I'm excited to announce that Wild Seed will have a 12 week yoga flow through winter!

Hatha Flow Wednesdays

I invite you to join me in Herring Cove Nova Scotia around the wood stove for a slow flow practice focused on posture alignment and the breath. Rooting and re-grounding, opening the heart and mind to peace created within. These classes will focus on slow progression to warming the body and awakening the core with deep but gentle stretching to create spaciousness in the body and stillness in the mind.

This class is excellent for someone beginning on their yoga journey or looking for a slow relaxing flow in a nurturing supportive space. All levels. Stay warm through winter and join us around the fire.

Apple Crumble Granola Goodness

16/11/2017

We eat oats almost every single day, so it's important for our palates to keep it full of different flavors and textures to keep things interesting. We usually top it with nuts and seeds that vary by the week. Cinnamon is a regular for sweetness, fruit, berries, or whatever loveliness I can find to make an inviting bowl of nutritious oats.

We eat a plant based diet so oats are one of the easy ways for us to start are day with an excellent plant based protein, with healthy fats and fibre, 1 cup of cooked rolled oats has apx 10 grams of protein. Add some nuts and seeds and we're stable and full until lunch.

This week, the East Coast is starting to turn grey and cold, it's staying darker later into the mornings, and I needed something more than fruits and nuts to invite me to the breakfast table on cold mornings when it's hard to get out from under the warm covers! Someone was also asking for something crunchy to accompany his waning love of oats; so this is what I came up with.

This is such a simple recipe I thought I would quickly share this goodness with the world! There will be 2 things I will eventually change with this recipe but for what I had in the kitchen, and wow was it yummy!

So my Sister always makes the best apple crisp for deserts when we go to visit, it's warm and delicious and makes me feel all of those lovely feelings whenever I even smell it! That was the kind of feeling I was in but it wasn't after dinner, it was before breakfast!

The urge was to make an apple crumble for breakfast, it's got oats and apples and it wouldn't be the worst desert you could eat for breakfast?!?!...

Always looking to include the yumminess of the world in the healthiest ways I decided not to eat the dessert for breakfast solely, but to add it to the top of my regularly scheduled breaky.

So before you head to the recipe page to check out this delish addition to breakfast, I just want to talk about what I will upgrade with this apple crumble granola 2.0.

First, if I had dates in the house, I would switch out the added coconut sugar for minced dates, they add sweetness with a natural unrefined sugar, but the coconut is what I had at hand.

Second; I might have dehydrated the small apple square first, then mixing them into the granola. This method will keep for a longer period of time, but I'm going to guess this granola might be gone by the end of the weekend as is.

I'll let you know how the updates go when I make the next batch but for now I hope you can enjoy a little sprinkling of goodness atop your steel cuts, or yoghurt, of even some chia pudding!

I can't wait to try it on my homemade oatgurt recipe.

Experiment, go with what you have and improve on any kitchen creation! Find your own Kitchen Bliss!

Have fun, laugh often, and keep it real with everything including your food!

Wild Seed has Sprouted in Nova Scotia

I'm so excited to announce that our Wild Seeds have blown as close to as far East in Canada as one could go and we are finding ground and laying our roots down!

Wow what an amazing journey across Canada we have had, exploring communities, connecting with new friends, and finding our flow.

In the few short weeks that we have been here we have been able to navigate the Halifax Seaport Farmers Market with a range of Growers and Artisans, open year round to connect farmers and consumers in an amazing way. We've discovering an abundance of organic local growers, a wide CSA (community supported agriculture) network, Holistic Healers, and a connected and engaged community.

Cody and I feel grateful to be able to find a lot of our staples were grown very close to home! Nova Scotia has welcomed us warmly and offered some amazing opportunities in the short time we have been here and we are just as excited to see what we can offer back to this connected and beautiful community!

Wild Seed has a new contact number and as always you can connect with us through the website.
