I tried Evive Smoothies for the first time! – first impressions + a coupon code

Gluten-free Mini Egg donuts
With being stuck at home, we've been baking up a storm in our house over the past couple of weeks and also experimenting with different recipes. (I'm totally a stress-baker and a stress-eater.)

Canning for the first time with Bernardin – my grandmother’s red pepper jelly recipe!

Fall is my favourite time of year for a number of reasons: the weather, the colours, the clothes, and the food. Oh, the food! What is it about fall foods that makes it so comforting? Apple cider, pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie, my mom's homemade apple sauce (speaking of which, mom if ...
Recipe: Coconut Vanilla Ice Cream + Strawberry Puree
One of my favourite childhood memories is that every summer, my grandmother, mom, sister, aunt and cousins and I would all go strawberry picking. Growing up, my grandparents had a farm in Creemore, ON that was kind of like our family's cottage. The entire family was there every holiday, and for ...
Refreshing and Cooling Smoothie, Perfect for Summer!
I'll be honest - I've never been one to eat enough fruits and (especially) vegetables in a day, so I love smoothies for this reason. Smoothies are such a great way to incorporate some more fruit and veggies into your diet, without it feeling like a chore. My rule of thumb when I'm making ...
