I’m making some mini turkey patties in advance to have on hand for a bunch of little guests that will be coming soon. I’m boosting the nutritional content by adding some grated cheese, some oats, an egg, and the tippy top of some steamed broccoli florettes.

Freshly picked asparagus from our garden and into our tummies as an asparagus frittata in less than 10 minutes! I am so excited as this is the first year I can enjoy substantial harvests! I started these from seed, so had to wait 3-4 years for a harvest.

Asparagus is rich in fibre, iron, zinc, folate, vitamin K, and antioxidants. Its health benefits include:

✅ supporting digestive health (great source of fibre and prebiotics)

✅reducing inflammation

✅ supporting cardiovascular health

✅ supporting kidney and urinary tract health

✅ being a rich source of folate, which is especially important during pregnancy

Fun fact about ‘asparagus p*e’ (a sulfuric odour in urine after eating asparagus caused by the breakdown of asparagusic acid): due to genetic reasons, 60% of people can’t smell it! Let’s do our own research! Do you/can you smell your asparagus p*e after eating asparagus? I’ll start: yes! 👃🏻

Timely advice from Sospita Safety Management as I went for my first bike ride last week. Sospita Safety Management is a great resource for all your First Aid needs, including supplies and training for personal or business needs.

Is Your Helmet Still Safe? Most People Never Check.

With spring here, bikes, scooters, and outdoor play are back — but there’s one thing many people overlook: helmet safety.

A helmet only works if it’s in good condition and fits properly.

Quick helmet safety check:
- Age: Helmets should be replaced every 5–10 years (or sooner if damaged)
- Crash history: If it’s been in a crash — even a small one — replace it
- Fit: The front of the helmet should sit no more than two fingers above the eye brows
- Straps: Snug under the chin (you should only fit one finger) and the v should be right below the ear
- Movement: It shouldn’t shift when your child shakes their head

Why it matters: Most impacts in bike accidents happen to the front and side of the head — exactly where poor fit leaves gaps.

Whether it’s a quick ride around the block or a trip to the park, a properly fitted helmet makes a huge difference. Take 60 seconds today and check — it’s one of the simplest ways to prevent serious injury.

I managed to get my cabbage, kale, and many varieties of lettuce seedlings into the ground before the rain starts this afternoon.

I strive to eat leafy greens just about every single day. These nutrient-dense veggies offer almost every health benefit you can think of!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! 🌱🌱🌱

Finally! All my asparagus plants are loaded this year! See all the asparagus spears poking out of the ground? How many do you see? I’m so excited!!!

Asparagus is packed with anti-inflammatory antioxidants including vitamin E, C, and glutathione. It’s rich in folate, fiber, and vitamin K, which support digestive health, heart health, and bone density.

Spring allergy season is upon us, and unfortunately, it is expected to be particularly challenging this year. Many experts are calling it very ‘nasty’, especially in those areas that have had a delayed start to spring (like Ottawa), as this will lead to a ‘pollen explosion’ when the warm weather suddenly hits.

My latest blog highlights a uniquely formulated botanical blend that provides effective allergy relief. It also includes a link to another one of my blogs offering some pratical allergy season survival tips.
