    I’m just so thankful that I’ve found your site. It’s so helpful!

    Our Sophie kitty hates fireworks, too. Thankfully the pups are okay with them.

    Canada day has me homesick (despite the fact that I can drive to Southern Quebec within 3 hours). I may have to make some Canadian favorites for dinner to get me through it. And with my new healthy ways I’m pretty sure my body wouldn’t handle poutine. Thanks for the list of ideas (especially the tarts)

      Yes, cook up something red and white! How about a strawberry coconut-milk ice cream? Mmmm–patriotic AND health/delicious! 😀
