  • Win 5 loaves of Stonemill Bread {Ontario only}

    The “go to” food for the children in my house is bread. Whether they are asking for french toast, a grilled cheese sandwich, some toast with peanut butter or any other form of sandwich, they like their bread. With this in mind, I try to choose varieties of bread that…

  • The Vegetable Garden: Week 3

    My vegetable garden was planted three weeks ago and I’m seeing a lot of growth this week, with both vegetables and weeds. I’ve been trying to combat the weeds but I’m cautious because some of the plants are still very small and I don’t want to accidentally pull them out…
