Innovative Low Carb, Gluten-Free Recipes
I have to tell you, baking these mini loaves was quite an unexpected adventure. Everything was going just fine when I mixed them up and put them in the oven and I had no reason to suspect that they would lead to such chaos. It was a Friday night, the kids were just getting ready [...]
Ask many low carbers what they miss most about their old diet, and the vast majority of them will say pizza. I often say pizza, and I was never that much of a pizza fanatic. I was certainly not one of those people who ate pizza every day in university, although I liked it well [...]
I think part of what makes someone good at developing new recipes is the ability to notice the properties of one recipe and translate it into a whole different recipe altogether. This is a skill I seem to have developed over the past few years and I think I must have a mental filing cabinet [...]
I would say that green tea is definitely an acquired taste. I suppose the same can be said for black tea and coffee and other bitter hot beverages. But I grew up drinking those and only came around to green tea slowly. I remember some awful cups of it served at mediocre Chinese restaurants in [...]
I’m a big proponent of the idea that if you have a good thing going, you have to use it to your advantage. You have to grab the bull by the horns, and really go after it, and take that good thing to new heights. Don’t let it languish, but do all in your power [...]
We have quite a large cookbook/cooking magazine collection in this house. So large, in fact, that we have a whole IKEA bookshelf devoted to containing these items. It’s not quite full yet, but it’s definitely on its way there. The strange part is that I don’t actually buy cookbooks anymore, as I get most of [...]

It’s always been one of my favourite breakfast items, and for a kid just learning the ways of the kitchen, it’s a relatively straightforward dish. Crack some eggs, whisk with cream, dip the bread and [...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Carapelli. All opinions are 100% mine. It’s funny to look back and think what foods I love now that were not a regular part of my diet growing up. Foods that I’d never heard of, that weren’t even a part of my food vocabulary, [...]
Apparently I have been downgraded. Yes, my friends, sad but true. I did not spend enough money at Starbucks over the past year to remain in the Gold Level, so I have been downgraded to the lowly Green Level. I blame my children. See, my children adore Starbucks, and it’s gotten to the point where [...]
Yeast bread. It is the nemesis of many a baker, as it is finicky and often takes a deft and practiced hand to come out right. And it’s even trickier for those trying to go low carb. There is something nearly magical about the interplay of wheat flour and yeast, the way the gluten traps [...]
