When my husband was diagnosed with cancer in 2009, I looked to the Internet and library books to teach me about healthy nutrition and lifestyle. Dreena’s site was one of the first sites I discovered and loved reading (and still do) regularly. Although she does not talk about cancer prevention and treatment on her site, I wanted to learn how [...]
My son began grade 1 on September 1st. Packing lunches for him became more complex as I have to pack more food than in kindergarten since he is at school the whole day.

The first time I read on the internet about 2-ingredient banana egg pancakes I thought: That is a great idea! It turned out that banana egg pancakes were not only easy to make, but also delicious. My whole family loved them. One day, I decided to add more nutrition to these pancakes (by adding fresh spinach leaves) and more flavour (by [...]
What do you think of sardines? Have you ever eaten sardines? Do you love or hate them? I ask all these questions because weirdly enough sardines and this beautiful salad have a strong connection in my life. The first time I made this salad I was pregnant with my daughter who is turning 3 this month. I could have eaten [...]
Can you believe that I had French toast only once or twice while growing up? One day I ate it at a friends’ house which prompted me to ask my mom to make me some. Which she did, once or twice. It seems that history repeats as I made French Toast for my son only a couple of times since [...]
