This Carob Coconut Bark is rich and creamy, with a texture very much like chocolate. It’s sugar-free, gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, egg free, soy-free, yeast-free, and vegan. Suitable for any stage on an anti-candida diet. There seem to be two schools of thought when it comes to carob. The first one says it’s a great substitute for chocolate […]

With vacation season upon us, more and more of you will be leaving home to travel. But what happens to your special diet when you’re away from home? In today’s Candida Corner video, I talk about how to stick within your dietary boundaries and still enjoy a hearty breakfast on the road. Here are some […]
Butter Lettuce Wedges with Sunflower Seed Dressing, Pears & Tempeh Bacon from Crave, Eat, Heal
What a treat I have for you all today! As regular readers know, I have a lot of cookbooks. These days, in fact, I rarely accept offers for new books to review (not because I don’t want to, but because there just aren’t enough hours in the day!). But when Annie Oliverio’s new volume, Crave, […]
35+ Brunch Ideas for Mother’s Day
It’s almost Mother’s Day! Will you be celebrating this Sunday? While while the kitchen is no longer the sole domain of “Mother” nowadays, I bet she’d still love a break from cooking on her special day. Why not prepare one of these special recipes for your beloved Mama, and show her how much you care? […]
Lemon Cream Tarts (Vegan, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Grain-Free and Sugar-Free)
For many people who’ve lost their moms, Mother’s Day can be a melancholy experience. Like spending New Year’s Eve on your own, or being the only girl in your group of friends without a boyfriend to take to the prom (thank you, HS, for stepping up to the plate even though we hardly knew each other), […]
Eggplant and Chickpea Spread
In my late teens and early twenties, I spent summers working for my cousin in Montreal, the only one in our family who ever “made it big” (ie, rich). Wealthy Cousin owned a major wholesale operation that supplied non-perishable items to convenience stores across the province. I remember being amazed the first time I toured the warehouse, […]
Glorious Green Salad (vegan, candida-diet friendly)
Considering all the greens I’ve been eating lately, you’d think there must be a figurative alignment between my food intake and an equally green explosion of foliage splashed across the springtime landscape here in the Toronto area. You’d think. But, ah, you’d be wrong. You see, after the record-breaking cold, back-breaking bouts of shoveling snow, spirit-breaking endless […]
Chocolate Potato Cake Donuts
Yes, you read that right. Potato–in a chocolate cake! Well, if potato starch can add binding power and lighten up a cake batter, why not just use the actual potato? (Why not, indeed?). Plus, y’all know how much I love potatoes. And how much I believe they can be part of a healthful diet (even […]
Grain-Free Peppermint Nanaimo Bars (vegan and sugar-free)
Chocolate + mint. Could there be a more divine combination? I’m kinda partial to chocolate + caramel as well, come to think of it. And chocolate + cherry rocks pretty well, too. Oh, and chocolate + pumpkin. And what the heck–chocolate and chocolate is always a winner, isn’t it?) But yeah, chocolate + mint is way […]
Whole Foods Knockoff Kale and Beet Salad (aka the Easiest Kale Salad You’ll Ever Make)
It’s kind of a cliché already; you’re probably familiar with “Whole Paycheck Market” (aka Whole Foods). Or maybe you’ve heard it referred to as the grocery store where they accept “Yuppie Food Stamps” (aka twenty dollar bills). Where eco-conscious, health conscious, modern parents shop (aka rich folks. Or food bloggers).
