This metabolism booster workout is made up of 2 parts. The first is 4 minutes of 2 exercises done back to back and is sure to get you into a quick sweat. But 4 minutes and it is done!! Then you move onto the challenge, a time challenge with a fun exercise that took me just over 3 minutes. Just 7-8 minutes and your body is rev’ed and you are a fat burning, energetic, invigorated machine! Awesome! || Read more
Today our adventure brings us to Thailand, to the Temple of the Tigers. Here the tigers are quite tame and if you are daring enough you can pet and take pictures with them. Do not wear bright colors to the temple; wear closed shoes and don’t wear white if you plan to feed the baby tigers. || Read more

This is my favorite smoothie! This was created for wild little chocolate-crazy monkeys. The ChocoMonkey is ultra smooth and creamy chocolate goodness at its best! And not only is it delicious, but it is a real superfood treat! Cacao is loaded with feel good and nutritional properties. It has one of the highest ratings of any food on the planet for antioxidants and is loaded with a variety of minerals. It is especially high magnesium, a vital mineral which most people are very deficient in. This smoothie is bursting with flavor and nutrition. || Read more
I love and drink blue solar water daily and I have been doing this for several years now. Every day here at our home we set out blue bottles filled with water and every evening when the sun has gone down we bring them in again. My mom & I both believe in, make and drink solar water regularly. It’s a routine and just a part of our life now. || Read more
This 12 minute interval training workout goes through 11 Ugi exercises, one is done on both sides, so lots of change ups in this one! You can also set your timer for 24 minutes to get a longer workout in. There are a few new Ugi exercises in this which I am doing for the first time, which is always great. I love to change it up. Doing different exercises keeps the body guessing, which is great for bodybuilding and keeps me entertained! || Read more
This is one of my favorite salad dressings and it has a lot of soul and history. This was the house dressing used at Toronto Sprouts. It was the only salad dressing we usually had and one that was loved by all. I think Marie, Sprout Mama, first created it and others of us in the kitchen helped with its evolution. It probably evolved and changed until the recipe was finally written down by me. Until that point the recipe was passed down as an oral tradition: “Put in a handful of dates, a pinch of this, smigeon of that, squeeze a couple lemons and fill it up with water to about here and blend, now taste and adjust..” was how it used to go.. as did many of the recipes in that kitchen. But I made lots of notes and now thankfully tradition is saved. ; ) And Thank you Marie for those wonderful soulful kitchen experiences!! || Read more
