Food, and most things associated with it, have earned a special place in my heart. I love to eat, as do most folks, I imagine, and I enjoy cooking as well, although I absolutely prefer consumption over preparation. Does anyone else find it positively enraging to consider how long it can take to create a … More A moment of appreciation for these food hacks
I will begin this post with utmost transparency and admit that I am not someone who uses milk thistle. The reason I picked milk thistle as a topic for today’s post is because my mom recently started using it at the recommendation of her naturopath, and because I’m not terribly well-versed in all things milk … More Should you be using milk thistle?
Lemongrass restaurant in Hamilton, Ontario, should be on your list of restaurants to visit if you’re a fan of Asian fusion cuisine.

When I sat down to write today’s post, I hit the wall hard when it came time to come up with a topic to discuss.

Despite working at a golf course for a couple of years, I am by no means a golfer. I do understand the game of golf, to almost an entire extent, but I’m not super savvy with all things golf, and I’m absolute shit when it comes to playing the game. For Easter this year, my … More This is your sign to have brunch at MontHill Golf and Country Club
For anyone who read the title of this post and thought of something inappropriate, get your damn mind out of the gutter. Noodles, for the sake of this post, refer to nothing more than types of pasta, and certainly are not making reference to a specific male appendage. If your mind did wander somewhere a … More What’s your noodle preference?
Earlier this week, my sister accompanied me on a much-needed Costco trip. I haven’t been to Costco for a hot minute, and I like to visit a few times a year to stock up on certain items, and also to peruse the shelves and see what is new and exciting. When my sister and I … More Need some energy? Try a ZOA
When I was still living with my parents, I often heard my mom express her frustration when it came to thinking of new things to cook for dinner.

