If you’ve read our blogs, you know I have a personal beef with sugar. Added sugar was once my crutch in life. When stressed, I turned to chocolate. If I celebrated something, I turned to cake. And when bored, I baked sweet stuff. It’s so addictive! And here’s my other...
When Bill and I went to Halifax last time, we discovered Pur & Simple. It is a restaurant that offers breakfast and lunch options. They pride themselves on using quality ingredients that are locally sourced when possible. It’s a bit more expensive that some...
