Apple & Honey Crumble: Have a Sweet New Year


Good morning!  Its Friday and its going to be a hot one!  Weather has been so all over the place, and right now we're back at summer.  As you know I prefer the cooler temps, but at least its sunny...

We are spending the morning at shul again today but then the girls are going back to school for the afternoon.  Tonight we are going to Adam's parents' house for dinner for Rosh Hashana and a belated birthday celebration for me.

The girls were disappointed I didn't make a birthday cake for myself, so Little A asked demanded I make 2 desserts for tonight: an apple crumble and an apple cake.  Okay, why not?

Here is the delicious crumble recipe...

Rosh Hashana Apple & Honey Crumble

6 apples, cored and chopped (I used large Galas)
2 tbls honey
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

2 cups oats
2 tbls chia seeds
2 tbls coconut flour
1/4 cup coconut oil, butter or Earth Balance, softened
1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for vegan)

Toss apples with cinnamon and honey and place in a greased baking dish.

Combine topping ingredients with a fork until oil and honey are evenly distributed through dry ingredients.  Bake at 375F for about 40 minutes, or until apples are tender and topping is golden.  Cover with foil if top begins to brown too quickly.  Serve hot or cold with yogurt or ice cream.

Japanese 7-Spice Kelp Noodles

I love trying new spices and seasonings, so I am very excited that the President's Choice Black Label line now has a bunch of new spice blends available.  My most recent find: Shichimi Togarashi, or Japanese 7-Spice blend. It's a combination of crushed red chili flakes, sea salt, Szechiuan peppercorns, black and white sesame seeds, poppy seeds, orange zest, wasabi powder and nori seaweed flakes. I make Japanese-inspired dishes all the time, but resort to the same old flavours most of the time: miso, soy, sesame, ginger and garlic.  I was so excited to be able to liven things up a bit. This dish is easy and tasty, although be warned that this seasoning packs punch.  I used 1 tsp, which ended up being too spicy for me, and I have a high tolerance for heat!  I recommend 1/4-1/2 tsp, or, if you don't like heat at all, make your own at home and omit the red chili flakes.  You'll get all the flavour without the heat. I served these noodles with a mix of seafood (

Book Review: The A to Z of Children's Health

Hey there, welcome to Monday!  We had a delightful, relatively quiet weekend.  How was yours?  Hopefully no one in your home was sick...there is a lot of nasty stuff going around these days. If you're a parent, than you have probably spent far more time that you would like to desperately searching Google and/or parenting books trying to figure out if your child's rash, cough or fever warrants a trip to the doctor or if there is something that can be done to treat it.  It's hard not to worry that it could be something more ominous that just an every day infection and while you'd make yourself (and everyone around you) nuts if you panicked every time your kid has the sniffles, as a parent, you naturally want to do everything in your power to prevent your child from harm. Recently I was sent The A to Z of Children's Health , written by doctors Jeremy Friedman, Natasha Saunders, and Norman Saunders, of Toronto's very own Hospital for Sick Children .  One of th

How to Look Like a Celebrity

Okay, I know you're going to be interested in this post! I am sure virtually every woman in North America has wondered how Hollywood celebrities achieve such 'perfect' bodies.  Well, at CAN FIT PRO last week, one of Hollywood's top fitness trainers, Eric the Trainer , was there to tell us fitness professionals the secrets! Eric the Trainer, gave several presentations, and I caught the one on Celebrity Secrets, and it was most interesting!!!  I also found some of what he said rather disturbing. First off, he was very upfront about the fact that celebrities come to him for improve their appearance.  Not to improve their health or athletic performance.  To look their best.  He admitted that his approach then, is entirely dedicated to that end. Male and female celebrities are trained in completely different ways because Hollywood wants women to be lithe and thin and in his words, "look like they dropped out of heaven looking this way without every having ste
