Remember how, last week, I mentioned that I seem to be adopting some of the HH’s less-than-enviable habits? Well, this past week, it got even worse: our anniversary came and went*, and neither one of us remembered! (Such behavior would not be unusual for the HH, who would likely never acknowledge anniversaries, birthdays, or holidays if […]

Outrageously Decadent Chocolate-Hazelnut Ice Cream (No Ice Cream Maker Required!)
* Or, How I Waited Until the Very Last Possible Moment to Make Ice Cream There are some people (I won’t mention any names) who simply like to leave things to the last minute. Like, for instance, when they (who shall not be named) promise to mow the lawn over the weekend, and then suddenly […]
Flash in the Pan: Fresh Plum Sauce* or Topping
*no relation to that unctuous, ochre tinted, replete-with-chemical-ingredients-and-refined-sugar gel you get in little packets next to your egg rolls. [Sometimes, you just want to eat something now. I’ve decided to offer a mini-post every once in a while, for a dish that comes together incredibly quickly or else is so easy to make that no recipe […]
SOS Apples: Greens with Roasted Beet, Apple and Almond Feta
After the excesses** of the recent long weekend here in Toronto, I felt the need for something more ascetic. I was craving something light, clean and (yes) green: a salad!

A hydrogen atom walks into a bar. He turns to the bartender and says, “I think I’ve lost an electron!”. The bartender replies, “Are you positive?” [source: my Biochemistry prof at CSNN] Ba-DUM-pa! Yes, indeedy, I am a lover of corny jokes. I giggle uncontrollably when I hear a good one, I hoard them for […]
Sugar-free, Dairy-free, Candida-friendly “Notella” (Chocolate Hazelnut Spread)
[Just look at that icy, smooth surface. . . dig in!] The Nutty Part: Ever since I created that Walnut-Cacao Nib Butter a while back, I’ve gone all-out nutty. Seems a day cannot go by without my consuming some form of nut butter. I had already been enjoying nuts on this ACD (one of the […]
Vegan Overnight Oats (Anti Candida Incarnation)
[Just look at that peachy color! ] Don’t you just hate it when your regular routine is disrupted? Well, maybe it’s just me. As a Libra, I tend to be perhaps a little too attached to routine consistency boredom equilibrium in my life (Libra is represented by the scales, after all). When the calm of a […]
Layered Mexican Casserole*
*Or, ACD-Friendly Fast Food. Or, Intercultural Lasagna. Or, What to Do with those Nearly-Stale Nacho Chips. Even though these days it takes me almost 15 minutes before I can stand up fully erect after first rolling out of bed (in which I sleep on my back, with 2 pillows under my knees so my spine can retain its proper […]
Flash in the Pan: Freshly Dressed and Saucy

Here’s today’s “Flash in the Pan.” (For other FitP recipes, see “Categories” at right).] [Uber creamy–with […]
Gena’s Raw (Bean Free) Broccoli Hummus
In case you haven’t noticed, we Canadians are pretty obsessed with the weather. It rules our schedules, our wardrobes and our moods. Wake up to sunny skies and 26C (79 F), as we did a couple of weeks ago, and it’s going to be a good day. Wake up to glum, sodden skies, and that […]
