New Year’s Eve is upon us, and if your plans include hanging out with friends at home, I’ve got some great appies for you to make and bake.

I’m a big fan of herbs, especially basil. I grew up in a Persian household and herbs were always served with dinner. Wrapping feta cheese and fresh mint, dill, parsley or basil in warm Persian bread is especially delicious. I could live off that meal and never get tired of it. But I could never figure out how to get my herbs to last for a long time. I turned to Pinterest for a solution, and discovered the Prepara Herb Savor. I then noticed that Best Buy carried it, and asked them to send me a sample of this kitchen gadget to review.      

I think the saddest part of the Holidays being over isn’t packing up the Christmas tree and decorations – it’s the packing up of the cookies, candy, and all of the fattening goodies to make way for healthier food on our shelves.

If you’re looking for a great way to give you a kick-start, look no further than juicing.  

Tis the season to get baking for the holidays, and if you need some inspiration here are my favourite Christmas cookie recipes.

It’s officially fall, and that means we are well on our way to our great Canadian winter. There are some great ways to be well prepared for whatever fall and winter decides to throw at us.   I think that last wind storm really gave most of us a scare, and I for one don’t want to be battling hungry people at whatever store and restaurant has power.   My plan is to have some easy soups and stew ingredients on hand ready for last minute meals and in case of a power outage. Read on for some quick and easy recipes.

Car camping is a great way to get away for the weekend, and if you bring along a propane stove and some cookware, you can try these great camp trip recipes.

It’s a big adjustment when you make the switch from living at home to living in the dorm. You’ve got to say goodbye to fresh laundry every day and say hello to communal washer and dryers. You’ll also shop for groceries for yourself and cook for yourself, maybe for the first time ever. A lot of college students find it exciting when they think about setting up a kitchen and making meals every day, but the reality is a bit...

It's National Beer Day, and if you love beer you'll love these beer recipes and tips on home brewing and beer pouring.
