Spread the Holiday Cheer with Black Diamond’s New Cheese Spreads {Recipes & Giveaway} #spreadyourflavour

December 14, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

Having a dairy allergy I am not exactly a big cheese connoisseur, but Black Diamond is the cheese of choice at our place. For brick, processed slices and now spreadable cheese, my husband has a strong preference towards Black Diamond. Over the years we've even gotten into a spat or two over cheese, because I grabbed whatever was on sale and it wasn't Black Diamond. Just in … [Read more...]

I used my Pamela’s Chocolate Cake Mix to make brownies today and it turned out so good that I wanted to share. Pamela's does also make a brownie mix, but I already had the cake mix on hand and wanted to use what was in the cupboard. These decadent tasting brownie bites are vegan friendly, as well as gluten and dairy free.   Mini Chocolate Brownie Bites 1 package … [Read more...]

November 21, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

This just came in the mail today....   It's a subscription box from Snackbox (Their blurb is "Delicious healthy snacks delivered to your door monthly"). I opened this up and had to share a few quick photos with you because I was seriously impressed with: 1) the variety of goodies included, from salty to sweet, beverages to munchies, there was a little bit … [Read more...]

Chocolate Dipped Biscotti {Baking Gluten Free with Pamela’s}

November 19, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

I don’t eat gluten free, but my Mom does so I often cook gluten free. She was diagnosed with Celiac Disease before I was born.  There were a lot of trips to health food stores and questionable GF products when I was younger.  I have not so fond memories of muffins with the texture of hockey pucks and breads that were somehow magically both soggy and dry at the same … [Read more...]

The Healthy Shopper Seasonal Picks, Fall 2013

November 5, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

I've spoken before about The Healthy Shopper. It's a cool Canadian website that focuses on all natural, organic, healthy choices, and offers coupons for healthy products. They offer online e-coupons as well as a physical coupon book, which you should be able to find in stores across Canada. And if that doesn't work you can always order a free copy online (you'll just need to … [Read more...]

Pork Chops in Creamy Mushroom Sauce the Made from Scratch “Clean” Version {Recipe}

October 22, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

Have you ever read the ingredients on the back of a can of cream of mushroom soup? The list includes things like sugar, modified food starch, and “flavouring”, to name a few.  Cream of mushroom soup is a favourite with my kids (ooh! future blog recipe idea!), and none of those ingredients have a place in my pot. So when I make the classic “pork chops in mushroom soup”, I … [Read more...]

Bob Cooks, Surreal Gourmet

October 16, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

I'm a long time fan of the Surreal Gourmet, so of course one of my favourite moments from the SheBlogs Link2013 conference was Bob Blumer giving us a speech on how he developed his personal brand, which much to my delight segued into a cooking demo, where he created lollipop chicken, cauliflower popcorn and fishcakes which looked like cupcakes complete with pink icing. He … [Read more...]

Super Blueberry Banana Bread {Recipe}

October 8, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

I love baking. I really wish I didn’t, but I do. Spending time to make tasty treats always feels like time well spent, but I know I should be cooking something healthy-ish. My favourite thing to make is blueberry banana bread. If you’ve made banana bread before you know that when bananas are overripe they are PERFECT for baking banana bread. It’s getting to the point that I buy … [Read more...]

When Life Gives You Peaches… Peach Cobbler Recipe for #FoodPicFriday

August 30, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

Peaches are in season. My kids can't seem to decide if they love them or not. I get constant requests to chop up peaches and then they eat maybe half the of bowl. Which is of course driving me bats. Given that I have handfuls of pre-chopped peaches kicking around, I thought why not make a cobbler? Here's the recipe I came up with: Peaches, about 4 cups worth sliced. 1/4 … [Read more...]
