8 Ways to Get Over White Bread
We’ve all heard the radio and read the headlines – white flour is officially the devil’s foodstuff. Almost every day we are bombarded with the benefits of giving up white bread, white rice, and white pasta. But why? Because of … refined wheat. Whereas whole wheat is quite nutritious and packed with great dietary fibre, the refined version has been stripped off all its goodness, and can result in a spike in blood sugar which can lead to increased calorie intake .

Essential Items & Products Every Kitchen Requires to Feel Complete
The kitchen. What used to just be the place meals were made is now more than just a food preparation area. Kitchens in 2018 have become places to hang-out, catch-up, prepare epic meals, and sip a cup of fresh morning coffee. But no kitchen can be the oasis of memorable meals and moments without a well laid out floor plan, essentials, and tools to get any meal off the recipe book and onto the table.

10 Foods I Want to Try
For as long as I can remember, I have never been a picky eater. If I was at any point in my life, it was a very long time ago, and I most definitely grew out of it. There are very few foods I do not like. Those would be celery... and, well, that is about it.

Wilder Rant: Fancy Food Nation
Wilder rant alert, people. I merely tried to cook dinner. It didn’t go well. I wish I had a nice red wine to wash the taste of failure from my mouth, but alas…I do not. Ice cold green tea will have to suffice. There is nothing, absolutely nothing more awkward than messing up a recipe with the words “fool proof” in the title. I mean, it hurts almost as bad as having emotionally unavailable parents. I bet they’d love me if I could properly pan sear sea scallops, but I digress. This self-confidence shattering experience has brought me to the topic of this Wilder rant. When did cooking become so flipping pretentious? Has it always been this way? It is possible that it has. I will contend the advent of social media and blogging has opened the door for people with the most amazing boiled water recipe to think they are master chefs. I have seen identical banana nut bread recipes, but one of them is haughty enough to declare their recipe the best.

The Time I Went to a Café Owned and Operated by a Cult
An inconspicuous little café sandwiched between a British-themed pub and a family-style deli on Main Street, Hyannis, Massachusetts, is not where I expected a cult to set up shop. Alas. The Common Ground Café really doesn’t look cult-y at all from the outside. It’s got these big fixed windows and planters underneath them with modest petunias; perfectly boring. The exterior does surprise me, though, because I generally don’t think of cults as caring about letting in loads of natural light. Once you get inside, and it’s a whole different ball game.

How to Be a Foodie When You're Broke
It's tough to be a foodie when you're broke. You see all your friends going to craft breweries and burger bars, and you can't even afford the garnish. It makes a guy or gal sad. It's the opposite of empowering, and definitely not the enjoyable moment the taste buds have been begging for. The thing is, you can still love food, and be a foodie, with what you have in your very broke pantry and in a super stripped down fridge and freezer.

The Language of Consent
I have been thinking a lot about consent lately; it’s become a bit of a buzzword and that’s no bad thing. As an educator, I generally think about consent in terms of sex education and the fact that still, in 2018, consent is not explicitly taught to primary aged children.

Pumpkin Spice: IS It Everything Nice?
It's officially that time of year for the autumn folk, those fall fevered pumpkin eaters who'd like to skip summer and do fall twice. I know I'm one of them, and I'm hankering for my favourite season already, even though Summer's just begun!

Breakfast for... Breakfast?
Firstly I'd like to state that this is my first story/recipe/whatever-I-want-to-call-it, so therefore if you are interested in reading more, then I'm sorry you must truly be delusional. That being said, I hope you enjoy the amalgamation of witless banter and bad decisions that is going to follow. Good luck.
