Wash and peel the potato. Dice it up small and…

Heritage Festival Edmonton
Heritage Festival Edmonton It was the long weekend in August, 2015 – here in Alberta, the first Monday of August is Heritage Day. As such, we have a Heritage Festival Saturday-Monday and this was the first year I attended. Overall, I have to say I was a bit disappointed. My fault, perhaps, since I had my foodie ‘hat’ on after having a wonderful experience at the Taste of Edmonton. In hindsight, even the Heritage Festivals website is a bit lacklustre. The event operates on tickets,…

Celiac Disease and going Gluten Free
Well, where do I even start. I’m a celiac. First, I’ll start by saying I think this is awesome and I’m so excited to change my life and feel great. It’s often said that we have no idea how good our bodies are meant to feel, and I can’t believe it’s about to get better. Seriously. Back in 2008 when Bryce, my now husband, moved in with me he realized that I suffered from an above average amount of headaches/migraines. Really, it’s not normal to…
