What’s For Breakfast? Try a Delicious Bowl of Nectarine Pudding
A nutritious, balanced breakfast is a great way to start your day – it gives you the energy you need to be energetic and productive through the morning. Strangely, almost 40% of adults regularly skip breakfast. Trying to lose weight, too busy to prepare anything, nothing in the house… – these are just some of the reasons people give for not eating breakfast.

My family and I just got back from a two-week long summer vacation. It was fantastic! We spent several days camping at Glacier National Park – did some hiking, went white-water rafting… Continued on to Yellowstone, where we camped just outside the park, and drove around the park for a few days, stopping for every scenic loop, boardwalk, and short hike.

Read MoreGourmet Raw Food with Robyn Unrau
I recently attended a two-day Gourmet Raw Food workshop given by Robyn Unrau, of RAW Fernie. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but during the course we enjoyed incredibly delicious raw meals (three each day), and by the end of the course I had learned how to create these meals at home, and felt inspired to live a healthier lifestyle. The first day began with Robyn, the other students and me sitting down to a delicious raw breakfast – milk and cereal, accompanied by fresh bread and raspberry jam.

It’s Easter, and chocolate bunnies abound in every grocery store. If you’re feeling tempted, consider instead treating yourself to this incredibly rich, dense chocolate brownie. I served them after Easter dinner last night to my extended family, and everybody raved over them. One special thing about these brownies is that they are gluten-free (containing no grains of any sort), and lactose-free, making them a wonderful treat to serve your friends and family who are on restricted diets. Brownies (makes 16 brownies): What you need: – a food processor – a hand-held...
