We’re still pinching ourselves! Two weeks ago, Greta and I were fortunate enough to have had a lunch meeting with Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York. Yes, Fergie! Royally cool! We found out that she was coming to Waterloo to do a speaking engagement, and a friend of ours knows her, so we begged him [...]

Livin’ on the Vedge, Days 5, 6 & 7
Posted by Greta on September 28th, 2008· → Read and Post Comments (3 Comments)
I ate a pork chop. Yes, it’s true. I ate a pork chop on Day 5. I couldn’t help myself. It was not my fault. I was just being polite. You see, I was invited to a dinner party and the gracious hosts cooked up these amazing, Fred-Flintstone-sizeed barbecued chops and, well, before I knew [...]

Yes, I ate more carrot cake today, and lots of it. I really need to perfect this recipe SOON so that I can actually begin eating REAL vegetables and natural foods that are good for me! It’s kinda funny how people think carrot cake is healthy because it contains carrots. French fries contain potatoes and they aren’t [...]
LOTV, Day 3

Day 3 was awful. Not because I was craving meat, because I wasn’t at all. And I even started the day with my favourite poached eggs. The problem came in the afternoon when I had to work on a carrot cake recipe. You should never bake carrot cake when you’re really hungry. I baked two [...]
Meatless in Seattle

In case you’re wondering if I’m taking part in Greta’s “Meatless in Seattle” endeavour this week, I’m not. I’m just sitting back and taking it all in, nodding in approval. You see, going without meat is something that comes very easy to me. Although I wouldn’t call myself a vegetarian (I love homemade burgers off [...]
Livin’ on the Vedge, Day 2

Made it! Two days down and 5 to go! So far, I’m not finding my meatless diet to be a problem at all. Today I visited three Toronto restaurants to do “location scouts” for our TV show: Meet the chefs, check out their kitchens, try their specialties and so forth. Our first stop involved eating [...]
Meal Kits at Costco!!

Hey everyone! We’ve been meaning to tell those of you in Ontario that two of our frozen meal kits (formerly “Stir Crazy” and “Worth Every Penne,” now “Sesame-Ginger Chicken Stir-Fry” and “Mediterrean Chicken Penne”) are now available in the frozen section at Costco. Cool! We’ve had tons of great feedback on the meals, so thanks [...]

Okay, so this vegetarian thing wasn’t bad at all today! For breakfast, I had my favourite Isagenix chocolate shake with a tablespoon of Salba mixed in. My mid-morning snack was my old standy, a peanut-butter-and-banana roll-up (whole grain tortilla slathered in peanut butter, insert banana and roll up)…simple and dee-lish. Lunch was very late as I [...]

Being a carnivore my entire life, I thought it would be an interesting experiment to go a full 7 days without eating ANY meat. No chicken, no fish, no pork, no meat of any kind. I will not eat anything that once had a beating heart. (Do fish have hearts? Well, even if they don’t, I’m not [...]
