It seems over the past 5 years or so, there has been a big boom in the gluten-free industry. From both the manufacturing side with many more products available and I’ve been hearing more and more about people trying out the gluten-free diet for reasons other than celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I am not [...]

At the start of the year, I made myself a promise. Not really like a new year’s resolution, but a goal of mine to take more time for me. I admit I have been bad about putting myself on the priority list and after a while, that really wears on you. One thing I promised [...]

I am a big fan of soup, but for some reason it’s not a consistent item on our weekly menu. Most soups are quick and simple to make and you can throw in as many vegetables as you like — making it as healthy and hearty as you want. I’ve been trying to test foods that are [...]

I love crunch and I love salt and seasoning when it comes to my snacks. I am a big potato or corn chip fan, but wanting to cut down on the carbohydrates and the unhealthy snacks, I’ve been on the hunt for something better for me. I don’t want to compromise on the texture though [...]

One of my favourite things about being a mom has to be watching my kids develop into who they are going to be. They all have very unique personalities and it’s easy to see what they love and what they can’t stand. Bean loves all things fashion. Yes, I buy the clothes, but she comes [...]

I haven’t really met anyone who doesn’t love bacon. I know my house is a big fan and with there being 5 of us here, making bacon for all of us used to be a chore. A big, messy, probably-going-to-burn-myself ordeal and it really wasn’t a good scene for me. I have discovered though, that we can [...]

When I tell someone that we’re on a gluten-free diet at home, I am often asked what we eat. I can say that when I first went on the diet, I was worried that our meals would be boring, that they would be limited and difficult to keep things fresh and new. Guess what? There [...]

Late last week, Bean and I were struck down with a cold that left little appetite in either of us. The best thing when your sick seems to be allowing yourself to get a lot of rest, drink water and of course, feed yourself with warm, harty soup. We’re both big fans of Pho soup [...]

There are sometimes where all you want is something hearty, good for the cold weather and not particularly good for you. One of my favourite comfort foods has to be macaroni and cheese. I don’t have it too often since I shouldn’t really be eating dairy and my husband certainly can’t handle the lactose, but [...]
