Fantastic and flavourful, this salad is a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. It’s from Feasting At Home’s, Carrot Raisin Salad. The recipe provides different options but this is what we did and it was delicious. Ingredients 4-5 cups carrots, grated Zest of …
It’s fall and cabbage is in season. I LOVE sauerkraut so I thought I’d have a go at making my own. It’s surprisingly easy. Slice cabbage fine, salt it, let it rest for a bit, add seasonings (if you want them), and squish the bejeesus …
One of my resolutions for 2022 is to do what I can to combat food waste. That means when I go to the local green grocer I look for the veg that is on special and needs to be used immediately. Today Kin’s Apple Farm …

These Apricot Cranberry Energy Bars are inspired by the Apricot Chia Bars on Cupcakes and Kale Chips. I used sayer dates and added cranberries instead of the white chocolate (not a fan, it’s NOT chocolate!) Ingredients 1 cup pitted sayer dates, soaked in very hot …
Somehow I ended up with two packages of coconut flour, two large jars of raspberry jam, and two packages of best brown sugar. No, this was not because of pandemic shopping. When this kind of thing happens it’s the universe (and my Scottish heritage) telling …
This Chocolate Pecan Energy Balls recipe is based on Choosing Chia’s Chocolate Energy Ball recipe (thanks again Jess!). I’m not crazy about walnuts so I used pecans and sayer dates instead of medjool dates (it’s what I had). I also added a teaspoon of vanilla …
