National Farting Day

Your heart is doing a happy dance every time you eat a pulse. If the only reason you aren’t eating pulses is because of the tooting effect, I say celebrate the toot! Check out Tracy Moore and I on Cityline talking about the power of pulses.
March 1 is National Farting Day aka – eat more Pulses Day. It is my personal quest to encourage you to include these heart healthy GI loving foods into your eating style.
I have loads of recipes on my website for you to try: Spicy Red Lentil Soup, Red Lentil Waffles, South of the Border Roll ups, Wheatberry and Lentil Salad, Black Bean Chipotle Chili, or Mixed Bean Salad. to name six. There are more.
My newest cookbook Peace, Love and Fibre: over 100 fibre-rich recipes for the whole family will be in bookstores starting on May 7 is chock full of recipes using pulses as well as vegetables, fruits, flaxseed, and whole grains. If it’s a fibre rich food, it’s in my cookbook.
To celebrate National Farting Day, I’ll be giving away a signed copy of Peace, Love and Fibre to one of my followers. Just tag me on March 1 on either my Instagram page or my Facebook Fan page (search @mairlyn.smith) or Twitter page using #peaceloveandfibre and tell me your favourite recipe using a pulse is: beans, chickpeas, lentils or split peas.
I’ll randomly choose a name from the tweets, posts and comments on March 13 on my Facebook Live show (search @mairlyn.smith on Facebook to find me) at 8:00 EST.
I’ll be posting recipes and tips on fibre and pulses on Friday, March 1 on Twitter and on my Instagram page as well as Instastory.
Here’s to heart health #NationalFartingDay and having more #peaceloveandfibre in your life.

I am so sorry you will not be doing “My Left Frypan” anymore. I looked forward to watching you each week, as well as reviewing previous episodes. Your humour, laughter and of course knowledge of preparing food was contagious. I will certainly miss you, it was like watching an old friend. I hope everything will work out for you.
Truly wishing you Peace, Love and Fibre.
Bonnie
I do try to catch you on city line, but it is not the same.

It was sad to say good bye, but who knows what will happen next, I’m hoping something new comes along.
Thanks for being a fan and a supporter.
Peace, love and fibre,
Mairlyn
