We never fully understood this quote until my son got sick enough for us to notice, and we had some pretty big blinders on. This blog is a place of confession… a place where we can share our frustration, our disappointments, but mostly our success and transformation as we reconnect with food and the health it can bring us. With a little patience, a lot of research and even more love these recipes have healed our son and brought health to our family.

Oh my yumminess, this cherimoya tastes like custard! So smooth and sweet. Have you ever tried it? . My kids actually begged me to go to the store to buy more after they tried it. We totally need to move to a tropical country 😋 No but for real I love exposing my kids too various fruits and veggies. It expands their palate with the added bonus of increasing vitamins and minerals. I always give a back story to the new food or make it exciting for them so they are more likely to try it. It helps if the new food looks crazy, like this cherimoya ot a dragonfruit! . Check out my blog post for more tips on healthy eating and picky kids (link in bio) . Oh and happy #fathersday for all those daddios out there! . . . . . . . #healthykids #cherimoya #raisinghealthykids #raisinghealthyeaters #veganrecipes #plantstrong #plantbasedrecipe #summer #hotdays #plantbasedfamily #veganfoodshare #foodshare #foodforthought #foodismedicine #eattherainbow #eatyourfruits #gentleparenting

What toppings do you like in your buddah bowls?? Today we tried a new one. Roasted beets!!! . I have been following along with @mamaeatsplants and @stevieyaaaay on their #yayforearthchallenge. So far their meals have been 👌! This quinoa bowl was a big hit. I changed up the quinoa for rice for my kids and made a sweeter sauce but us big kids enjoyed the recipe as is and even had a few helpings! Delish! Check them out for the recipe or better yet follow along. . . . . . . . #quinoabowls #quinoa #beets #veganrecipes #plantbasedkids #plantstrong #plantshaveprotein #eatyourveggies #vegandinner #veganlunch #wfpb #zerowastefood #veganbowls #buddahbowls #igfoodie #f52grams #hautecuisines #glowlean #foodismedicine #heresmyfood
How do you deal with the Monday blues! A good smoothie bowl with all the fixings sure helps! . I always make myself and the kids a monster smoothie (as they call it) after my daily workout but lately we have wanted a bit of a chance. A great change up is to make a smoothie bowl Instead. Just use less water and more frozen fruit. I love smoothies because it's an easy way to get some good nutrients I to my kiddos. . This bowl was made with frozen acai, bananas and mangoes. The dark color was from adding a bit of spirlina. I also added @gardenoflifecanada protein and some beet powder. Then I topped it with some fresh fruits and homemade granola . . . M U C H .

👋 friends! We are heading to a music, craft beer, and food truck festival today! Happy Saturday right!!! However being vegan and gluten free (my son) still applies when we are out soooooo as much as the food trucks look amazing I always bring food just in case. It ended up that there were some options for us but not many That's ok because I'm here for the music and 🍻 anyways!! . That's another tip for being successful when eating out. Being food because you just never know. These snack took 10 minutes to prep and will totally be handy when my kids are hungry and cranky. Hope you are enjoying your Saturday! . . . M U C H .

👋 friends... well It seems like summer came and went here in good old Toronto! Its fall weather now, so my buddah bowl post expired because we were all craving a hearty warm lemony bowl of lentils tonight! Such a quick and easy recipe adapted from @amychaplin. . . Ingredients 1 white onion, chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 3 medium carrots, diced 1 cup red lentils 1/2 cup brown lentils 2 cups veggie broth 2 cups water 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp turmeric Salt and pepper to taste Juice of 1 lemon . 1. In a medium saucepan sautee the onions and garlic in 1/4 cup of the veggie broth until translucent. Then add in the spices and cook until fragrant. 2. Add in the carrots and lentils and cook for about 1 minute before adding in the water and remaining stock. 3. Cook until lentils are soft and tender. Mix in the lemon juice and serve. 4. Enjoy over some steamed rice or on it's own as a soup (you may need to add a bit more water for soup). Also great topped with some sliced avocado . . . M U C H .
