ModernHostess: Kale. Really!

When did kale stop being some boring leafy green that you’re forced to eat when you’re a kid? I don’t know, but I couldn’t be happier about it.

The Benefits of Seasonal Foods

With the weather changes that are so inherent of Canadian living, a thought I’d like to share with you with the colder weather fast approaching, is the benefit of eating foods in season. In the summer, we change to lighter, breezy clothes and in the winter we add layers to keep ourselves warm and cozy. As the seasons change to balance the...
