This post is filled with our all-time favourite recipes focusing on non-perishable staples you are likely to find in your pantry. If you don’t have the ingredients on hand, chances are you’ll be able to find them easier at your local grocery store than fresh ingredients these days. Also, remember to substitute ingredients, as needed, to suit what is available. I always consider recipes as a starting point for inspiring new crave-worthy culinary creations and encourage you to do the same.
The different oils on the grocery store shelves are dizzying and with ever-changing nutrition advice, no wonder you are left scratching your head! I’d like to mention that you are not alone when it comes to being confused about which cooking oil is best for meal preparation. As I trek my way through my dietetic internship, I’ve stumbled across many different opinions from various health professionals, which made me even more confused. Hence my quest to learn the truth! Although it may not be as easy as 1+1 = 2, I will try my best to answer your questions (and mine too).
Dietary fat has been a hot topic for years and if you grew up thinking fat was the devil during the low-fat craze of the 70s and 80s, you’re probably hella confused right now with this insanely popular ketogenic diet trend. Whether fat is completely discouraged (or encouraged), there’s a fine line between the good, the bad, and the ugly – so let’s face the facts about fat!
Who says salads are boring?! To be honest, though, when you hear salad you probably think of ice berg lettuce and a few veggies. So why not shake things up a little bit? Salads are a great vehicle to get more plant-based foods in your diet, so I thought I’d call on my dietitian colleagues to share their favourite salads, sans lettuce!
