A Creamy Greek Pita Sandwich with Summer Fresh Tzatziki Dip Makes a Delicious School Lunch

August 24, 2016 by Kathryn 18 Comments

Preparing for a new school year means preparing ideas for school lunches that are quick to pack, healthy and tasty enough that my boys will actually eat them! I have a few tried-and-true favourites, but I’m always trying out fun new recipes too. And when I want to add extra flavour to any of my creations, I turn to Summer Fresh!

Summer Fresh hummus, dips and salads are delicious, nutritious and made with fresh, wholesome ingredients that my whole family loves. To be honest, my favourite way to use Summer Fresh products is to just cut up a big plate of fresh vegetables, open up a container of my favourite Avocado Hummus or Three Cheese Dip and dig in! But I do like using the products in other ways too. And this tasty Creamy Greek Chicken Pita is the perfect example of how Summer Fresh can make fall lunches easy and delicious! With only six ingredients and minimal time, I was able to whip up a sandwich the whole family loved!

Try this Easy and Delicious Dairy-Free Maple Vanilla Ice Cream

November 7, 2014 by Kathryn

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Silk. The opinions and text are all mine.

It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Silk beverages. The variety of dairy-free and gluten-free flavours is fantastic and I love incorporating the beverages into my recipes as well as drinking them on their own. The Silk Coconut Unsweetened is one of my favourite choices for baking and the Silk Almond Original is delicious in a cup of coffee in the morning. But now, Silk is innovating once again with new Silk Creamy Cashew beverage. Featuring just sixty calories a serving and as much calcium as dairy milk, its smooth, rich texture makes it a wonderful choice for drinking or for recipes that benefit from a little extra creaminess.

Of course, when I had the chance to test out new Silk Creamy Cashew, I couldn’t be content with just drinking a glassful. I did try it on its own and it was absolutely delicious with just a hint of cashew flavour, but what I really wanted to do was make a tasty treat with the beverage. And this dairy-free Maple Vanilla Ice Cream was the perfect fit for Silk Creamy Cashew’s smooth texture. [Read more…]

Make This Creamy Salted Caramel Latte Recipe and Other Delicious Drinks with New Pure Via Stevia Liquid Sweetener-Giveaway

September 19, 2014 by Kathryn 170 Comments

As somebody that is fairly health conscious, but also shuns artificial ingredients in my food, I’ve been a fan of Pure Via sweetener since it was first introduced in Canada. This naturally sourced option is made from an extract from the leaves of the Stevia plant and provides low-calorie sweetness that doesn’t cause fluctuations in blood sugar levels.

Pure Via sweetener is available in a granulated form that I love for baking and for sweetening my coffee in the morning. But the granulated version doesn’t dissolve very well in cold beverages, so I was pretty excited when the brand new Pure Via Stevia Liquid sweetener was introduced! The liquid version of my favourite low-calorie sweetener dissolves instantly in both hot and cold liquids and comes in a handy portable bottle with a no-drip lid perfect for a busy mom.

To let people see for themselves how delicious new Pure Via Liquid is, the company developed some fabulous and delicious cold beverage recipes perfect for a hot day. While autumn may be here, Saskatchewan is still enjoying plenty of warm, sunny days so I decided to test out one of the recipes and see how I liked it. And of course, as a confirmed coffee addict, I couldn’t resist whipping up a Creamy Salted Caramel Latte! [Read more…]
