Summer’s here and that means it’s time for a trip to the berry patch. As a child, my mom would lug me, my brother and an armful of empty ice cream pails to our local U-Pick strawberry field. It was messy business crawling along the straw-packed rows of ripe berries. It was impossible to [...]
Homemade Gluten Free Granola
Crunchy. Really? Is that what they call people who do things like bake their own bread, grow their own veggies, and use cloth diapers on their baby’s behinds? If that’s the case, the generations before us must have been one crunchy bunch, because that is just the way life was then, out of necessity. [...]
Diagnosis: Delicious – Living Gluten-free to Treat Celiac Disease
May is Celiac Awareness Month and to help put emphasis on this, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Alison Gillmor of The Winnipeg Free Press, which is on new stands today (May 15, 2013). We talked about being diagnosed, what it was like to transition to a gluten-free life, and of course, [...]
Canada’s First Food Bloggers Conference, Eh?
There I was, in a room full of people I didn’t know, save for my benefactors – the two gals from the Manitoba Canola Growers – with whom I had been traveling. I was sure no one knew me as I sat picking out a few familiar faces from the people seated at other tables. [...]

To kick off the month, I thought I would share with you a nice little infographic courtesy of Gluten Dude.

Gluten-Free Spicy Chicken Taco Salad
My favorite dinners are the kind that are quick to prepare, yet full of flavour. Pasta dishes are always a good option, but as the weather gets warmer and the sun shines longer into the evening, it’s nice to have a repertoire of lighter, healthier salads as well. This Spicy Chicken Taco Salad is [...]

With prices everywhere rising out of our control, we are all looking for ways to save money when grocery shopping. One of the obvious way to save money on your grocery bill is to buy your items in bulk. Today I’m going to share how we save money by buying our ground beef in large [...]
Gluten-Free Dutch Oven Cheddar and Beer Bread
When it comes to developing new gluten-free recipes in my kitchen, I must admit, I enjoy playing with bread recipes. Although I’ve had a fair amount of success with cakes, like the Devil’s Food Cake, I do find it more difficult to get the right texture when it comes to cake. I am still [...]
