Pizza Roll-Ups

Easy, really yummy, and easily customizable for the little ones. You can change up the veggies and fillings any way you want. Some options are: mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, pineapple, olives, different cheeses, meats, etc.

6-8 10-inch 100% whole grain wraps/tortillas

1.5 cups low-fat mozzerella, grated
1 package veggie pepperoni, cooked and crumbled turkey sausage or, bbq or grilled chicken, cut into chunks (optional)

1 tsp olive oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp fennel seeds
Crushed red chili flakes, to taste (optional)
4 sweet red/yellow/orange bell peppers, cut into strips
1 bunch rapini, or other greens, chopped
1 400-500ml jar bruchetta topping (I used tomato olive)
1 can tomato paste
Salt and pepper, to taste

In large skillet over medium heat, saute onion, garlic and spices in oil for a few minutes. Add peppers and continue cooking until onion and peppers have softened. Add greens, bruchetta topping, tomato paste and salt and pepper. Turn heat down to low and simmer until greens have wilted and everything has heated through. Add in veggie pepperoni, cooked meat, etc. at this point.

Meanwhile, sprinkle wraps with cheese. One at a time, place each on a non-stick baking sheet and fill with veggie mixture. Roll up and hold in place with a toothpick, if necessary. Place in oven at 400F until cheese has melted.

Makes 6-8 roll-ups (depending on number and amount of fillings you use).

Japanese 7-Spice Kelp Noodles

I love trying new spices and seasonings, so I am very excited that the President's Choice Black Label line now has a bunch of new spice blends available.  My most recent find: Shichimi Togarashi, or Japanese 7-Spice blend. It's a combination of crushed red chili flakes, sea salt, Szechiuan peppercorns, black and white sesame seeds, poppy seeds, orange zest, wasabi powder and nori seaweed flakes. I make Japanese-inspired dishes all the time, but resort to the same old flavours most of the time: miso, soy, sesame, ginger and garlic.  I was so excited to be able to liven things up a bit. This dish is easy and tasty, although be warned that this seasoning packs punch.  I used 1 tsp, which ended up being too spicy for me, and I have a high tolerance for heat!  I recommend 1/4-1/2 tsp, or, if you don't like heat at all, make your own at home and omit the red chili flakes.  You'll get all the flavour without the heat. I served these noodles with a mix of seafood (

Book Review: The A to Z of Children's Health

Hey there, welcome to Monday!  We had a delightful, relatively quiet weekend.  How was yours?  Hopefully no one in your home was sick...there is a lot of nasty stuff going around these days. If you're a parent, than you have probably spent far more time that you would like to desperately searching Google and/or parenting books trying to figure out if your child's rash, cough or fever warrants a trip to the doctor or if there is something that can be done to treat it.  It's hard not to worry that it could be something more ominous that just an every day infection and while you'd make yourself (and everyone around you) nuts if you panicked every time your kid has the sniffles, as a parent, you naturally want to do everything in your power to prevent your child from harm. Recently I was sent The A to Z of Children's Health , written by doctors Jeremy Friedman, Natasha Saunders, and Norman Saunders, of Toronto's very own Hospital for Sick Children .  One of th

How to Look Like a Celebrity

Okay, I know you're going to be interested in this post! I am sure virtually every woman in North America has wondered how Hollywood celebrities achieve such 'perfect' bodies.  Well, at CAN FIT PRO last week, one of Hollywood's top fitness trainers, Eric the Trainer , was there to tell us fitness professionals the secrets! Eric the Trainer, gave several presentations, and I caught the one on Celebrity Secrets, and it was most interesting!!!  I also found some of what he said rather disturbing. First off, he was very upfront about the fact that celebrities come to him for improve their appearance.  Not to improve their health or athletic performance.  To look their best.  He admitted that his approach then, is entirely dedicated to that end. Male and female celebrities are trained in completely different ways because Hollywood wants women to be lithe and thin and in his words, "look like they dropped out of heaven looking this way without every having ste
