Food That Makes You Feel As Good As Our Long Awaited Spring! {w/Recipe}

After a VERY LONG winter, spring has officially arrived. Even though in my neck of the woods, we had snow and freezing rain yesterday, I am still confident spring will soon be arriving here too! It is time to break out of our long winter rut and try something new. It’s time to whip up some food that makes you feel as good as our long awaited spring!

PUMP UP YOUR GRAINS

Need a change from pasta night? Try incorporating grains into your meal instead. As part of a salad or main course, grains are a versatile ingredient and a healthy substitute for pasta or rice.

TRY GLUTEN-FREE

Think gluten-free equals taste-free? Think again! Whether you are trying to decrease your gluten intake or just want something new, the President’s Choice® brand has many flavourful gluten-free products for you to try.

FILL YOUR GLASS

Getting the recommended daily intake of water can be a challenge. Why not mix it up with flavoured waters and delicious teas? I think you will find you will be increasing your water intake in no time at all.
