Want to help yourself or a loved one with dementia? If so, consider adding in more plants to your meals. In this episode, we’ll see how eating differently – specifically adding in more fiber-rich plant-based foods to our meals – can help build a stronger, more mentally active brain and even cut dementia risk. I want to share some fascinating research that has emerged linking the fiber content of our diets and the risk of dementia. Tune in!

Our first real snowfall here...and hopefully not the last! ❄️ It was such a surprise to see these snow flurries first thing in the morning in March and to have the whit flakes come down fast and furious for a few hours, blanketing the landscape. The kids at school loved it or course. My daughter said she was even able to make a tiny snowman at recess! ☃️

Did you know? Many Leafy greens are a rich source of nitrates which can be converted into nitric oxide that have important cardioprotective effects on our bodies. These include, but are not limited to, relaxing blood vessels, regulating blood pressure, and reducing oxidative stress. They may also help limit the progression of atherosclerosis, by pathways such as reducing the oxidation of LDL and reducing blood platelet activation.

What's your favorite way you like to enjoy leafy greens? 🥬

A special cake for a special girl. My daughter requested a special baked birthday cake - a lemony vanilla one, so mom had to deliver! 💝 I experimented on the morning of, adding 1.5 tablespoons of fresh lemon zest and 3 teaspoons of vanilla extract to each layer and adjusted the amounts of plant-based milk used. The result? So happy that it turned out to be a deliciously light and spongy cake with a noticeable vanilla lemony zest that had just the right sweetness. A 100% plant based cake that is refined sugar free, dairy free, and egg free. In fact, my son requested the exact same cake for his birthday. At least this time I will know exactly how to make it for him! 🎂

What a sweet sweet time of getting together yesterday with our friends - for our children and ourselves. We had a wonderful dinner together last night with friends who came to visit, and even played some games! It had been about 7 months since we were last able to meet. I am not sure when we will be able to meet again, as our friends will be moving to PNG to serve as missionaries, but we treasure every moment together! 💗

"Mommy, do you have a recipe for chocolate cookies?" My 9-year-old daughter asks me the morning of her playdate with a friend on Valentine's Day eve. So I printed for her a copy of my 'Super Addictive ‘Can’t Stop Eating’ Little Vegan Cookies'. I wasn't really expecting her to make it, and wasn't even sure if her friend would have the needed ingredients in her house, as these cookies are nut-free, dairy-free and egg-free, and needed vegan chocolate chips.

Well, they surprised me later with these! It turned out her friend's mum had all the ingredients, except applesauce, so substituted that with banana. My daughter and her friend made a double batch then split the cookies in half. Her friend's mom told me later that afternoon "Hahaha we split them in half and our half is almost gone 😂"

What a fun baking day for the girls and so proud of what they made! 🙌
