HORRAY! PRIMAL KITCHEN HAS MADE IT TO CALGARY
I'm a bit late it sharing this news, so I apologize for that. I don't often promote or endorse a product unless I know it strictly complies to a gut-healthy diet, and the quality is good.
Primal Kitchen mayonnaise has long been a favourite of mine. It is the only mayo on the market that I know of that is 100% grain free (using a non-grain derived vinegar), and it uses only avocado oil (a healthy fat). Additionally it is sugar free, soy and canola free and dairy free.

Cold soups don't have a lot of appeal most days of the year, especially living in Canada, but on those days where it's sweltering hot, nothing beats a cold soup. In Calgary, we had some of those sweltering days last week, and a few more are expected in the coming days, so cold soup will be a welcome treat.

FAT BOMB LATTES - A GREAT WAY TO START THE DAY
As I write this, I'm about a week into a ketogenic diet (I'll explain why in next week's blog). I'm doing a modified or low-ketogenic version of the diet, because it allows me to keep the nutrient density high in terms of micronutrients like vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other phytochemicals.
4 REASONS TO GARDEN YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE THOUGHT OF
There are so many benefits to growing your own food, with organic and fresh picked being at the top. Nothing rivals the taste of a sun-warmed tomato fresh from the vine, or pulling a carrot straight out of the soil and biting into its crispy flesh. But there are other important reasons to consider gardening.
