I recently went to a naturopath to determine my crazy allergic reactions. During the past 3-4 years, I’ve noticed that I would get really upset stomachs from eating anything from the onion family. In the past year, I’ve woken up numerous times with swollen eyes and face. I suspected multiple things from shampoo, vitamin pills,…

Hello Kitty “Recipe for 20 Cookies”
Have you ever found a recipe in an odd place and wanted to try it? That’s what happened to me. I bought some Hello Kitty marshmallows because I loved the cute packaging and also wanted to eat some marshmallows. When I opened the package, I found a sticker that showed the ingredients for “20 cookies”….
Mille – Crepe Cake with Matcha Filling
A mille-crepe cake is a cake made of 20 layers of crepes. This version of the crepe cake uses a matcha whip cream filling instead of the classic pastry cream. I love the look of this cake when it is cut! Start by making the crepes. This is the longest and tedious task!! I used…

Biscuits!!
Biscuits are such an easy thing to make and works well with just about any meals. Make them with different spices and herbs to change the flavour of them. I’ve decided to make 3 different types of biscuits. A rosemary onion biscuit, a gluten free version and a dog friendly one. Start the biscuit recipe…
IceBox Cookies
Icebox cookies are buttery cookies that are shaped and then cut. At first when we tried making them, we would stick them in the freezer (doesn’t that make sense when you call it icebox??). We found that when we did, the cookie logs would be really hard to cut. We later learned that refrigerators used…
Shaved Zucchini Salad
Salads can be a very boring or interesting. When people think of salads, they think of leafy greens or even something like pasta salads. I came across this salad idea from a friend. She used a grater to create zucchini pasta. I thought it was neat and remembered that there was salad that was created…

Examples of natural edible pH indicators include blueberries, beets, onions, curry and cherries. These indicators change colour depending on the pH of the solution. My favourite pH indicator is red cabbage. It is easily found in…
