Simple, Nutritious Gluten Free & Dairy Free Recipes
The other day I found myself in Bulk Barn. If any of you don’t know what Bulk Barn is I’ll tell you…it’s a dangerous place. There are literally bins, and bins, and bins of nuts, seeds, dried fruits, grains, flours, candy, a heck of a lot of candy, chocolate, powders, potions, elixirs (ok, maybe not
Does it mean I’m getting old when I haven’t even thought about Halloween except for what kind of treats I can make for the blog? In my younger years (…my early 20’s?) used to have a costume picked out, a multitude of parties to choose from, plans, excitement, the whole thing. Maybe, subconsciously I just

I am having an absolutely awesome time in San Francisco getting my fill of delicious food including fresh seafood (which is my ultimate favourite as we just don’t get it that fresh in the prairies)! If you want to see what I’ve been doing as well as WHERE and WHAT I’ve been eating,
The other weekend we took a trip to Calgary for the Stampede! Whenever the Hubby and I are in Calgary we stop at this wonderful grocery store called Community Natural Foods. The market has a great little deli/cafe where we load up on delicious dishes (think ‘Whole Foods’ concept) and get in some healthy eats! This
Ever since a BC Trip we took a few years ago I’ve had an intense love for apricots. Of course, British Columbia apricots are some of the best, and luckily we can get them here in Alberta when they are brought into the stores or when SPUD is carrying them! I had bought a nice
