read moreNutritional Yeast ….What is That?
One of the first things that had me saying “what is that?” is nutritional yeast. I had seen some recipes and heard it mentioned in a few circles. Yeast? Really? As it turns out, nutritional yeast seems to be a staple in a vegan diet as both a great source of vitamin B-12 and a flavoring for many foods. According to Wikipedia, “Nutritional yeast is produced by culturing the yeast with a mixture of sugarcane and beet molasses for a period of 7 days and then harvesting, washing, drying and packaging it.” It is a...

read moreFood Flavouring – How do you Flavor Your Food?
How do you flavor your food? Brands use all sorts of technology to add food flavouring like at Taste Tech where they have been encapsulating food flavors and vitamins for customers worldwide. But, since we are not “big brands” how do you flavor your food in your kitchen? We like to keep it low sodium, so the obvious salt option is out! I myself am a pepper freak.

I was so excited when I got my samples of Beanfields Bean and Rice Chips in the mail. So was the family. No sooner did I open up my box to find requests to bring my samples to my sisters house to give the “panel” an official taste test. Since my sister literally lives next door, I grabbed my box and my kids and off we went. We spread out all the bags and let the testing begin. In our samples we had: Pico de Gallo, Sea Salt and Pepper, Nacho, Sea Salt, and Unsalted. Included in my package was a booklet that tells us...

Tis the season for winter squash. My favorite? Butternut. I really is one of the most versitile of the squash family in my opinion. It can be sweet, savory, or spicy. It can be pureed, mashed, chopped, diced, shredded, roasted or toasted. You can use it from breakfast all the way to dessert. AND… it is uber healthy. That is why I am a Butternut nut! What are the benefits? Butternut packs a good dose of fiber, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Beta Carotene, Thiamine and B6 and more. How do I cook it? Like I said, you can roast it...

Today my sister and I took a nice half mile walk, which ended at a world class organic winery for wine tasting. I know… jelous right. Yes, I live a half mile away from a fantastic certified organic winery. However, we went because we drink one variety of their wine and wanted to taste more of that brand. You can say we kind of have gotten into a rut. Buying the same wines over and over because they are “safe”. We know we like them so why gamble on another brand. Well, I have had the pleasure to be introduced to a...
