I finally made biscotti!! Some of them are covered in a homemade royal icing glaze, others are covered in chocolate, and the rest are left plain.. but they’re not as pretty!
Perfect for tea time <3

Product: Gardein dijon chicken breasts
Price: $5.99 for two chicken breasts
Verdict: 4/5 -If done correctly!
Alright, when I first tried these from the directions on the box, I was not a fan. They are already marinated in a light dijon sauce, and they also come with a big packet of dijon sauce as well, which I usually ditch because I don’t like the taste of it. I’ve cooked these a few ways, on the box it says to microwave them, I really didn’t like them that way, they pretty much just tasted like soggy tofu. (Yum!) So instead, I did some playing around and I highly recommend turning on your BBQ, defrosting your ‘chickens’ in the microwave, getting out your favorite BBQ sauce and seasoning, and putting on your party pants because these turn out d-e-licious! I seasoned mine with a light smokey-BBQ sauce, and then added Montreal Steak spice to it when they were almost finished.
Serve it up with some potato salad and some root-beer and you have yourself a party! (To go with your party pants perhaps?)
You can buy these at a ton of health food stores, such as Nutters, or even Superstore, Save-on-Foods, or Sobeys.

Pita Pizza From Rutabegorz in Fullerton, CA.
I hadn’t had anything that resembled a pizza in months and lately I’ve been craving it, problem solved when I took my mom to her first dinner at Rutabegorz! This veggie-loaded pizza was made up of a whole wheat pita, meatless marinara sauce, artichoke hearts, zucchini, red onion, black olives, tomato, and bell peppers.
This looks freaking amazing. I’m going to make pizza now.
CANDY APPLES.
