Once a year I attempt to re-organize my pantry. Not only to make it look better but also to make it more functional. I am a grade one teacher so I usually do this in the summers when I am not working. I live with my fiancé and he does not follow the autoimmune protocol. …
Garlic & Lemon Broccolini
I don’t know about you, but I have only eaten broccolini a handful of times. In fact most of the time my local grocery stores don’t carry it. This summer though I have seen it pop up in my local Wal-Mart so I thought I would buy it and see if I prefer it to …
Wonton Soup
