Mayonnaise has a very bad reputation, and honestly, that's probably for good reason. At least that's the case for the junk sold at the grocery store! Do you know what actually goes into real mayo? It's simple: raw egg, oil and lemon or vinegar. Simple, straight forward and depending on ...

When people ask what my favourite kitchen tool is, most expect me to say my Blendtec. And while I LOVE this luxurious item, it’s #3 on my list. First and foremost is my food processor. If I had to choose just 1 kitchen gadget, it would be that, without a ...

Have you ever thought about how many different variations of flour + dairy + sugar make up our breakfasts in North America? It's pretty astounding! Whether it's a bagel & cream cheese, a bowl of cereal, toast with jam, eggo waffles and "maple syrup" (i.e. corn syrup + maple flavour), ...

I absolutely love large pots of meat and veggies - stew, soup, chili - whatever you want to call it, I'm down. Especially on these crazy cold days we've been having lately! I find if I make a big pot o'deliciousness on Sunday for dinner, it's so easy to choose ...

Pulled pork is something I discovered late in life. Due to a totally destroyed digestive tract for most of my life, I couldn't tolerate anything with fat. So when I discovered pulled pork, after healing my gut, oh man was I in heaven! Not only does it taste incredible, but ...

Couscous is a funny food. Somehow it is thought of as healthy, kind of like quinoa (not saying quinoa is a superfood, but it's certainly better than wonder bread...for some people). I can't even count the number of times someone has said this exact phrase: "We eat really healthy - ...

Let's try and think about the perfect food for supporting your joints. It would have to contain the exact nutrients that your body needs to build your joint tissue, right? So it would need to contain protein, but not just any protein. The exact ratio of amino acids (protein building ...

One of the most frequent questions I get from clients is for more breakfast options. To be honest, I find it fascinating that people can have a bagel and cream cheese every single day for breakfast and not get bored, but bacon and eggs? Nope, bored. Everyone wants cereal! I'm ...

Soup is probably my husband's favourite thing to eat, ever. If I made soup (or stew for that matter) every day for the rest of our lives, he would be thrilled. Talk about simple pleasures eh? Luckily I love soup too - for many reasons! I get chilled easily, and ...

Ahhh spaghetti. The epitome of comfort food. Slurping up those noodles, dripping in tomato sauce and covered in parm! Actually as a kid I was slurping up noodles covered in Becel margarine covered in parm...and I wonder why my belly was always sore! However, once I made it over to ...

Brussels Sprouts. The poor vegetable that has been demonized by our society! I hadn't even tried Brussels sprouts, but I knew I didn't like them because....wait, I didn't actually know why. So when a few years ago I received them in my vegetable CSA I was actually pretty stoked to ...

Banana muffins are my favourite. When I was little I used to always ask my mom to make "na-na muff-uffs", which unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) means that's still what we call banana muffins in my parents house! They may or may not have a ...
