Nope. A full-on, thrown-on-a-sailboat-when-the-keel-hit-the-ground kinda accident. One that launched me in the air. No part of me touching the boat. I was flying without wings, only to land […]

We can easily get addicted to foods that give us a quick high. And then follows the crash. Don’t pin all your happiness on what’s on your plate.

Drum Roll… BEST Burger Results

Here are the results of The BEST Burger Challenge held on June 10, 2018, at the beautiful Royal Canadian Yacht Club on Toronto Island. We had a fantastic line up of family and friends with Jerry Agar, host of NewsTalk1010 Radio, and I. I came up with this idea because Jerry and I have a history of discussing (and disagreeing) about burgers! Well, we disagree about food in general. I would love for him to […]

EAT THIS For Your Eyes

In this digital age, our eyes are exposed to digital devices like computer screens, phones, tablets and TVs all day long and those screens are mostly blue light.

Diets of 2017 – What’s Effective and Sustainable

Summer Barbecuing At Its Best

The sun is out, the air is warm, and that means it’s time to be outside as much as possible! The warm weather brings everyone out, so meeting new neighbours, having new and old friends over, partying in the backyard or in the park are all high on the summertime have-to list. I use my barbecue as an outdoor oven. Just about anything that I can make in the oven, I can make on the […]
