Viva Vitamin Angels and Whole Foods Gift Card...
As a mother I think aside from my love and my attention the number one priority I have is helping my children build strong healthy bodies through holistic nutrition, meaning a good balanced diets with lots of whole foods and clean water. I love cooking for my family and I pride myself on dishes with plenty of seasonal and organic fruits and veggies, grass fed beef, free range organic chicken, and...

Green Vacations
There are many factors that determine where and how people travel on vacations. Considerations often include budget, type of atmosphere (for example family friendly, high adventure, relaxing etc…), length of stay and distance to travel, to name a few. One consideration that often gets overlooked is environmental impact. Concern for the environment doesn’t have to be left on the doorstep...

Meatless Monday: Roasted Cauliflower
When I was a child I could not stand cauliflower. We never had fresh vegetables growing up ( the frozen and canned food revolution was firmly rooted in Americana Culture) and frozen cauliflower just didn’t do it for me. My obsession with cauliflower didn’t begin until one evening, at a fundraiser, when a beautiful roast organic cauliflower soup was served. I spent the next week trying...

We Will Never Forget
The Organic Blonde and my family wish to take a moment, in memory of those who lost their lives, and to honour the heroes who bravely served that morning and thousands of other mornings when peace was chosen over war. The events of September 11, 2001 affected millions of us both here in the United States of America, and abroad. For each life that was stolen, a memory, a legacy lives on - and for...

Sucralose Side Effects and Your Choice
How many years does that sweet tooth really cost you?
Sugar, natural and wonderful on your tongue, has many side effects. While candies, cakes, and pies might taste delicious, long-term ingestion can cause weight gain, diabetes, and other chronic diseases that take years off your life.
Some time ago in the 20th century there was a push to find alternative sweeteners. People still wanted to give...

The Implications, Risks, and Allergy Issues with GMOs
Where does your food come from?
A hot topic in today’s world is GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) and GM Foods. Starting in the 1990s these chemically altered foods have been a major source of the world’s food and have become big business for those in agribusiness.
The debate surrounding GMOs is the unknown implications of their impact...

Organic Humor: George Carlin on Consumerism
It’s “Silly Saturday” today and, since I am a HUGE George Carlin fan (I think everyone should be), I thought his humor and levity on consumerism would be something you would really enjoy. Consumerism is a huge problem both for your pocket book and the environment as more stuff (especially since everything is wrapped in plastic) means more waste, means more landfill space needed,...

Chocolate Chip Toffee Bars
I love desserts! I can’t help it. I actually used to be one of those women who would order dessert based on what her partner was ordering so I could eat MORE! Once, on a dare, on a first (and last) date, I ordered dessert before my main course. In my quest to find healthy dessert alternatives, I still find myself addicted to chocolate. Deep, dark “swim in a river of it”...

Hydros Self-Filtering Bottle Giveaway
Did you know that bottled water takes 1100 to 2000 times more energy to produce than tap water? Do you know many of those bottled water brands are nothing more than tap water in a plastic bottle? Or worse, soda production by-product? One word. Ick!
The High Cost of Bottled Water:
Thirty-eight billion water bottles end up in landfills every year.
Last year alone, consumers spent over $15 billion...

Grocery Store Wars
Sometimes people can take all the fun out of healthy eco conscious living. It’s important to keep your sense of humor about you to maintain a sense of balance in a complicated world. This has to be one of the funniest videos ever and, since I am a huge Star Wars fan, I laughed until I cried. Grocery Store Wars
