Kale - Healthy Mama - Windsor, Ontario - YQG
Eats & Drinks

Healthy Mama

The wellness movement is gaining a lot of traction in the Windsor area – a very welcomed breath of fresh air for those who prefer kombucha and kale chips to beer and chicken wings. And although “gentrification” may have a negative connotation in some cities, I feel we’re in the perfect position to be open to outside influences and alternative restaurants. Tecumseh’s, family-run Healthy Mama, is an easy breezy, laid-back vegan restaurant and wellness education hub that is perfect for the seasoned guru, private events, cooking classes or a first plunge into the concept of food as medicine.

Mateo Roksandic, the marketing manager and owner’s son explained how the whole “healthy mama” concept was born from his mother’s curiosity and self-tested research into ways to ditch the pills and prescriptions she found herself being urged into taking. After fine-tuning healthy recipes and frequently setting up at farmers markets, their raw/dehydrated crackers became a fan favourite and catapulted them into a full-time restaurant with a full plant-based menu, grab n’ go fridges and a mix of local products on display.

Their location, in the renovated Shore’s Edge Wellness Plaza, an old Knights of Columbus has become home to different businesses with the same vibe – as a yoga studio, aesthetician and natural soap maker for example. Their clientele, who come for the mostly local, mostly organic, seasonal food, is an eclectic mix of the “hip and creative foodies, health conscious 16-year-olds to a group of about 10 grannies who come in on Friday mornings”.

Thanks to Mateo, I now know what ashwagandha is, and that an absolutely fantastic faux-caesar salad is right around the corner. Teaching people like me about the healing properties of food is important to the Healthy Mama fam. They host cooking classes and workshops with educational nutritionists and naturopathic doctors that delve deeper into their favourite recipes and ingredients. The Mushroom Hub will also be hosting an upcoming event highlighting some of the “lesser known” properties of our favourite fungi varieties.

For dessert (which would be a sin to skip here) I suggest grabbing a Chalice Spice tea or Brewin’ Bros detox bevvy in this light and airy, Los Angeles/beach inspired eatery.  Healthy Mama has changing daily lunch specials, a spring/summer patio is planning a dinner menu soon!

Freya is one of our favourite spots in Detroit and it is also featured in the latest issue of the BCL magazine ~ Who else has been? 🙋🏼‍♀️

We cook, you eat. A food menu? How old-fashioned. At Freya, a multi-course meal, consisting of several small plates is paired meticulously with a corresponding beverage. The only important decision you'll make is what to have from the 'music menu' passed from guest to guest throughout the evening🎶

Perfect for the, "I don't know what I feel like tonight, you choose", person in your life-- as long as you're into Moodyman.

~What does 'supporting small business' mean to us?~

Helping hardworking visionaries to achieve their dreams is what we do at BCL. So we're unbelievably grateful that many of our favourite small business owners have become our real estate clients.

Amor and Mauricio, owners of Walkerville's Café Amor on Ottawa St., are just the kind of people we love to work with. They do everything it takes to make their dreams a reality — and they always do it with a smile 🤗. Fantastic coffee, a colourful atmosphere and excellent service; it's no wonder they were busting at the seams and needed an upgrade.
 
To secure their new location, we helped them navigate the process of selling properties, and purchasing off-market with non-traditional financing, construction and permitting. 

Their grit, perseverance, creativity and positive attitudes helped them keep their eyes on the prize throughout the entire process. As a result, we couldn't be happier to see them operating in a location double the size to accommodate their growing number of customers.

We’ve been quieter than usual this last quarter of 2022 as we hunkered down to work on something that has changed the direction of our company’s future. Until we’re able to share the news officially in 2023, we’d like to announce that our print magazine, blog and socials will begin to reflect more of our own projects after six years of documenting what’s been happening out there in the Windsor community.

Not to say that we won’t still be sharing our favourite destinations and designs with you, because we definitely still will be. Now, as it happens, many of our favourite, well-designed destinations throughout the county are BCL projects in some way. Connecting people with inspiring properties is what we do best, and we want to keep doing it!

From colourful, creative homes to the city’s best cafés, we’ll be pivoting to share stories with you of homes that BCL has designed as well as homes and properties that our clients have developed and reimagined in an inspiring way. 

We’ll also be documenting more behind-the-scenes of our staging projects, new BCL flips, and insights into how we believe thoughtfully acquired and developed real estate can make Windsor & Essex a more beautiful place for generations to come.

Happy Holidays and cheers to our clients, collaborators, friends and future clients-to-be!

~What does 'supporting small business' mean to us?~

Helping hardworking visionaries to achieve their dreams is what we do at BCL. So we're unbelievably grateful that many of our favourite small business owners have become our real estate clients.

Amor and Mauricio, owners of Walkerville's Café Amor on Ottawa St., are just the kind of people we love to work with. They do everything it takes to make their dreams a reality — and they always do it with a smile 🤗. Fantastic coffee, a colourful atmosphere and excellent service; it's no wonder they were busting at the seams and needed an upgrade.
 
To secure their new location, we helped them navigate the process of selling properties, and purchasing off-market with non-traditional financing, construction and permitting. 

Their grit, perseverance, creativity and positive attitudes helped them keep their eyes on the prize throughout the entire process. As a result, we couldn't be happier to see them operating in a location double the size to accommodate their growing number of customers.

2/5
We’ve been quieter than usual this last quarter of 2022 as we hunkered down to work on something that has changed the direction of our company’s future. Until we’re able to share the news officially in 2023, we’d like to announce that our print magazine, blog and socials will begin to reflect more of our own projects after six years of documenting what’s been happening out there in the Windsor community.

Not to say that we won’t still be sharing our favourite destinations and designs with you, because we definitely still will be. Now, as it happens, many of our favourite, well-designed destinations throughout the county are BCL projects in some way. Connecting people with inspiring properties is what we do best, and we want to keep doing it!

From colourful, creative homes to the city’s best cafés, we’ll be pivoting to share stories with you of homes that BCL has designed as well as homes and properties that our clients have developed and reimagined in an inspiring way. 

We’ll also be documenting more behind-the-scenes of our staging projects, new BCL flips, and insights into how we believe thoughtfully acquired and developed real estate can make Windsor & Essex a more beautiful place for generations to come.

Happy Holidays and cheers to our clients, collaborators, friends and future clients-to-be!
