Earlier this week, I participated in the Living Beyond Breast Cancer Twitter Chat about eating during and after cancer treatment. It was a super engaging and interesting “discussion”. Btw, I’m still amazed that I actually have conversations via social media. But the Silver Lining is that I DO have conversations and have met some wonderful people on… Continue reading Colorful Eating to Decrease Risk of Cancer
Vegan – Beating Cancer with Nutrition
Friday’s Fixin’s: Butternut Squash Soup
Butternut Squash Soup In addition to fall being synonymous with pumpkin, I also happen to believe that it is synonymous with soup. Oh soup. As you can probably tell by now, I love soup. It warms my heart, soul and tummy. It is nutritious and filling. It has cured many an illness, both physical as… Continue reading Friday’s Fixin’s: Butternut Squash Soup
Friday's Fixin's: Swiss Chard and Walnut Salad
Today’s recipe comes from Cook For Your Life, a Silver Lined website whose mission is “to improve the health of people touched by cancer by giving them the practical knowledge, tools, and inspiration to cook their way through treatment and into a healthy survivorship.” I have written about the wonderful organization before and continue to find the yummiest… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: Swiss Chard and Walnut Salad
Friday's Fixin's: Artichoke Appetizer
My new favorite cookbook is The Conscious Cook by Tal Ronnen. I first learned about it when I attended a very fancy-schmancy dinner. At the end of the meal, our beautiful hostess stood up and said, “I’d like for you all to know that you just had an entirely vegan meal. Including dessert.” Well, that… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: Artichoke Appetizer
Friday's Fixin's: Cream of Broccoli Soup (Vegan Style!)
After this holiday season of eating and drinking and indulging (including another batch of Maggie’s Pineapple Casserole), it’s time to jump back on the vegan wagon and pull out the fire hose of green juice (which equates to a ginormous glass – sometimes two – every day). Recently, I came across an amazing food blog… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: Cream of Broccoli Soup (Vegan Style!)
Friday's Fixin's: Running Preparation & Recovery Treats
As I prepare for my 1/2 Marathon this Sunday, I am thinking about what I’m going to eat before and after the run. I am a big fan of Brendan Brazier who is a professional triathlete (can you imagine?!?) and a two-time Canadian 50 km Ultra Marathon Champion (that is OVER 100 miles, in case you were wondering!). In addition to his studley athleticism, he is also a vegan. Super cool Silver Lining.
Friday's Fixin's: A Little Marinara Goes a Long Way
Last week, some girlfriends came over to cook a bunch of vegan, gluten free dishes. One of which is an outrageously good marinara sauce. Hope you enjoy!
Friday's Fixin's: Salmon
As you all know by now, I’m about 85% Vegan. However, two to three times per week I eat fish and goat cheese. After being 100% vegan for about a year, I found that my body really needs these other protein sources. With lots of vitamin D, selenium, B vitamins, magnesium, as well as the prized… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: Salmon
Brookside Babycakes
As I have mentioned here many times, I am about 90% Vegan (at the pleading of my oncologic nutritionist, I have wild caught fish once or twice a week). The good news is that being Vegan is not only not that hard, but there are FABULOUS vegan options available now, which makes both going out… Continue reading Brookside Babycakes
Delicious Dressing
As a (90%) Vegan (at the recommendation of my oncology nutritionist-& my taste buds!-I do eat fish occasionally), I’m constantly on the search for yummy, satisfying food. But, who isn’t? I’ve found when The Husband and I go to super fabulous, celebratory restaurants, all I have to do is call ahead to let them know… Continue reading Delicious Dressing
