SIAL 2017, was, as usual, overwhelming. So many brands not yet in the GTA, or even Ontario or Canada, period! Of course, there are brands which are already here, like Fontaine Santé, known for its hummus (they were sampling just about everything they had – including beet hummus (which isn’t available everywhere). And now, they […]
I think this is only my second post using the dessert basket! The remaining two contestants were to make a dessert using sprinkle donuts, pomelo, peanuts and licorice babies (licorice bits). I had first thought of making some sort of deconstructed dish, but it just dawned on me…cake pops. Sure, they’re not really a “thing” […]
A while back, I made the mistake of purchasing vanilla yogurt instead of plain for a curry dish I had planned to cook. Whoops! I ended up making something else with the chicken due to the mistake. However, on Chopped Canada this past weekend, vanilla yogurt was part of the mandatory ingredients list for the […]

My husband is a non-observant Jew and I’m a lapsed Catholic who was educated in an Anglican girls’ school (I guess I’m an unofficial lapsed Anglican). However, despite not […]
The wonderful people over at Fleishman-Hillard recently sent me three tubs of Astro Original Greek Yogourt each in different flavours – plain, strawberry and honey. I have to admit that I rarely eat flavoured yogurts, opting for plain and either low-fat or fat-free. The ones I was sent were full-on fat. I was hesitant at […]
This is a very easy recipe that I based out of a healthy eating cookbook. There isn’t much prep needed, nor does it take a great deal of time. Ingredients needed: Fat-free yogurt Garlic Salt Chicken breasts 1. In a bowl, mix half a cup of fat-free yogurt with two cloves of garlic and a […]
