January 18 is Global Pulse Day + free pulse cookbooks download


Happy Global Pulse Day!

Aren't pulses = legumes?
Why today is not Global Legume Day?

According to Pulse Canada, pulses are part of the legume family. But only dried seed such as dried peas, edible beans, lentils and chickpeas are in the pulse family.

Why pulses are good?

1. Have very high level of protein and fibre but low in fat
2. Rich in minerals such as iron, zinc, and phosphorous
3. Have folate and other B-vitamins

I love the fact that I can use pulses to make gluten-free yummy food. Up-to-now, I have been using rice flour, brown rice flour, almond flour, oat flour or coconut flour to replace wheat flour. Well, it's getting boring and I'm open to explore new ingredients.

So, I'm very happy to see we can download free recipe books from Pulse Canada.

We can also download Printable Recipe Cards from Pulse Canada. Some are written in French, too.

Thank you Pulse Canada

Let's have fun cooking with pulses, my friends!!

The 2016 Toy Mountain campaign


30 more sleeps until Christmas, my friends!

It's time for us to prepare our new, unwrapped toys for the Toy Mountain.

I try to buy toys that nurture creativity and imagination. Also no batteries needed. If any parents don't have money to buy Christmas presents, they won't have money to buy batteries for toys, either.

2 years ago I bought a Disney Frozen Tea Set at Wal-Mart.
Last year I bought a craft kit by Creativity for Kids at Chapters.
This year I bought a box of Mega Bloks at Wal-Mart.

I tend to buy toys for girls, I guess next year I should buy one for a boy.

Want to know more about how you can donate a toy or be a volunteer? Please check the Toy Mountain website.

Don't have time to buy a toy or be a volunteer?
We can donate money online instead. 

Ottawa

Toronto

Winnipeg

Vancouver (only cash donation accepted)
On December 8th and 9th, please drop off a donation of cash at Guildford Town Centre. New, unwrapped toys are also welcome. 


Thank you for spreading Christmas Joy to children in need!

Have an awesome weekend, my friends!!
