I love the Creamy Greek Feta Dressing by Renee’s Gourmet Dressing. It is tasty, everyone loves it, and it is made with pretty great fresh ingredients. The only thing that isn’t ideal is the canola oil that is ever so common in packaged dressings. Canola, and other oils like soybean are used in products that will…
Creamy Citrus Fusion Slaw
It seems like I’ve made a lot of different coleslaw this year, due to the 6 cabbages that I grew this year. Yes, only 6. That, trust me, is plenty for our family. Enough to make 2 batches of sauerkraut, lots of yummy braised cabbage, and plenty of coleslaw. Even after I gave one cabbage to my…
Kale Salad With Citrus Tahini Dressing
If you had told me even two years ago that kale would be one of my top of list favourite foods, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. After growing it in the garden on a whim in 2014 I have used sooooo much of it. Smoothies, sautés, as a bed for eggs, kale chips….you name…
Savoury Low Carb Slaw

Beet Salad with Peaches and Honey Balsamic Dressing
I’m a bit jealous. My longtime friend Mona tends bees. She started a few years ago and though I have often thought I’d like to do the same, I have yet to learn. I tried to sign up for a course in the spring but was already too late. I’m signed up for one in October…
Mexi-slaw
Nolan loves coleslaw but unfortunately nearly all store-bought coleslaw dressings and even most dressing recipes are chock full of sugar, and canola oil. So, I’ve been trying out different ideas to make a version that we can all be happy with the flavour of, and that I can be happy with the ingredients in. This…
Paleo Broccoli Salad
My mother in law was a good cook. She didn’t cook a lot of fancy shmancy stuff but her food was always tasty and my kids grew up, like many, with plenty of memories of favourites served up by the Gramma Lady. One of the Gramma Lady’s favourite salads to bring to my mostly potluck…
