Isn't it the season for pecan pie? I'm thinking it's time to share my recipe with you because I know you'll love it. For the pie crust, I found it at Costco. It's vegan and the brand is called "Pate 2000". If not, any pie crust will do.

Who can resist the delights that Canada offers when autumn begins to settle in?  Yes, we all want summer to last forever but it is inevitable that "winter is coming".  

Here's an easy, fresh and vegan salad recipe that's great for the Summer (or last days of warm weather).  

1. Ca Lem: They have original flavours like COCO PANDA and not to mention all the hype surrounding this brand with their trendy image. 2. Hoché Glacé:  If you fancy a good vegan "McFlurry" or banana slipt, you are in the right place. If you go there, ask for the whirlpool. My favorite flavor is definitely oreo and cookie dough.   3. Swirl: New Ice cream Parlor that's 100% vegan! 4. Dalla Rose:  Located on Notre-Dame West, their hand-made ice cream is definitely worth the detour. Several vegan options including ice cream sandwiches. 5. Wild Willy's:  Located in the West Island and in a small village, this ice cream parlor offers several vegan options. It's definitely worth the detour.    

There are certain aromas that instantly make you think of fresh, clean, and healthy but undoubtedly lemons are at the top of the list.  Citrus just makes you feel better!

Winter is finally over! Make room for long evenings on terraces with friends. Are you looking for a place to spend the evening with friends for dinner or simply have a drink or a dessert ?! I have prepared a list of places to try this summer.

Between morning coffee or tea, breakfast juices, smoothies and cocktails you would think that you are surely getting enough water.  But you need to drink actual water!

I’ve got a confession to make. I really - and I mean really -  don’t deal well with hangovers. Even if I just go out for a couple of glasses of wine with the girls, I pretty much have to wave the next day goodbye. The 3 am migraine kicks in like clockwork. At 8 am nausea comes knocking, putting me straight off my breakfast. By 2 pm, my Saturday is history: full-force sluggishness kicks in, and all I can bring myself to do is sit in front of the TV and, with a cup of green tea in hand, crush an entire season of Friends.

We tend to start thinking about wearing sunscreen when it's hot outside, but it's important to wear sunscreen even in colder or cloudy weather - no matter your skin type. Here's why:

Refresh Botanicals offered to send me their Skincare Line to try it out. Let me tell you it didn't take much convincing. I had tried some of their products before and loved how natural and light they felt on my skin. They are free from harsh chemicals and one of the key ingredients used in their line is organic cucumber!

Last year marked 30 years for myself being meat-free, completely vegan for 19, and when one hears that someone is Vegetarian or Vegan it is a natural assumption that we eat loads of salads and get tons of greens into our daily lives.  Some days yes, some days no.

Probiotic supplementation has become an important part of the daily routine for many people.  Research continues to support the role of probiotics in a variety of preventative measures and intervention strategies, and approval of these health claims by regulatory bodies like Health Canada further speaks to the value these important supplements provide.  But getting the most out of your probioticsupplement requires additional work, especially if you are following a restrictive diet.

Mashed. In a soup. Baked. Fries. In a wrap. Cubed in a southwestern salad.  In a curry.  In a scone. Gnocchi. Burgers. Shepherds pie. Cheesecake. Crumble. Pie. What do all these have in common, miraculously?  Sweet Potatoes!  February’s Vegan Little Life Box presented another lovely option with Owlies by Love Child Organics.  Tasty little spelt cookies infused with sweet potato and ginger.

Spring is approaching and what better way to celebrat than with a lovely smoothie bowl recipe. This one has a hint of cinnamon and tastes like granola.

You don't always have time to eat breakfast? You always leave in a rush in the morning? Well know that skipping breakfast isn't the best idea. Here are some reasons why I strongly encourage you to eat breakfast in the morning
