October 11th is World Egg Day, the day we celebrate the humble egg and the farmers who get them to our table. In 2018, Canadian Farmers produced an astounding 752 million dozen eggs! I haven't done an "official" count but I'm confident at least a million of those eggs have been consumed in my house. With certainty I can at the very least say I hard boil 624 eggs a year. Over 1,000 egg farming families from coast to coast work under the system of supply management to produce Canadian …
Cranberry Turkey Bowtie Salad
It's almost Thanksgiving and you know that means. Turkey. Lots and lots o' turkey. Aside from time spent deciding how to cook the perfect turkey, I spend as much time deciding how to get rid of the leftovers.

Greek Chicken Salad – Bring on Summer
Last year, I started a second job at a coffee shop and it was heaven — all the coffee I could dream of, right at my fingertips! The problem was, along with a ready supply of caffeine, there were tempting, sugary treats emitting their siren call all day long, too. Juggling two jobs wasn't that difficult, but it wreaked havoc on my diet. Running from one place to another with so much unhealthy food nearby was a surefire recipe for disaster. When you're busy and tired, it's just easier to …
Roasted Garlic Caesar Salad For Garlic Lovers
I am a garlic lover. I mean - onions are fine, and shallots are even better - but if you're looking for the star of the allium family, it's garlic.
