Date Paste

Date Paste

Date Paste is a raw, whole food, ready to go sweetener that you can make yourself with a gel or paste like consistency.  It stores well in the fridge and is a quick & easy replacement for sugar or honey … you know it’s rare to find a child that doesn’t like the taste of sweet. Use date paste in dressings, drinks, sauce recipes or any place where one would be tempted to add a little bit of honey here or there such as, mixed in with peanut butter for fruit & veggie dip or in a peanut butter and “honey” sandwich.

The Discovery

The Discovery

You know that can’t sleep, can’t eat feeling you get when you are so excited about something that you just want to share it with the world? That’s how I’m feeling today and ironically, the thing that I’m passionate about is FOOD, but not just any food, food that I can feel good about feeding to the people who mean everything to me: My Family! But before I go any further, let me introduce myself: My name is Kristi and I live in the wonderful northern world of Canada. I wear many hats but the one that fits me best is the one called MOTHER. I am also a WIFE (I love you honey), a CHRISTIAN, a DENTIST and a FOREVER STUDENT. I have a love of learning that lets just say borderlines on addiction.
