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!

Cabbage (or Broccoli) Delight
[Ah, if only I were truly still enjoying my salad days . . . in reality, I am firmly ensconced smack-dab in the middle of my “main course” days. But you can enjoy this salad at any age!] Now that summer is undeniably underway in these parts (nothing spells “summer” quite like a week of temperatures soaring beyond 33C/92F), heavy duty […]
Raw Linguine with Bolognese Sauce and Hemp Parmesan
[Zucchini Pasta Bolognese–hearty and delicious] Dealing with all the exigencies of the anti candida diet (ACD) can really be a challenge. After more than a year without sugars (sniff, boo hoo), most fruits (miss ya, mangoes!), gluten (you were overrated anyway), yeasts (nooch! nooch!), fungi (bye, bye, portobello steaks) or anything else fermented (thank God you […]
