Like so many Canadian gardeners, I have a huge rhubarb growing in the corner of my veggie garden. For me, the decision to include it in my garden was my childhood memories of cutting off a stalk and dipping it directly into sugar before taking each bittersweet bite. I know I’m not alone and I…
Tigernut Milk
I’m still searching for the perfect cream for my coffee. Currently I am most happy with a combination of my homemade almond milk and a splash of coconut milk for a bit of thickness. However, I’m always open to new ideas and a while back I had seen a post by Jenny McGruther over at…
