CRAZY APPLES? SANITY PLEASE!

A friend recently told me about “Crazy Apples“. It took me a little while to view their website as I can’t view flash sites on my phone and my laptop is so antiquated that I no longer have flash on it. Hopefully, you don’t have the same problems!

Chocolate & Hemp Protein Shakes by Randi

So my Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake is seriously one of my favorite protein shakes EVER. I’ve made it a million times, and it still hits the spot.
I started whipping up these sweet mugs when I was preggers. This quickly became part of my morning ritual, since I loved waking up and making a tall ...

Summer Fresh Challenge: Butter Chicken

Back at the Summer Fresh recipe challenge with the second fresh sauce, Butter Chicken. To be honest, I made another recipe, a biryani, using the sauce but because it was labour intensive, I went back to the drawing board. And since I will put just about anything in a taco, I give you... Read More.

FRENCH ONION SOUP

Hot damn! Literally. I chronically burn my tongue on the good ‘ol French onion soup every time I have it. I blame the fact that its so ooey, gooey, cheesy, and oniony – I just can’t wait. This is such a razzy little supper treat. Not only does the smell of glorious onions fill your house, it fill... Read More.

A hospital bed is a parked taxi with the meter running. – Groucho Marx and Japanese Crusted Chicken

Why is it when I’m forced to deal with insurance companies I end up wanting to throw myself off a bridge? Truly they are the most frustrating entities to try to conduct business with. As I wrote some blogs back, I spent five days in the hospital the beginning of January. I was conveyed there i... Read More.

Heart & Home [Coconut Flank & Broccoli Salad with Peanuts and Basil]

I’m sorry… did I go to Mexico or was that just a sublime delusion?
I blinked and it was over. Days on days of burying my nose in My Berlin Kitchen, romancing over a life that wasn’t nearly mine, sipping piquante bloody mary’s or mojitos while observing a motley crew of intensely-hued tropical f...

RESTLESS SLEEP AND BLOOD SUGAR

I don’t know how my friend finds these people… Another gem of a quote from a personal trainer posted on facebook and twitter:
A common cause of restless sleep is low blood sugar. To combat this try eating a stalk of celery with some almond butter or a small handful of nuts before bed. The slow d...

DR OZ ENDORSES NOTHING

Really?? Then what do you call what happens on every episode of your show? When you say: “What’s the one supplement that everyone should take for X?” Or, list the superfoods that everyone should be eating to cure myriad ailments, lose weight, etc. Those sure look like endorsements to me.

Housework is something you do that nobody notices until you don’t do it. – Anon and Cheesy Potato St

Yesterday while folding laundry I caught the end of an afternoon talk show with the topic of discussion a woman on strike in an effort to get her husband and three daughters to help around the house. On the hot seat was the much maligned husband who, when asked why he didn’t offer more by way of... Read More.

FRUIT: CAUSE AND CURE FOR CANCER?

A relative recently forwarded me a chain email that she had received several times, suggesting it might be useful blog fodder. The subject line read: Eating Fruit – In Perspective. The message was rather long so I’m not going to paste the whole thing in here. I’ll just give you a summary of the m... Read More.

BlueWater Seafood's new Gluten-Free Options & Giveaway

Recently I was offered a free product coupon to purchase some of the new BlueWater Seafood's new Grill Fish options, all of which are now gluten-free. None of us (thankfully) need to follow a gluten-free diet, so my review of them will simply be on the ease of preparation and of course, most imp... Read More.

this weekend

Several people asked about the Life-Changing Bread I posted about yesterday. Here it is. It tastes pretty much like it looks (healthy!), but something delicious happens when slices are toasted and the seeds get all crunchy and yummy. I think I maybe should have added a tiny bit more liquid when I... Read More.

I'll say "yes" to Sushi Nami anytime!

One of the only meals that I'll never turn down is sushi. I have to be in the mood for pub food, pizza, Mexican or fine dining, but it's a rarity when I say "no" to some delicious raw fish. Of late, our favorite spot to go is Sushi Nami Royale. Read More.
