stand strong and you will grow...

Today's favourite thing: grilled tomato! OMG! Wrap that little sucker in foil and toss it onto the BBQ for 10-15 mins. Delic'!

reasons to smile

1. Toronto's recent heat wave. It's impossible to deny that summer is finally here when it's almost 50c in the sun!

2. Air conditioning.

3. Having my annual physical and learning that after over seven months of being vegetarian, and all of the recent yoga, my body is in it's best shape EVER. ALL of my previous health issues are gone, completely. :)

4. My new favourite thing: Ace whole grain bread + Earth Balance vegan butter + fresh tomato + basil = perfection. Breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack - it makes my tummy happy!

5. Unexpectedly stumbling upon something new that I love: bellydancing!

Thanks for stopping by!

fiddleheads and other things...

Has it really been that long since my last post?! Jeepers! Delinquent blogger here! I am slowly coming down from a month of amazing personal changes, and am ready to get serious again. :)

A few things to note about July:

• I've decided to make July a vegan month, as best as I can (wedding menus may prove challenging). It's become very apparent that I feel best when I eat best.
• Yoga is back on the agenda, hardcore, and I'm contemplating hiring a personal trainer.
• I hope to share with you some of my new favourite things - recipes, blogs, newsletters, movies, shows, etc.

Today's favourite thing: http://wisconsinvegan.wordpress.com/ A lovely blog from someone who actually blogs regularly. ;)

Today's recipe, kind of: remember those fiddleheads I was going on and on about some time ago? Since their season is so short, I took my mother's advice and froze a whack of them. Now I love throwing them in with grilled veggies. Just add the fiddles to some cut up peppers, asparagus, mushrooms, garlic - whatever you fancy - toss with some olive oil, salt and pepper; package in a foil and grill - yum! Perfectly delicious and nutritious little buggers!

Thanks for stopping by, and sorry to keep you waiting!
