Because, dear Erinn, no one ever shared with me how much I could love another soul as much as I love you. Because, through you, I truly discovered the meaning of eternal love, devotion, compassion, empathy, selflessness, forgiveness, self-love, respect and loyalty. Because, sweet girl, as your mother, I now can fully comprehend, as crazy as it might sound, the full depth of awe-inspiring love in my heart and equally so, at the other side of karma, the most breathtaking hurt and deepest pain. You’ve provided for me this gift to surrender by going deep and learn so much more about myself.  Because of you, I have learned the value of being the student, as well as, the teacher. The roles work both ways for us. Even though I’m passionate, and sometimes spirited, spicy 😉 and misunderstood, I am so grateful for these lessons. (You’re a tough teacher 👊🏻). Because…

– Let us Love Back in May 2010, when Kindfood opened its doors, I had no idea what my heart was getting into. For all of my life I have wanted to help others and to show them a better way of eating – without ‘processed foods’ or ingesting harmful toxins from animal-based foods and create a community or culture for all to enjoy. A little over a year earlier, in 2009, we birthed this massive passion within our family by going 100% plant-based (vegan) and it poured into my soul and into everyone else’s around me. It was so exciting! I was completely passionate about my thoughts and what I was learning about planet-based foods, Superfoods, and the truth about the big agricultural animal-based food industry. As a family, we all were fired up to spread the word, the passion and spread the love. Kindfood was born. Ken and I were…

Being my daughter’s mother is my greatest honour.  Today, is April 19, 2016, and twenty-six years ago, I became the greatest job that would ever be bestowed upon me. I became a mom. (Happy Birthday Erinn!). Thirty-seven hours later, with a ton of physical trauma, and a spiritual transformation that only I could intimately understand, this would be the most miraculous journey I could ever imagine. I’ve realized this much, that I was young when she was born (too young, I tell myself at times while doing some deep soul-reflection over these past 26 years). Through heartache, through laughter, through giggles and late night talks and snuggles and story-telling too and millions of phone calls, shopping excursions, texts and hugs and kisses, through our lessons of greatness and lessons of smallness, our triumphs and failures and ultimate lessons, this will always be my greatest honour in my entire life.  To…

I’m already thinking chilly weather and soup season and wanted to change up my greens that I tend to eat daily. For some reason, it’s been a while since I’ve had broccoli and started craving it over the weekend. This soup was an a easy make for me and made enough for lunch yesterday and today. It’s nutritious, easy to make and you can freeze it for future lunches or dinners. I love cooking with non-dairy milks and creams and LOVE that I get ZERO bad cholesterols in my diet. Only healthy fats for me (if only my mom would listen). Broccoli is also an amazing source of calcium (along with kale). Who needs dairy when we have our greens?! Creamy Broccoli Soup Makes about 8 servings (1 cup each) 1 medium yellow onion, diced 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 tsp olive oil 2 medium organic potatoes, scrubbed and diced 2 medium…

Meditation In A Busy World: Finding Your Centre Amid The Chaos Meditation has been around for centuries, but lately it has been experiencing a revival as more and more people are seeing how relevant this ancient Buddhist practice is with today’s modern lifestyles. Studies have proven the many benefits of meditation: It gives you clarity, it relieves stress and anxiety, it feeds your creativity, it drives you toward your goals, it has the capacity to heal your pain – physical, emotional, real or imagined. Some people use it to seek solutions for their specific problems while others need it to make life easier and lighter in general. I find that meditation is perfectly aligned with our life principles on making more responsible, sustainable decisions. Yes, I see the direct connection between food and meditation! Our decision to go vegan is rooted in our commitment to our health and to caring…

What an awesome video!! This is our latest work on healthy Gluten-Free Living. Filmed at Kelly’s Bake Shoppe, we shed light on some quick and easy tips on how relatively simple it is to go Gluten-Free. Gluten is found hidden in so many things like salad dressings and condiments like ketchup so beware of the many ways it can hurt your digestion without you even knowing you are eating it. It’s so important to read the labels of everything you purchase when grocery shopping, just to ensure you’re eating exactly what you think you are. Erinn and I are pretty diligent when it comes to grocery shopping always staying in the produce department and very rarely walking up and down grocery store aisles. These aisles are where primarily the processed foods are and these foods we should be staying away from the majority of the time (you got it- not…

The more I realize how the state of gratefulness benefits my joy and happiness, the more I try to practice it every moment of the day. It aligns me instantly with my deepest passions. This past year has been such an incredible year for me and my family and extended our family (our wonderful staff!!) at Kelly’s Bake Shoppe and Lettuce Love Cafe. Thank you to all of our customers and friends who have been there for us through it all. We’re on a path to change the world, one cupcake and green smoothie at a time, and to encourage deep healing and a re-connection with Mother Earth through delicious whole foods and to get everyone ‘back into the kitchen’ and say “NO” to industrialized junk food. Our staff continue to dazzle me every day and this post is about how grateful I am for them. Thank you to EVERY…

Thank you Julie for choosing to feature us on your blog today for “Thankful Thursday”. What a concept that you created by putting people in that state of mind of gratefulness every day of the week and experience more joy – by subscribing to your website. Erinn and I are so grateful for what we do and every day is an absolute blessing to be able to “BE” exactly where we are, together and building this delicious and healthy ‘cupcake empire’. It is so incredible to be able to share this passion with people like you, Julie. We wanted to return this loving gesture you did for for us and we have featured YOUR hard work today. Your weekly diligence and creativity of creating a more loving planet through gratefulness (and also, putting together this very sweet video of Erinn and me). In this video (above), we were able to voice how…

YOU all spoke and WE listened! <3 There isn’t anything that would make us happier than being able to give back to our lovely followers, fans, customers and friends. What do people REALLY want from us? How can we help YOU achieve what is most important to you? What is the greatest gift we can give to others? The gift of our time and ourselves. By giving as much information and tools to make the changes you want so deeply, so that you can make a difference in your life. What does everyone ask about the most? Well, here’s a small sample… “What do YOU eat?” “Daily?” “Weekly?” “Holidays?” “What do you do for your skin?” “Hair?” “How do you and Erinn get along so well?” “How do I get rid of dairy in my life?” “What is a GREEN Smoothie?” “How do I get it really smooth?” “My husband…
