Here is my last version of my corn and bean salad base recipe which I have been experimenting with this month. This recipe was delicious and is my favourites discovery! It was also one of the easiest to make.

The flavour highlights of this salad are the love chemistry of Corn LOVING Carrots, Celery and Pumpkin Seeds. And youpiee!.... these ingredients tend to also be more affordable. To learn Secret #4 for Delicious of Everyday Healthy note this flavour pairing :-)

Below is version 3 of my corn and bean salad base. Learning how to make something once and use it 2+ times, (with variety of course!) is Secret #3 for the Quick of Everyday Healthy. While this recipe was not my fav per say, it was still good and could be improved with a few alterations (noted below). I am sharing this in the spirit of appreciating that any learning journey comprises of both successes and opportunities for learning ;-)

Secret 2 for making Everyday Healthy Quick is to learn how make something once and use with variety throughout the week.  As organic corn is season, plentiful and affordable, I chose to make this vegetable the feature of my bean salad dish. (see previous post for initial inspiration) This past week and a bit I have put the salad to the test to see if it is worthy enough (aka delicious and convenient) for the everyday.

I have recently made a quick and delicious corn and black bean salad to last a few days to cut down my kitchen prep-time. I am heading back to school
today at the Canadian Schoo of Natural Nutrition, and I have less time for food prep. (1 year left! :-) Whether you or your family are going back to school or working here are some tips to make everyday healthy more practical.

Recipe for Blackberries and Peaches with Yogurt a la Raw Vegan

I received some blackberries from my beautiful sister-in-law Parrish and was inspired to create! This simple dish tastes good because it follows the laws of flavour attraction  as noted above.  Pssst, learning whole food flavour combinations is the...Secret #4 for Delicious of Everyday Healthy.


While the yogurt is somewhat of a time investment it will last 3 -4 days in the fridge because the lemon acts as a preservative. While young Thai coconuts are not exactly affordable, you can get them for lower costs at Asian grocers or Superstore (where I bought mine :-) - and are a nice treat to celebrate the end of summer fruit.
