Well, the new Canadian Food Guide is out and lentils are on top of the list along with beans & peas! To be honest, we were huge meat fans in this house. This changed after my health issues at the end of 2018. To be able to find alternatives, we turned a lot to protein substitutes, such as lentils. Furthermore, my son now has a girlfriend and she is vegetarian! You can imagine my excitement on being able to learn more on vegetarian cuisine and test recipes in my kitchen! Why not start with a soup that can be a meal?

You can use garlic powder… but you are missing out on several great properties fresh garlic can offer you!

In fact, we spend more than 24 hours a week online… that’s a full day! Continue reading “Some of my favorite bloggers are…”
Prep Day #45 – For the love of Stromboli!
Pizza is always a family pleasure. Everyone can get their craving fix with the different topping option. I love using Pizza sauce in other things than just Pizza dough, like my casserole! You can also use the dough and transform the Pizza in calzones. These are fun to make and everyone get’s their individual share. You can also prepare them ahead of time and freeze them for a later meal. However, tonight, I felt like making something we could share!
