This past week I’ve enjoyed playing with a few different inventions in the kitchen. I am a Kitchen Chemist, after all. Earlier this week I made a pot of Taiwan Jasmine rice with PC brand curry powder and an apple. Alongside, I cooked up some broccoli, but the piece-de-resistance was the coconut curry chicken. 2 […]

I spoke with several wonderful people over the course of that wonderful day, including our friend Bonnie-Jean from AskTheTeaLady.ca who makes some fantastic, healthy and […]

A week or so ago, I won a box of gluten free goodies from Conte Pasta Co in New Jersey. Hurricane Sandy slowed down the delivery, but it’s finally here! Frozen gluten free pizza, lasagne and ravioli… oh pasta, how I love thee…. I can’t wait to try it.
Today’s meals have been… strange, to say the least. Breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs with a frozen banana, strawberry and almond products smoothie. Lunch was corn chips with humus, garlic spread and rice Lupper, the family went to Place d’Orleans after we picked up our son from school. The boys had A&W while I went to […]
