I don’t know about you, but hummus seems to make everything taste extra delicious. Here is a recipe I whipped up last night, and I used the leftover ingredients for my salad for lunch today.
But first, a tangent. This recipe is really high in fiber, which is essential for intestinal health. The [...]
I am excited to announce that I have decided to take over the food photography part of the Serendipitous Vegan! My amazing photographer husband did an excellent job, so I am putting myself in the student role and learning how to take my own pictures and start some food styling. Excited! I am really looking [...]
How many times have you purchased a beautiful bunch of kale/chard/spinach/cilantro, only to discover that it has wilted pretty much as soon as you put it in the fridge? Ahh, so annoying! At that point it is hardly useable, and usually gets thrown into a soup or something. We’ve started to pack away [...]
Time for some winter citrus! Grapefruits are awesome liver-supporting fruits that are also low-glycemic. I rummaged through my old magazines and found this recipe in the January 2009 edition of Vegetarian Times. I made a few modifications, but I am sure the recipe would taste great either way.

Hi folks! I must apologize for the lack of posting lately! I have a multitude of excuses lined up: school, work, exercise, fatigue, and a bit of a cold. Oh, and my latest homeopathic remedies… man are they powerful! Pretty sure I felt like spending (and probably succeeded) the majority of my time in bed [...]
Just thought I would share with you a couple of items celebrating the left and right sides of the brain! Every day we take for granted the amazing interworkings of our body. The brain is an amazing example of how the mind and body are so interconnected. Below is a TED Talk by Jill Bolte Taylor, a brain [...]
I am quite excited as I just started on my nutritional case studies recently! They are going to be invaluable as I head towards becoming a Holistic Nutritionist. One thing I know people have difficulty with is feeling like heathy eating is expensive. This can definitely be true, but you can work around it. And [...]
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! Hope you had a wonderful and relaxing day yesterday, surrounded by friends, family and loved ones. We spent the day filling our tummies with a delicious breakfast, opened presents, and then went for a three hour hike by my parents’ house in Kelowna, BC. After a very filling [...]
