With the always rising costs of food, and many people focusing more on eating healthy, nutritious food, I think we are all looking for ways to eat better, but save money at the same time. One easy way to do that is by growing your own fruit and vegetables! Did you know that less than […]
Peanut Butter Snack Bite Recipes
A few weeks ago I shared with you my recipe for Choco-Coco Peanut Butter Snack Bites, which are made using Kraft All Natural Smooth Peanut Butter. These snack bites are a snacking staple in our house! Since then I’ve had the opportunity to make a batch with my niece Emma, who is quite the ball […]
No-Bake Berry Crumble Icebox Cake
Here in Canada today is Victoria Day. It’s one of those holidays that is only sort of a holiday, with many people still having to work and not getting to enjoy a long weekend. But that doesn’t mean you can’t still celebrate in your own way – and a special dessert is always a great […]
IBS: The Food Frustration
It’s ironic (or maybe it’s not) that as I sit down to write this post on the frustrations of eating with IBS, my belly is bloated, feels awful and is making all sorts of weird gurgling sounds. After last month’s post talking about how my IBS has decided to flair-up after being pretty quiet and […]
Choco-Coco Peanut Butter Snack Bites
I’ve written about it before, but one of the easiest ways to ensure you eat healthy throughout the week, is to have healthy snacks pre-made and ready to go. One of my favourite snacks to make on the weekends are Peanut Butter Snack Bites made using Kraft All Natural Smooth Peanut Butter. They give you […]
IBS: An Unwelcome Visitor
The past month or so I’ve noticed that foods that haven’t bothered me in well over a year are starting to once again bother me. I’m noticing more and more days where I end up with a bloated belly, uncomfortable abdominal pains, and digestive upset. It would appear that my IBS which has been leaving me alone […]
Spinach Dip Appetizers
I love spinach dip, especially if it’s homemade. And when I go to a party or potluck and see a lovely bread bowl filled with the stuff I know I’m in the danger zone. Why? Because I simply cannot have one or two “dips” and walk away. I want to set up shop next to […]
Adding Probiotics to Your Diet
About a year and a half ago I learned about kefir. A cultured milk product that is full of probiotics (nearly double than that found in yogurt) and healthy gut bacteria. It is a great way to begin adding probiotics to your diet without going too far down a “weird fermented food” rabbit hole. For a […]
I Don’t Even Miss It… #CoolerWithAlmondBreeze
It’s been a little over four weeks since I started the #CoolerWithAlmondBreeze challenge, and you know what? I haven’t missed having cows milk in the house at all. Before I continue, I want to say that I actually enjoy cows milk, and still drink it. But, I typically only used it for my cereal, cooking and […]
Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts
I’ve got a little secret. Yup, it’s true! I heart hemp hearts. More specifically Manitoba Harvest hemp hearts! For anyone who has never tried hemp hearts, I find they taste a lot like a chopped walnut, others compare them more to a sesame seed or pine nut. Any way you look at it, you can […]
