This is one of our favourite dinners. Can not go wrong with chicken and cheese and if you want to make this a truer replica of cordon bleu, sneak in some ham underneath. Reg does not eat pork so this is the closest I get to this fabulous dinner. I used to flatten out the […]
President’s Choice All-Butter Scottish Shortbread Collection Product Review
Next out of the holiday gift basket is PC All-Butter Scottish Shortbread Collection. You can watch the unboxing video here.

Product Test: Robin Hood’s Nutri Gluten-Free Flour Blend

Normally I am all for gluten but have a gaming friend who is gluten-intolerant so I thought I would put it through my test kitchen.
