It’s Friday Night – Try a Spinach Frittata for Supper
It’s Friday night – finally – and, when it comes right down to it, all you really want to do is collapse on the couch with a drink and something yummy and watch TV. Instead of a massive serving of nachos with cheese and salsa, why not spend a few minutes more making a dinner that’s not only quick, easy, and inexpensive, but is also delicious AND nutritious! My recommendation – a Spinach Frittata with Red Pepper and Feta Cheese, with whole wheat toast and a green salad. Red peppers are a rich source of such nutrients as Vitamin A and Vitamin C, both powerful antioxidants, and Vitamin B6 and...
Read MoreProduct Recommendation – MEC Cycling Shoe Covers
Today was yet another cold day for cycling in to work. I was recently given some Shoe Covers to wear over my hiking boots as a gift, and this morning I decided to give them a try. I give them an enthusiastic two thumbs up – my toes were toasty warm the whole way this morning, and again this evening! Toes and fingers are the hardest things to keep warm when cycling in temperatures of -20C or colder. I’ve been using re-heatable ‘pocket warmers’ in my mitts to keep my fingers warm, but hadn’t come up with anything for my toes until today. I almost wish winter would...

Read MoreEvery Day Yoga – Five Minutes, Five Postures
It’s generally agreed that a regular yoga practice can keep your body limber, flexible, and pain-free, as well as preventing injuries. It’s also pretty widely recognized that life is busy, and it can be hard to find the time to do everything that you know you should do to be healthy (get enough sleep, eat well, get fresh air and exercise, have fun with friends and family…). So, I’ve given careful thought to where we need the most work (knees, hips, lower back, shoulders, and neck is what I came up with), and what yoga poses are particularly good for those parts of the...
Read MoreFresh Juices – Elixir of the Gods
I recently spent several days at a raw food retreat, and was served amazing gourmet raw foods. Delicious, healthy, and inspirational, all things considered. The primary inspiration I came home with was to dig out my juicer (yes, I occasionally get enthusiastic about health fads, and buy the appropriate tools) and start using it again. Regularly. Which prompted me to de-clutter my kitchen counter, so that there would be a place for my juicer to live, so that I would be more likely to use it. So, now I have a lovely, tidy, clutter-free kitchen, and have been enjoying delicious juices on a...