When I sat down to write this post, I knew I wanted to share a recipe with all of you, but I was struggling to designate what specific dish I wanted to find a recipe for. I started brainstorming some popular foods that many of us consider comfort food, and I came to the sudden … More Read this to learn how to make some wicked lasagna
By absolutely no means do I consider myself a doctor, nor a healthcare expert for that matter. I firmly believe, though, that a hell of a lot more of us would benefit from learning some basics regarding medicine, healthcare and naturopathy, hence why I often write about topics related to these concepts. In regard to … More Should you be taking magnesium?
Anyone who has the (hopefully) pleasure of knowing me is certainly familiar with my snacking antics. I eat a lot, I eat regularly, and I love fruit, therefore a common snack food I enjoy is 100 per cent fruit bars that don’t contain any additional sugar. I have never been able to comprehend why the … More SunRype versus That’s It: a fruit bar showdown
I should probably make mention of the fact that while I am not certain I do have a chest infection, I’m pretty sure that is what I’m dealing with. I’ve had more than enough experience with them over the years, arguably because I smoke, and while just days ago the status of this shit in … More Here’s how to calm down a chest infection
I promise I won’t do a series pertaining to the many uses for apple cider vinegar as I did for baking soda. I could, but I digress. That is, after today’s post. My mom and sister gave me the impression that my baking soda saga was a wee bit excessive in terms of its duration, … More How do you use apple cider vinegar? (part two)
I’ve definitely discussed apple cider vinegar here on my blog before, but I don’t believe I really went into detail regarding the many different ways it can be used to achieve a variety of outcomes. Years ago, I drank a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar a day for a few months. This stuff offers a … More How do you use apple cider vinegar?
I do ask that you grant me the opportunity to acknowledge the title of today’s post and state that by no means do I intend to communicate any disrespect toward anyone in poverty. If I might add, I think it’s a wee bit sad I have to acknowledge this regardless, but given the state of … More Here’s how to make a poor man’s burrito bowl
This past weekend, Blaine and I had friends of ours over to see our home and have dinner. They saw our home prior to the completion of renovations, and further, the incorporation of furniture and other decor, so we figured it was due time to have them back out for them to see the progress … More Make this for dinner tonight
I firmly believe there are far too many people in this world who are entirely unaware of the tremendous potential and capabilities of baking soda. I imagine the majority of us use baking soda primarily for baking, with using it for cleaning purposes coming in hot as the secondary use for it. Buckle up, folks, … More Let’s hear it for baking soda
Yesterday’s post provided all of you with some information pertaining to how to go about composing some homemade dog treats, so it really is only fair that today’s post provides you with that same information, only this time, in the context of cats. I’m not someone who believes that people are either cat or dog … More Here’s how to make homemade cat treats
For anyone who owns a dog, you’re arguably aware of how important treats are for your pupper. Dogs are God-sent creatures that are far too pure and wonderful to be without treats, and so we as their owners must do our due diligence and ensure our doggos are receiving treats whenever necessary. Most of us … More Here’s how to make homemade dog treats
Anyone who has seen the film Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby will arguably understand the reference I’m about to make: ‘If you don’t like chilli then f*** you.’ If you haven’t seen this movie or are unfamiliar with this quote, please do not take my expression to heart. Tis but a joke, and … More Let’s make some chilli
I will begin this post by acknowledging the fact that the name I have given a particular food dish I recently made may be entirely inaccurate. Personally, I think calling what I made a sausage hash encapsulates this dish in all its glory, but I’m not a chef, nor am I a food expert. So, … More Let’s make sausage hash
I should probably clarify the question that exists within the title of today’s post. When I say cat’s claw, I’m not referring to a literal cat claw that can be found attached to the pad of their foot; rather, I’m making reference to cat’s claw as an herb, and if you haven’t heard of it, … More What in the heck is cat’s claw?
When my Oma and Opa were still here with us Earth-side, towards the end of their lives, they found themselves living in Hamilton. They lived in a retirement home, and once a week, my mom would head to the Hammer to visit with them, run any errands then required, etc. I was in university during … More Read this if you’re a fan of Vietnamese spring rolls
I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this before, but in case I haven’t, allow me this opportunity to inform you all that Blaine works on his family’s cattle farm. It’s a beef operation, meaning the cattle aren’t exclusively Holstein for producing milk; rather, these cows are a variety of breeds and are raised for consumption. Being … More Let’s make homemade hamburgers
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, my mom, sister and I spent an afternoon in Cambridge on the weekend to do a little bit of shopping. After our shopping came to a conclusion, we were trying to figure out where to go for dinner. My sister did a quick Google search to see what restaurants … More Have you been to The Black Badger in Cambridge?
I’ll admit I perhaps wasn’t entirely aware of each and every benefit the consumption of spinach offers, but here we are with a part two post. Apparently, spinach is one hell of a superfood, so much so that it requires two separate posts to cover all of the wonderful advantages that come with eating it. … More Let’s hear it for spinach, again (part two)
If you’ve been around the block a time or two, you’re probably aware of the fact that spinach is considered to be a superfood. Superfoods are foods that go above and beyond in terms of the nutrients they offer, and spinach is one of the more well-known superfoods if I had to guess. I mean, … More Let’s hear it for spinach (part one)
While I wouldn’t go so far as to say my cooking can compete with the likes of Ina Garten, I will say that I’m not as terrible in the kitchen as I may have made myself to believe. When I was a kid, I was obsessed with cooking and baking, and my parents were kind … More Try your hand at some homemade pizza
My husband is a tremendous fan of Bits and Bits, specifically the barbeque flavour, which can be tricky to find. His ultimate preference, however, is his mom’s homemade Bits and Bits, and understandably so; I have yet to consume anything my mother-in-law has prepared that is anything shy of phenomenal, and her Bits and Bites … More Here’s how to make your own Bits and Bites
If I had to guess, I would wager that between myself and my family, we, collectively over the span of a few years, have probably gone through half-a-dozen Keurig machines. I won’t lie to you; considering my family’s track record with these devices, I really didn’t have a whole lot of faith in them. I … More What’s your go-to Keurig pod?
