We are very excited to welcome belVita Breakfast Biscuits as the second Scoop Supporter for 2013.  Scoop supporters are brands that eat, drink or think just like us and help us grow our Sub of the Month mentoring program for dietitians.  Now, we all know breakfast is the most important meal of the...

Oh my what a theme for this month’s Recipe Redux.  With the Academy Awards on our doorstep the idea is to take recipe inspiration from a favourite movie scene.  I have so many favourite foodie films, like Eat Drink Man Woman and Chocolat but they seem a little too obvious.  So of course I chose...

I’m actually not one of those women.  My sister is.  Any chance she gets. Give me an aged cheddar on a cracker any day over chocolate.  I just don’t seem to experience the strong pull that so many women (and men) do.  So on this day of lovers we wish all those pitching to their Valentine...

It’s Recipe Redux time again and as our Sub of the Month, new grad dietitian Natalie Edwards, just embarked on new job in a cooking program I decided to hand the apron to her.  The theme this month is: “Orange You Glad It’s Fall?” Markets are plentiful with the orange colors...

With the Olympics in full swing our hallway has become the gymnastics, vault run up.  There are catapulting kiddies everywhere.  But it seems at my training group it’s all talk about what athletes eat and I keep hearing protein, protein protein.  Do you pump up your protein? How much is the...

It’s Recipe ReDux time again – the first recipe challenge by registered dietitians – and the theme is based around a no-cook recipe using the best of the Summer vegetable harvest.  Well that suits our North American Redux leaders, but means an added challenge for us down under in winter...

When the theme for this month’s Recipe ReDux was unveiled…small bites to celebrate a big event…..I was very happy to handball the post to our June Sub of the Month.  She’s already shown her deft hand at cooking on our Facebook page. And when she ooohed and ahhhed over the theme I knew...
