Grill in Style this Summer with 10 Amazing BBQ Tips and Ozery’s OneBun®-Giveaway

May 22, 2015 by Kathryn 162 Comments

I am a huge fan of barbequing and once the weather is warm enough to eat outside, I’ll sometimes use the barbeque all week long. From chicken and steak to hot dogs and hamburgers, it’s a sure-to-please meal if it’s been on the grill!

But I’m not a fan of the big, doughy hamburger and hot dog buns and their high calorie count, so that’s why this year I’ve fallen in love with Ozery’s Pita Break! The company’s OneBun® flatbread buns are a lighter alternative to traditional buns and are free of artificial colours, flavours, additives and preservatives. To help you have an extra delicious barbeque season, Ozery’s Pita Break has ten great barbeque tips you’ll want to check out before you hit the grill!

Baking Up Fun with New Robin Hood Quick Bread Mixes

October 20, 2014 by Kathryn 40 Comments

If there’s one thing that the average parent could use more of, it’s time. Being busy is one of the hallmark traits of being a parent and I’m certainly no exception! As a result, I’ve learned numerous shortcuts so that I can accomplish my tasks even when I feel like I don’t have enough time to do so!

Of course, a shortcut is no good if it doesn’t still produce the results I want and that’s why I was so excited to try the new Robin Hood Quick Bread Mixes. The mixes promised homemade taste in a convenient mix that could go from box to oven in just five minutes and as an avid baker that rarely has enough time to bake, the concept was a dream come true to me.

Stonemill Bakehouse Breads Now Naturally Enriched with Vitamin D-Giveaway

July 1, 2014 by Kathryn 114 Comments

Getting all the essential nutrients in a day can be a challenge for anyone, and when you’re a parent of a picky eater, the challenge becomes even greater. I try my best to make sure that my boys are getting the vitamins and minerals they need for good health but when I can do that in an easy and kid-friendly way, I’m extra happy.

Now, Stonemill Bakehouse has made proper nutrition a little easier for adults and children alike by offering eleven different breads that contain 25% of the recommended daily intake of Vitamin D per serving! These breads are naturally enriched with Vitamin D thanks to the yeast, which is exposed to a light source during production that naturally transforms the sterols in the yeast to Vitamin D. And you can enjoy the benefits of added Vitamin D in any of these delicious breads:

Chia – 6 Supergrains
Sprouted 3 Grains – 3 Grains & Oatmeal
11 Whole Grains – Grains & Honey
12 Whole Grains – Sprouted Rye
Omega 3 – Sprouted Flax and Sunflower & Walnut
Fibre & Fruit – Cranberry Pumpkin Seed,
Flax & Chia – Supergrains
Sourdough – Multigrain
Sourdough – Classic French
Sourdough – Hearty Bavarian Rye
Sourdough – Belgian Whole Wheat

While the body naturally produces Vitamin D in sunny conditions, many people suffer from low levels of Vitamin D in Canada, especially in the colder months. And there aren’t very many foods that contain Vitamin D, so getting the nutrient from a product that is as frequently consumed as bread just makes sense. [Read more…]

A Quick Apple Cheddar Panini on Dempster’s Zero Bread Makes the Perfect Lunch

February 27, 2014 by Kathryn 68 Comments

If there is one food I absolutely adore, it’s the sandwich. The versatility of a sandwich makes it the perfect food in my eyes and I could eat a sandwich for every meal and be completely happy. Bacon and egg sandwiches make a great breakfast. Everyone loves a tuna salad sandwich at lunch. And a hearty chicken club is dinner at its best. In the mood for dessert? Hello peanut butter and jam!

But eating all that bread really isn’t necessarily the healthiest choice, especially with the added fat and sugar that some breads contain. So when I was given the chance to whip up a sandwich with new Dempster’s Zero 100% whole wheat bread, I couldn’t resist. This latest offering from Dempster’s is a 100% whole wheat bread that contains zero added sugar and fat with all of the great Dempster’s taste. I grabbed a loaf at the store and headed to the kitchen to whip up something tasty.

With a healthier bread to work with, I had two options. I could take advantage of the lower fat and sugar content by making something especially decadent. Or I could make a healthy sandwich that would now be even healthier thanks to Dempster’s Zero. I decided to go with the healthy option by creating a delicious and satisfying Apple Cheddar Panini.
