Community is about place, spirit, belonging and connection. It is about joy, fear, love and hope. Community is also about friendship, caring and being cared for.
 These are the things that motivate us every day, and inspire us to laugh, smile and cry.
Great food, movies, music and stories bring us together. Our children, faith and friends help us define our sense of belonging and community.
Within these pages, we want to explore the very things that inspire life itself, and discover the very spirit that makes community so great!
In the heart of winter I often feel cold inside and out. Yes I am standing up to counted; I am one of those people who never quite understood the appeal of winter. Maybe it is the fact I grew up in British Columbia where snow and cold were seldom and never stayed long.
So now, as an adopted Ontarian, I need to find strategies for getting over winter. My favourite is to gather my friends and cook up a wonderful warming meal. The good food and conversation heat my inner being, making me believe that all is well in the world (despite it being minus 15 degrees outside).
Here is a new favourite for me and my friends. Yup! It is vegetarian. The Born Epp household is trying to do our part to get healthy and use less of the world’s resources. It is also so simple to make and uses sweet potatoes as a base making it ultra healthy. See my note about pureeing it before you add the peppers and chickpeas giving it an amazing taste. Oh and by the way tamari is soy sauce – well not really but good enough – use low sodium as it tastes just as good and does not take away from the health of this dish.
