Today marks my 7th gluten free anniversary, meaning I’ve made it another year around the gluten free sun without combusting or fainting from lack of gluten consumption. That’s right; if you need to be gluten free you can survive, I promise. For me, at least, I feel like it gets easier year after year. More Read More …
Can you believe we’ve never done a gluten free potluck? We’ve done different nationalities, different ingredients; even colors. While gluten free has always been available at all of these we’d never done gluten free specifically, so we made it our June theme. Unfortunately summer calls for busy weekends and strained schedules, so it was one Read More …
Let’s be honest, there’s a lot of extra steps having Celiac Disease or a Food Allergy adds to our lives. Often times we need to be on point so we don’t make mistakes, we need to find and buy more ingredients, we need to ask more questions, and so much more. All this requires a Read More …
Food, as I’ve said a thousand times over, is so much more than the sustenance for our bellies and bodied. The social quality of it influence our behaviours, personalities, relationships and even what we hold to be our traditions and heritage. Yet this aspect is often overlooked in nutrition, food, and mental health studies and the Read More …
May’s Potluck was a bit different than the other monthly events we’ve been doing. Rather than pick an ethnic or ingredient theme we wanted to give one of our friends the opportunity to explore some of her new skills as a Health Coach and choose mindfulness as our theme.

Here’s another potluck for the books. Last month’s theme was red foods, one of the largest spectrum’s of color in the food world (and we included anything on the spectrum). It was partially in celebration of Valentine’s Day. It’s obviously a holiday forever connected to hearts, pinks, and reds which made decorating easy! We pulled Read More …
You get the call, the call none of us want to get. Someone you love has passed away. Whether sudden or expected your world has been rocked. It is heart breaking, and I doubt the first thing on your mind is ‘What will I eat next?” You may not be hungry, you may not have Read More …
To me, no other food genre tells such a personal story as the ideas that are conjured up when one thinks of Comfort food. It is a concept so ingrained in cultural, familial, communal, and personal backgrounds, and it is truly remarkable to hear the stories behind each dish. Even climate plays a role. For those Read More …
Happy 2016 everyone! Last night’s New Years Eve was a bit out of character for me, I went out for the ‘holiday’ for the first time ever. Some of my closest friends and I attended a masquerade party at a swanky hotel in queens. It was pretty fun, and we looked damn sassy: What did Read More …
Potlucks around the holiday get kind of difficult, you just eat so much and cook so much around this time of year. BUT making and eating the same ‘traditional’ foods can get kind of dull so November’s potluck wanted to mix things up a little bit but still keep in holiday theme so we did Read More …
