced bowl you can start with if you’ve never made one.
This has been a long time coming… You will now be able to find me on all social media under the handle @loveofmangoes I have been studying Holistic Nutrition at the Edison Institute since December and I’ve learned a lot about nutrition in the short amount of time that I’ve spent with them.

If I could just sit at my desk with incense, coffee, my growing rock collection and all my little plant babies every day I’d be okay with that. Sssoooooooo I was watching Ugly Delicious on Netflix this week and blacked out and ordered cookbooks on Amazon so I’m pretty fired up about “How to Cook […]
I’ve only had my juicer for a short while but I pretty quickly figured out that it’s difficult to have one standard recipe for anything with juicer pulp because the moisture remaining depends on the brand of juicer as well as the vegetable being juiced. Luckily I figured out how to make crackers that you […]
Cutting out nightshades has not been going so well, needless to say. I didn’t have tomatoes or peppers or potatoes all week and then on Friday I was feeling frisky so I ate a tomato sauce my friends made and it’s kind of been a montage of me eating tomatoes in every possible way since then. I’ve […]
Anyone else have a geographic tongue? I was having an amazing Yellowfin Tuna salad last night at a restaurant downtown Edmonton and I couldn’t finish it because my mouth was BURNING. While I usually end up getting salads, or sushi, or rice bowls at restaurants, I still end up regretting it somehow! Through and through, […]
“If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere” – Vincent van Gogh I always notice that quote on my tea bag when I’m drinking Traditional Medicinals. It stands out to me for how true it is. Every day when I’m driving home from work I have to try not to stare at the […]
