Many individuals will be confused by the title of this blog post as most individuals do not associate high protein and low carbohydrate as words to describe bread. It is possible!

For me, it’s always such a treat to shop at a store that is not part of my usual routine. I know that Farm Boy has arrived in the west end of Toronto for a while but I have not yet had a chance to check it out. Although we are technically in spring right…

As a Registered Dietitian, a big part of my role is to help individuals with meal planning. Many individuals want meal plans; however, meal plans often result in providing simple, easy recipes which are easy to make in which the client can realistically incorporate into his/her current lifestyle.
