John Carter Preview

-
It's been over a year since I first spotted the trailer for Disney's John Carter coming out this Friday, and I must admit I've been hugely excited. With only a few days left, I was also overjoyed to discover this new 10 minute preview. What I saw did make me LOL a bit. Isn't it hilarious what Disney does with our favourite book characters? As a Narnian, I found it difficult to see how they turned the High King Peter into a scrappy teen who couldn't control his temper in Prince Caspian (2008). In this, it seems as if Disney has turned the Warlord of Mars into almost a draft dodger! As I said, LOL! I think it still looks pretty exciting, and I can't wait. 5 days, oh yeah.

Snack Attack Pt. 2 - KETO VEGGIE PANCAKE

-

Back again with another snack attack solution for my Keto brothers and sisters.  This one is inspired by Korean style vegetable pancakes.  While we were visiting Halifax, Nova Scotia, my sister Tiffoodie took me to a Korean restaurant for the first time.  She ordered japchae , tteokbokki , and a kimchi pancake, and we really enjoyed ourselves.  Being a vegetarian for many years and a life-long lover of pancakes, I especially loved the kimchi pancake.  However, when my dietary needs changed, I discovered I couldn't just use my sister's kimchi right out of the jar.  Many brands have added sugar.  So...I came up with my own variation that hits the spot in a pinch when I'm craving a savoury pancake that's filling and satisfying.  Again, in this case, I am using on-hand ingredients that I regularly have in my cupboard and refrigerator. (Stay tuned...Tiffoodie and I are planning to make our own no-sugar-added kimchi. )   Tiffoodie at Korean restaurant in Halifa

Work Food - KETO OVERNIGHT NOATMEAL!

 Working long hours at the computer often has me craving snacks and needing an energy boost. One of my favourite low-carb go-to's that easy to prepare is Overnight Noatmeal!  In place of traditional oatmeal, it uses chia seeds and coconut flour to thicken up the yoghurt-based concoction.  It also doesn't have to be prepared the night before, the chia seeds in this recipe can actually soften into the right texture in about an hour if you want your noatmeal sooner! Here's what I use: To start, I use a clean, 12 ounce jar.  Inside put in a tablespoon each of chia seeds and coconut flour, along with one teaspoon of ground cinnamon.  This is followed up with half of a cup of Two Good Plain Yogurt and one tablespoon of almond butter.  I use Sam's Choice No Sugar Added .  If you are not too concerned with sugar or carbs, you can, of course, use the yoghurt of your choosing.  For me, however, this one is the lowest in sugar that I have found, and that is wha

Here there be dragons...

-
I just went to see How to Train Your Dragon , and I loved it!  The animation is great, and the story is a fun fantasy about a kid developing a mutual friendship with a wild creature, who everyone feared, and of course, teamed up, the two are able to show others how to work together to make a positive contribution.  Check out Plugged In's review for all the details--I always do.
