Passover Power Granola


Sorry, but I have to say it every year: DO NOT BUY PACKED PASSOVER FOOD!

While all processed food is basically crap, the stuff they make specifically for Passover is often even worse.  Not only that, but its ridiculously expensive and tastes like shit.

Do yourself a favour and make your own Passover eats.  We only buy the whole wheat matzo and whole wheat matzo meal and that's about it!

If you like cereal or granola for breakfast, I know that it can be hard to just eat matzo.  I don't recommend it anyways, its just empty carbs that will leave you feeling famished and sluggish in a few hours.

This granola is filled with fibre, protein and nutritious seeds and fruits.  Pair it with some Greek yogurt and maybe some fresh fruit and you'll be sailing through your morning with energy and vitality.

Passover Power Granola

1/2 cup coconut oil
1 cup apple sauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp pure, uncut stevia powder (or other sweetener, to taste)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt

180g bag plain puffed quinoa
2 tbls whole flax seeds
2 tbls hemp seeds
1 tbls chia seeds
1 scoop vanilla hemp protein powder (like this one)

1 cup mixed dried fruit (unsweetened) and pumpkin/sunflower seeds (I used this)

Place oil, apple sauce, vanilla, stevia, cinnamon and salt in small pot and warm over medium heat until oil is completely melted.

Place dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir.  Pour wet ingredients over top and mix well.  Spread evenly on non-stick baking sheet and bake at 350F for 30 minutes, stirring twice.  Let cool and stir in fruits and seeds.  Store in an airtight container.

  1. Drink this Japanese tonic in the morning to burn 3 lbs every 3.5 days

    A maverick Japanese doctor recently leaked the secret formula of an ancient Japanese Tonic that targets the root cause of deep belly fat and activates a powerful, little-known fat-burning hormone inside you…that MELTS away all your stubborn body fat.

    Firefighter Mike Banner’s 45-year-old sister, Susan, lost 54 pounds in only 7 weeks with no exercise due to osteoarthritis in her damaged knee.

    Make sure to drink this potent Japanese Tonic before 10AM to melt twice as much fat as 1 hour on a joint-destroying treadmill.

Japanese 7-Spice Kelp Noodles

I love trying new spices and seasonings, so I am very excited that the President's Choice Black Label line now has a bunch of new spice blends available.  My most recent find: Shichimi Togarashi, or Japanese 7-Spice blend. It's a combination of crushed red chili flakes, sea salt, Szechiuan peppercorns, black and white sesame seeds, poppy seeds, orange zest, wasabi powder and nori seaweed flakes. I make Japanese-inspired dishes all the time, but resort to the same old flavours most of the time: miso, soy, sesame, ginger and garlic.  I was so excited to be able to liven things up a bit. This dish is easy and tasty, although be warned that this seasoning packs punch.  I used 1 tsp, which ended up being too spicy for me, and I have a high tolerance for heat!  I recommend 1/4-1/2 tsp, or, if you don't like heat at all, make your own at home and omit the red chili flakes.  You'll get all the flavour without the heat. I served these noodles with a mix of seafood (

Book Review: The A to Z of Children's Health

Hey there, welcome to Monday!  We had a delightful, relatively quiet weekend.  How was yours?  Hopefully no one in your home was sick...there is a lot of nasty stuff going around these days. If you're a parent, than you have probably spent far more time that you would like to desperately searching Google and/or parenting books trying to figure out if your child's rash, cough or fever warrants a trip to the doctor or if there is something that can be done to treat it.  It's hard not to worry that it could be something more ominous that just an every day infection and while you'd make yourself (and everyone around you) nuts if you panicked every time your kid has the sniffles, as a parent, you naturally want to do everything in your power to prevent your child from harm. Recently I was sent The A to Z of Children's Health , written by doctors Jeremy Friedman, Natasha Saunders, and Norman Saunders, of Toronto's very own Hospital for Sick Children .  One of th

How to Look Like a Celebrity

Okay, I know you're going to be interested in this post! I am sure virtually every woman in North America has wondered how Hollywood celebrities achieve such 'perfect' bodies.  Well, at CAN FIT PRO last week, one of Hollywood's top fitness trainers, Eric the Trainer , was there to tell us fitness professionals the secrets! Eric the Trainer, gave several presentations, and I caught the one on Celebrity Secrets, and it was most interesting!!!  I also found some of what he said rather disturbing. First off, he was very upfront about the fact that celebrities come to him for improve their appearance.  Not to improve their health or athletic performance.  To look their best.  He admitted that his approach then, is entirely dedicated to that end. Male and female celebrities are trained in completely different ways because Hollywood wants women to be lithe and thin and in his words, "look like they dropped out of heaven looking this way without every having ste
