A delicious, healthy food topping that works at breakfast, lunch and dinner? Introducing: Chef Michelle's Spiced Apples

What would you do if you had no fear? Someone asked me this yesterday and I had to really think about it. So here is my answer: I would tell my story. So here we go.... I was born in Jamaica and immigrated to Canada when I was 10 years old. I do not speak with an accent because there was so much pressure to conform and not stick out. I have never forgotten my roots. Truthfully my years in Jamaica living with my family and Granny have shaped my love of food and understanding of how to cook with my whole heart. She did everything from scratch without a cookbook. She grew vegetables in our kitchen garden which she often used to make our meals. I felt loved and protected and had the freedom to be myself in those early years. Today as an entrepreneur, mom of 5, and wife, I want to share my love of food with you. My food philosophy is this: grow as much of your own food as you can and eat it! That is what I am trying to do. I want to share my journey with you so that the fear of being seen and truly being known will no longer control me. #liveyourbestlife #liveyourdream #liveyouradventure #truth #fear #foodsolved #CNEprogram #growyourownfood #granny #glutenfree #dairyfree #farmtotable #farmtofork #garden #gardening #farming #kitchengarden

First experiment with gluten-free Jamaican patties. Not bad actually. Will tweak the filling and the pastry, but determined to make it work.

First time ordering the Good Food Box from @yorkregionfoodnetwork Fresh produce, an amazing curbside pickup experience, and now I get to play with my food.

Delightful! #freshproduce #foodsolved #foodbox #salad #fresh #vegetables #veggies #produce #melons #peppers #plums #salad #curbsidepickup #cneprogram #spinach #canteloupe #zucchini #foodnetwork @ Aurora, Ontario

My first salad of the season from my kitchen garden. Beet greens, pea shoots, young radish greens, and my lone radish. Made a simple vinaigrette with kumbucha and herbs. It was a little bitter so I added fresh mango to balance the flavour. Delightful. ... New salad possibilities growing everyday. #firstfruits #foodsolved #cneprogram #growyourownfood #gardening #kitchengarden #salad #gardensalad #beets #peashoots #radish #radishgreens #beetgreens #mango #kumbucha #herbs #possibilities #kitchen #garden #gardening #farmtotable #farmtofork #flavours #vinaigrette
