Hey All!I have a late night yoga class (ends at 9:00pm) and then a 20 minute bike ride home.  Since I don't eat much before my class, by the time I get home, I'm starving!  But I also want to get to…Continue

Hi All!I seem to have come down with a stomach bug (or possibly food poisoning!).  :(  In the past I would have dry toast or Premium Plus crackers to settle an upset tummy.  Certainly not keen on…Continue

Thanks so much Lisa! Yes there will be many more episodes to come in the peru-bolivia series, and we are starting to get working on some Morocco footage as well. Thanks for watching!

I loved hearing from everyone, but you and Jay always make my day. I just wrote to Jay that I actually look for you 2 around the community because you both are so great. I love sharing with my husband about you 2. You're awesome Lisa. I'm so glad I've subscribed to your blog - I'm always inspired. My husband loved the green smoothie story and the little girl.

God Bless You.

Hey Lisa,
If you get the opportunity, either before or after the seminar, to go up and say hi to Brendan I am certain that he will be more than happy to sign a book for you!

Best,
Krystal

Thanks Lisa :D You made my day. I had a question. I just bought Ani's Raw and her dessert book. Do you own a dehydrator? I never have. Any advice and preference to type? Thanks, I appreciate it.

I'm following your blog girl. Gonna post some questions on sprouting.
You're awesome.

Today, I ran for...

...4 minutes!!!!


I'm over the moon right now and I just had to share my excitement. After a long (long!) bout of not being able to do any physical activity, my surgeon gave me the green light to exercise again. I am SOOOO happy.


When I say that I couldn't do any physical activity, I mean nothing. No lifting over 10 pounds (that's a grocery bag!), walk for maximum of 5-10 minutes (that…

Lessons from a Layoff

I knew that this would be tough. I can't run right now and all I can think about is running...


Some background first: I am a relatively new runner. I ran my first big race last September 2009; the Toronto Scotiabank half-marathon was one of my most favourite days. 3 km into the race, I recall thinking, "I love this sooo much...when can I do it again?". For the first time in my life, I felt like an athlete. I was a runner. And I loved it.

Tabbouleh-esque Salad

This is a simple salad recipe that I've been taking to work this week. In the "Leafy Greens" discussion, Jay mentioned that my kale and quinoa salad reminded him of tabbouleh. So, I decided to play with that idea. Here's what I came up with:


6-7 kale leaves
1 very large handful of parsley
1 small handful of mint
1/4 cup chopped cucumber
1/4 cup sprouted beans (chickpeas,…
