Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

Originally intended to simply focus on book reviews, over time, KaliDesautelsReads has morphed into its own entity. I write about issues that are near to my heart, be they political, feminist, motherhood, mental health, or, as the title holds, books. A thirty-something Canadian woman in my mid-thirties, I have been “super married” to my high school sweetheart since 2006, and together we have two crazy, clever, kind, hilarious, wonderful kids. My first book – How Not To Blog: Finding Myself, One Post at a Time is available on Amazon (in eBook formats for you clever tech readers, and paperback for those of us who love that new book smell!) I have tried a podcast – it’s still on Apple and Google Podcasts – but writing is where my heart is. My life changed dramatically when my husband was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2018, and I am now a writer for a leading Canadian Cancer Non-Profit. I am lucky enough to have a family that loves me and pushes me to be my best, even if it is outside of my cushiony comfort zone. I have a village of friends that nourish me, mentally, and spiritually. Welcome to my thoughts. Sit down. Stay a while. Enjoy a cup of coffee!

Learning Curve To Juicing…

Juicing has been such a learning curve for us. It turns out that the kids and I just throwing a bunch of fruit and veggies in the juicer does NOT make for a delicious meal replacement for my poor husband. So, some recipe blogs and books later, we are starting to find our footing. This one contains:

• carrot juice • mango juice • ginger • orange juice • almond milk • cinnamon • coconut oil • steel cut oats • and chia seeds •

The chia seeds are added for mine, as the fibre from them is too intense for Dave’s system at the moment. They do add protein, fat and texture to the juice for me.
