Challenge Yourself to Choose More Stars with #PCStars #GuidingStarsCA

July 9, 2015 by Kathryn 6 Comments

Last month I had my first introduction of the PC Guiding Stars program and I absolutely loved how easy the system was to use. Simply look for foods with one, two or three stars to ensure you’re making healthy choices for your family. The more stars a food has, the more nutritionally dense it is. Since learning about the Guiding Stars, I wanted to go further and improve my eating habits with help from the program. So I signed into my free PC Plus account and opened my Guiding Stars profile to see what improvements I could make.

As it turned out, I was already at the highest possible level, a Level 5! We tend to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables in the house along with lots of lean protein, so it was exciting to see that those habits were ones that the Guiding Stars program recognized as healthful. But I knew we could do even better, so I set out to substitute some of our usual weekly purchases for products with higher stars.

Cook Up Something Delicious with Celebrity Chef David Rocco and Barilla

June 15, 2015 by Kathryn 214 Comments

I love to cook and if there’s one thing that I’ve learned over years of trying different recipes, it’s that quality ingredients make all the difference when it comes to taking a recipe from good to great. Pasta has always been one of my favourite meals to cook because it’s perfect for both quick and easy dinners or gourmet creations and for great results every time, Barilla pasta is a must in my house.

Recently, Barilla sent me a fantastic package containing a variety of pasta, some fun recipe ideas and a copy of the cookbook Made in Italy by David Rocco! As a huge fan of Italian food, I couldn’t wait to try out a few of the recipes, and this Pasta Al Forno was one dish that the entire family loved. [Read more…]

Celebrate #LoveYourPet Day by Ensuring Your Pet’s Health with Pets Plus Us

February 18, 2014 by Kathryn 44 Comments

Pets are more than just a furry friend, they are an important member of the family. Our beloved Siamese-cross Racer has been a great addition to our household and we can’t wait to celebrate her presence in our family on February 20th with Love Your Pet Day and Pets Plus Us. Pets Plus Us is a new pet community and insurance provider. With Love Your Pet Day quickly approaching, the company is encouraging pet owners to consider what it means to really take care of your pet. After all, keeping our pets happy and healthy is part of showing our love for them.

Before adopting Racer, there were many things we needed to consider. The cost of caring for her was a huge concern. Food, treats, toys, beds? It all adds up. Take a peek at the chart below to get an idea of what to expect (and spend) in the first year of kittenhood.

Home Cooks Will Love Woll Diamond Plus Cookware and PushPan Bakeware from Pangea Sales

December 12, 2013 by Kathryn 180 Comments

New kitchen essentials are a great gift for anyone that loves to cook or bake, and since top-of-the-line products can be pricey, it’s a great way to treat a loved one to quality cookware that will be loved for years. Pangea Sales Inc. is an Ontario-based distributor of high-quality and unique cookware and bakeware at discount prices including the fabulous Wilkinson PushPan bakeware and Woll Diamond Plus cookware. I recently received the Wilkinson 9” PushPan and the Woll Diamond Plus 9.5” fry pan to test out myself and I couldn’t wait to get into the kitchen.

I have been lusting over Woll Diamond Plus cookware for some time so I was especially excited to try out the fry pan. I have a love-hate relationship when it comes to cookware. I love the convenience of non-stick, as long as it’s a variety free of PFOAs, but I hate the fact I can’t use metal utensils with it. I invariably end up forgetting in the bustle of cooking, using metal on the surface and ruining it. On the other hand, as much as I love the durability and convenience of stainless steel, I hate how some foods stick to it so badly.
