Ok, so, my muffins look green! That's what happens when you combine BLUEberries with baking soda. It's chemistry people! But don't let the colour deter you from making these delicious gems....because they are delicious. In fact, it's easy to transform a standard muffin into a gluten free, dairy free, low sugar, grain free treat and [...]

Just last week Canada celebrated it's 150th Birthday! And I must say, I am one lucky girl to be Canadian and live in this beautiful country. I grew up in Toronto and my Mother immigrated from Portugal to Canada when she was 14 years old. My dad also grew up in Toronto. He is as [...]
