I meet lots of people with the flu or a sore throat during winter. Often they happen to be my vendor friends at the events I do. I have a simple remedy for you below with my Turmeric Ginger Tonic (TGT). I typically do not add dairy or non dairy mylks to my TGT, but to those of you asking how to make a simple latte, here is the recipe below. I also never use […]
On a recent visit to India, my brother’s chef Manju made me lots of delicious low carb vegetarian dishes. I choose to eat a lot of dark vegetables because they also seem to do well for my inflammation issues. Manju spoilt me with her delicate dishes. The dark vegetable (in the red bowl) is the Tambadi Bhaji (or red vegetable) in Marathi, the language spoken in Maharashtra State. Use this recipe with spinach, kale, chard, […]
This is an adaptation of my Tummy Tea. I created this delicious drink with a combination of my products. It really prevented me from getting sick during my long work hours at the Craft shows.
Sometimes all my body craves is plain yogurt and fruit. We often make our own yogurt and I will try to post a recipe for that. This yogurt was made with raw milk, direct from a local farm! Thanks to Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon Morrell, I eat real human food all the time and stay healthy.

I had a craving for caffeine and a popsicle! I decided my Saffron Chai had all the makings of the Indian ‘Kulfi’ ice-cream. Of course, as I am diabetic I try to make low-carb treats. This one kept me happy most of the summer. I would eat them at the Farmer’s Markets and customers asked if I am selling them. I am not! I don’t need another project but you can enjoy. Please check out […]
As many of you know, I am diabetic so I eat gluten and sugar-free. I am also prone to nausea when in a car and sucking on ginger really helps. I also get nauseous during my longer keto fasting days. I knew that ginger would help but needed a sugar free recipe. I sucked on these sugar free candied ginger chews during a recent road trip and was able to not take any of the […]
As many of you know, I have Type 2 diabetes (my story). It is pretty much in the normal range now with my low carb keto diet and intermittent fasting. I am part of a support group through the IDM program run by Toronto based kidney specialist, Dr. Jason Fung. I am so grateful to have have my health restored.
