This is a dangerously delicious salad. One of those salads that will tempt you to eat nothing else for dinner. Or at least nibble the ingredients while preparing it, leaving you with no appetite for other food. But the risk is worth taking!

Bourbon and Bacon Jam
Have you ever put something off because you feared failure? Maybe you delayed a difficult conversation because you might say the wrong thing. Or perhaps you avoid wedding dances for fear of looking like a klutz.

But the day of boldness finally arrived.

Golden Vegetables Immune-Boosting Soup
Liquid sunshine. That’s what this is! When you’re feeling worn out, exhausted, vulnerable to every virus, this is even more therapeutic than a catnap in the sun. And the taste is so amazing that you will make it over and over again – even when it’s not soup season.

Gluten Free Cornbread with Maple Butter
What is it about cornbread that makes it so impossible to describe? The texture? Flavour? Crumbs? Tradition? It’s not a cake, not a roll, not a muffin, and definitely not a bread. It’s just CORNBREAD. No more, and no less. And impossible to describe.
Berry Lemon Oven Pancake – Gluten Free
