Add More Vegetables to Your Diet with Hidden Garden Cookies

January 21, 2016 by Kathryn 193 Comments

One of the hardest things about healthy eating for me is giving up all those treats that taste so good, yet aren’t all that good for my body. I can’t resist the occasional sweet treat, and cookies are one of my favourites.

My boys love sweets just as much as I do, but of course I don’t want them having too much junk food either. Luckily, Hidden Garden has come to the rescue with tasty gluten-free and nut-free cookies that have a half-serving of hidden vegetables in every portion!

These cookies are crispy with a melt-in-your-mouth texture that’s absolutely addictive. Available in Chocolate Chip, Ginger Snap, Red Velvet and Cocoa Cherry varieties, there’s a flavour to suit everyone. And since every serving includes vegetables such as butternut squash, beets and spinach, they’re a treat that I can eat without feeling too guilty!

Green & Black’s Dark Choclate Orange Raspberry Tiramisu Makes a Delicious Easter Dessert

March 22, 2013 by Kathryn 215 Comments

I am an absolute huge fan of Green & Black’s Organic chocolate. In fact, when I mention my love of organic chocolate to others, Green & Black’s is the brand I’m thinking of. It has a rich, complex flavour that I find absolutely irresistible. Recently, Green & Black’s contacted me and asked me to be a part of the Green & Black’s Organic Easter Recipe Hunt and I couldn’t wait to take my love of this decadent chocolate into the kitchen. The recipes have now been posted on the Green & Black’s Canada Facebook page and one lucky recipe will be recognized as the first place winner!

I pondered different recipes for quite some time and eventually decided on a light and fruity tiramisu. Traditional Tiramisu uses flavours of coffee and rich mascarpone cheese to create quite a heavy, decadent dessert. I decided to lighten it up by using flavours of orange and raspberry blended with the rich complexity of dark chocolate.

Enjoy All the Benefits of Dark Chocolate in a Delicious Hot Drink with Crio Bru-Giveaway

May 9, 2012 by Kathryn 77 Comments

I love my coffee. I mean…I really love it. In a can’t-live-without-it kind of way. But I love chocolate just as much. And so when I learned about Crio Bru, I knew I’d probably found the most ideal drink ever. Crio Bru is a brand of organic roasted cocoa beans that provides all the same health benefits as dark chocolate and brews just like coffee. I was lucky enough to receive a starter set containing two varieties of Crio Bru and a French Press from Crio Bru Canada and I couldn’t wait to brew up a pot of roasted chocolate goodness!

crio bru starter setI tried the Cavalla Crio Bru cocoa beans first. This blend has flavour notes of coconut and cinnamon that are found naturally in the cocoa bean. I measured six heaping scoops of Crio Bru into the French Press and then filled it with boiling water. After ten minutes of steeping, I pressed the plunger down carefully and poured out a cup of the chocolaty brew. [Read more…]
