What is PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)?
P.C.O.S. It’s a simple acronym for a complicated medical condition. If you’re a follower at my former blog (me. myself. and food) this is likely not the first time you’ve encountered these four letters. PCOS is a health condition that is top of mind for me,...
Why you shouldn’t compare yourself to other moms
I live in Leslieville, a popular neighbourhood in the southeast corner of downtown Toronto – an area which deserves to be called “Strollerville”. If you live here or have been here, you know why I say that. There are strollers and babies and...Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce
While my husband is leisurely strolling the streets of Greece with his camera in one hand and a souvlaki in the other, I’m stuck (I mean ‘I’m happily’) at home with my tantrum-throwing toddler in one arm, and my 20 minute napping baby in the...Black Bean Brownie “Birthday Cake”

Some kids LOVE avocado, and some kids will do anything to avoid it. If your little one is a picky eater, you’re in for a (healthy) treat today. And so are they! Avocado is a great food (actually it’s one of the best) if you worry about your child’s...
Homemade Dairy-Free Formula (with Hemp Milk)
Milk. It does a body good. But does it do as much “good” as we think? Giving our children milk after their first birthday is a nutrition protocol that many parents follow. And understandably so. Milk supplies the calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B12, protein,...Mango, Black Bean & Avocado Salad
Kudos to all the single moms out there. I’ve been getting a taste of what life would be like as a single mom with two kids and it is tough (HUGE understatement). Here’s the detail that I neglected to mention for fear of being judged…I have only...
