Are you nodding in agreement or shouting at me in protest? Let’s be clear: oat intolerance is less common but a real problem for some Celiacs. The exact reason why isn’t known.

It’s peach season! I’m stating the obvious. I know. We'll move on. I saw a helpful sign at the grocery store about ripe peaches. Know how to choose a ripe peach without squeezing it? Its colour! Dark red or dark orange tones mean the peach got a lot of sunshine. It's ready to eat! This weekend, I posted a photo of a baked peach topped with granola on Instagram.

To me, ground cardamom is sweet and floral which is why it blends so well with desserts. Cardamom is made up of blended seed pods from plants in

We’re all familiar with the saying, Mom knows best. Probably because she so often does. My mom’s favourite childhood dessert was bibingka. It’s a Filipino coconut rice cake baked in banana leaves that’s often topped off with salted duck egg or cheese. Or if you’re lucky: both! I decided to surprise Mom and make bibingka for her over the holidays. I knew I’d perfected the recipe when she ate a second one at breakfast. I almost did backflips when I heard the news. Bibingka is a

Are you excited for the holidays? Tis the season to spend time with loved ones and eat a lot of food. Families that cook together probably also drink together - or is that stay together? Another thing you can do together is make zucchini fritters. I mean, obviously. I suggest you leave the peel on the zucchini for some extra fibre and also because: PRETTY!
