It was another amazing year of friendships, learning and growing at the Manuels River location of the CBS Community Garden. We harvested and celebrated our season last weekend. Sunshine and smiles made it the most perfect day!!

This cozy skillet of simmering tomatoes is a simply gorgeous way to use up your tomato harvest. It’s packed with antioxidants and flavour and will be your new weekend morning comfort food. Treat yourself to heirloom tomatoes, fresh herbs, and a good quality olive oil. You’re so worth it. Here’s how:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet the sauté onion and pepper for 5 minutes until soft.
Stir in garlic & paprika. Cook until fragrant.
Add tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and let simmer 10–15 minutes until thickened.
Make small wells in the sauce and gently crack in the eggs. Add basil and feta cheese and cover the skillet. Cook until whites are firm and yolks are done to your liking (5–7 minutes for medium).
Serve with sourdough toast & savour.

A few pics from around the garden this summer…

The highlight was this little impromptu project where I planted the extras outside my fence for the kiddos in the cul-de-sac….look at their excitement when they harvested…and check out the little guy trying to feed corn to Rosie through the fence! Oh my ❤️

Inflammation is a topic of daily conversation in my practice. Chronic conditions like HBP, elevated cholesterol, diabetes, anxiety, depression, etc all have inflammation at play. But even if you haven’t been diagnosed with a disease, you could still be dealing with inflammation! Got pain, brain fog, difficulty losing weight, whacky hormones, low energy? YEP! That’s all Inflammation too! But the most important thing to remember is that what is inflammatory in your body might be different than the next person. So getting individual advice and professional support is key to positive outcomes! DM me if you’d like to see what small changes you could make to reduce inflammation in your body ❤️

This Tabouli Lentil Salad is fresh from the garden and full of flavour. It’s got plant-based protein, fiber, and antioxidants to support gut & hormone health. 🌱

The fresh chives, parsley, and mint add brightness and digestive support. I always keep a few cans of lentils (or beans) in the pantry for a super quick-protein based lunch worhout having to cook on a hot day.

And no better place to enjoy it than in the greenhouse!!

Makes a great side to balance grilled salmon or chicken. Comment yum for the recipe 😉

Ladies, let’s talk about the unsung hero of hormone health: F I B E R !! Balancing hormones is daily conversation in my practice—and while protein always gets the spotlight, plant-based proteins and fiber-rich foods deserve a standing ovation too.

This breakfast? A hormone-loving powerhouse:

🌱 Seed loaf packed with flax, sunflower, and chia—hello, fiber and healthy fats!
🌱 Hummus + broccoli sprouts for a protein + phytonutrient boost. Thanks greenfarmnl 😊
🌱 Raspberries bringing color, antioxidants, and even more fiber.
Did you know? Lentils + seeds = a complete protein, meaning they give your body all 9 essential amino acids. So while you’re tracking your protein, don’t overlook the power of plants!

Fiber also:

👍Supports liver detox (bye-bye, excess estrogen)
👍Feeds your gut microbiome (hello, better moods + digestion)
👍Keeps blood sugar stable (hugely important for hormone balance)
Let’s not just focus on more protein—let’s aim for smart protein that works with our body in this beautiful season of life.

Midlife tip: Start your day with fiber, protein + plants. Your hormones (and your gut) will thank you.

Winter can leave our skin dry and dull, and now that the season has changed we're looking to replenish what winter took from us!

With the beautiful weather creeping in, we are still feeling a little chill, so this butternut squash soup will do the trick - lucky for you, this is packed with nutrients to support skin and hormone health.

💡Did you know? Antioxidants, vitamin A, C, and beta-carotene help manage oxidative stress to fend off dryness to keep your skin supple and hydrated.

This soup is satisfying, delicately sweet, and will help you feel balanced on the inside and out. Make it with collagen-rich bone broth (DM for the recipe!) to elevate your glow up even more!
