Recipe: Mediterranean Salad
Mediterranean salad – this vibrant, flavourful, and easy to prep salad is a must this spring season. It’s full of salty bites, like feta cheese and kalamata olives, as well as sweet bites, like cherry tomatoes and fresh cucumbers. Okay, let’s get chopping.

Recipe: Sprinkle Cookies
Holiday Sprinkle Cookies! Who doesn’t love a good sprinkle?! These cookies make use of a pretty universal gluten free cookie recipe, and for a bit of jazzing up, I roll them in sprinkles first. I made these over the holiday break, hence the red, white, and green. No, they’re not for celebrating Italy, Bulgaria, India (they have an alpine skier!), or for any other country at the 2026 Olympics – they’re a past-due recipe from December. Okay, let’s bake up! Ingredients First, gather all of…
