LIMITED EDITION: Flash News! A coffee for photography fans

F/8 SPECIAL EDITION BLEND created for PhotoED Magazine

Print is not dead! And how fabulous to enjoy a fresh Canadian magazine with your coffee - at home. We tasted a lot of coffees to come up with the f/8 special edition. Rita, PhotoED’s editor, suggested a fruity and floral, lighter roast and we think this Kenyan and Ethiopian blend is a perfect fit.

Steel Cut Granola

Most mornings, I start the day with a big mug of coffee (Sparkplug, of course) and a bowl of homemade granola mixed with yogurt and fruit (fresh or dried, depending on my mood and laziness level. Dried is easier and faster.)

I recently bought a giant bag of organic, quick-cooking steel cut oats which led me to wonder how they would work in granola. Some googling and experimenting with a favourite base granola recipe led to this recipe. It's a teeny bit sweeter than my usual recipe but WAY less sweet than grocery store granolas. And is crazy high in fiber, protein and deliciousness.

MBSR 2017 Recap

Team WILD brings nature to the MBSR

Here is a recap of his experiences written by my honeybee, Joe - Rider #54 - sent out to the people who sponsored his ride and helped him raise over $600 of the $10,000 in donations for Big Brothers Big Sisters of London. 

Instead of riding the route this year, I ran two mandatory checkpoints and had so much fun seeing all of the riders, in all their fun costumes, along the rally route. Already planning for 2019!
