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!

When it comes to holiday entertaining, having a dessert table that impresses is a must for me!

I have a long list of must-make treats for the holidays, and something I always include on a tray of desserts is cheesecake! Not only is it a delicious and versatile crowd-pleaser, it’s also my very favourite dessert!

Improving My Health Naturally With a FitTea Review

June 23, 2015 by Kathryn 13 Comments

While I’m pretty happy with my body overall, I’m always interested in finding new ways to tone up a little more, burn extra fat and improve my general health. And when I can find an easy and fun way to do that, I’m even happier. I’d heard of FitTea products before and I always thought the company’s tagline “Give us a few weeks and we’ll give you a new waistline” sounded intriguing. An all-natural tea that helped promote fat burning and boost immunity sounded like a dream come true to me and since there’s nothing I love more than a soothing cup of tea, I couldn’t help but want to give the product a try. Recently I had the chance to do just that with a FitTea review about how this tea worked for me.

Initially I thought that the FitTea I had been sent was a loose-leaf product, but when I opened the bag I realized it was even better. Traditional tea bags just aren’t the best choice for extracting the maximum flavour and health benefits from tea leaves and while loose-leaf tea is delicious, it’s also a little fussy to make since having a tea ball at the ready is a must. FitTea solves the problem by using large silk pouches, keeping the tea in its proper loose leaf form and allowing proper steeping while still being quick and simple to use. For those that prefer the traditional method, however, a loose-leaf variety is also available. [Read more…]

Welcome the Weekend with a Moscow Mule Cocktail

January 23, 2015 by Kathryn 95 Comments

There’s no better way to celebrate the weekend than with a fun beverage, and this week I decided to try something new for a Friday cocktail. Thanks to a review package from Reed’s Ginger Brew, I was in the mood to get a little spicy, so a delicious and classic Moscow Mule was the perfect choice!

The Moscow Mule is a fairly simple drink with a fun flavour that perfectly blends the spice of ginger with the tanginess of lime. It’s often made with ginger-ale but I far prefer it with ginger beer since the resulting flavour is so much stronger and more complex.

Green & Black’s Dark Chocolate Ginger Cheesecake Makes a Sweet Treat

May 27, 2014 by Kathryn 166 Comments

I am a huge fan of organic chocolate and for years now, my all-time favourite brand has been Green & Black’s.

From simple white, milk and dark chocolate varieties to exotic choices featuring sea salt, toffee and ginger, every Green & Black’s Organic chocolate bar I’ve tried has featured a rich, distinctive flavour that’s simply irresistible. And while I love snacking on one of these decadent bars, I love cooking with them just as much!

Last spring I used Green & Black’s Organic dark chocolate to create a light and delicious Dark Chocolate Orange Raspberry Tiramisu, and it was definitely a popular recipe.
