Thank you Amy from Fit & Fierce over 40 for inviting me to teach a cooking class with your amazing ladies. We made these (very versatile) zucchini fritters, and served them with a wholesome arugula salad. We also discussed about the importance of gut health and how the ingredients incorporated in our meal help our gut, prevent inflammation and nourish our body. It was a lovely virtual gathering.

Amy: OMG, thank you so much for tonight!
Lusine, LOVE LOVE LOVE the fritters!!  Amazing recipe. Everyone loved it as well.

It’s getting colder, which means it’s high time to take all those moments you used to spend basking in the sun, and replace them with moments filling your face with comfort food.

Enter: a Divine Dessert Tasting Tour.

Truly, what better way is there to welcome warmth back into your bod than by tucking into some sweet, luxurious, and carby treats?
At the upcoming dessert tasting tour, led by Lusine of Bare Holistics, you’ll be able to snack on some of the city’s snazziest sweets while learning about dessert can be a guilt-free experience.

Starting at the corner of Queen West and Gore Vale Avenue, the tour will highlight options made with only the highest quality ingredients. Previous tours have stopped into spots like Nügateau, Queen West’s specialty shop for gorgeous eclairs.

Tickets for the event are available online for $87, and will include tastings of various sweets and treats, plus teachings about the history of some of the city’s favourite desserts.
The experience will also focus on the importance of mindful eating, which will allow you to enjoy every bite of your treat.
Because, as the event’s description reads, “The secret to delicious desserts lies in the ingredients, and in the way you eat them.”

Yesterday at the Green Living Show we made pasta that's good for the gut!

Yesterday, the owners of Bare Holistics and Naughty Nutrition came together for a fun cooking demo to showcase the benefits of healthy eating. Lusine (Founder of Bare Holistics), and Mirna (Co-Founder of Naughty Nutrition) demonstrated a delicious gluten-free pasta recipe that is actually good for the gut, and ended things on a sweet guilt free note with mouthwatering energy balls.
