The Art Of Baking

  When I was offered a chance to review the artisan soda workshop cookbook by Andrea Lynn.I was so excited to finally be able to make my own homemade soda's with healthier ingredients.It may be a cookbook a little off topic for my blog, but I just couldn't let go of this offer. When the book arrived, my first impression was that it was full of creative ideas.I have rarely seen homemade soda cookbooks and was very interested.I found that this little book reviews the history of soda,healthier ingredients,pop culture names and all the basics.Andrea gives you all that you need to know before starting any recipe.So in your very own kitchen you can experiment by making your own soda's with this very book.Follow her recipes or bring your own ideas to life.I found her words quite helpful,inspiring and direct. So after learning everything that needs to be known. I set off to choose my first tester and it had to be a copycat soda. Which is exactly what this first chapter is

Dairylands Homogenized Milk Dairy land's homogenized milk is a rich, high in fat milk.It contains 3.25% milk fat and is about 160 calories for each cup.It is also high in calcium, Vitamin D and A.It is great to use for your cereal,desserts, baking and also in beverages. For me, I purchased Dairy land's 4L Homogenized milk to test out.I'm an avid milk drinker and use it a lot when I bake frequently.I rarely use the full fat milks for recipes;however I thought to go this route. So of course I tried it out for drinking purposes first and my conclusion is that its quite smooth and rich.It will leave you with that infamous milk mustache.This whole milk will be great to use for special drinks such as chocolate milk,and alcoholic drinks. For my second test, I paired Dairyland's milk with my favorite cereal, Multi Grain Cheerios.I found that the cheerios themselves had layers of flavors and the milk only help bring out those flavors more.The milk was quite simi

Dairyland Review:Part 2 Old Fashion Buttermilk &Aerosol Whipping Cream  When I first picked up Dairyland's Old Fashion Buttermilk at the store.I just knew I had to use it to make home-made buttermilk pancakes.This is because I have always wanted to make these pancakes with real buttermilk and not with replacements.So one fine morning, I finally got the energy to make these bad boys and I was wonderfully surprised.I found such a big difference in flavor,appearance and texture of these pancakes that I now love this recipe.I can no longer go back to my replacements of milk with lemon juice or vinegar;It just isn't the same any more. I now know what real buttermilk pancakes taste like and trust me they are ten times better. However the only negative aspect to all of this is the price for buttermilk can be a little steep, depending on the store.Example: I got this 2L carton for $3.79 at Save on Foods,technically free fo

  Dairyland Product Review  Part 1 I was so excited when Argyle Communication's offered me a chance to review Dairyland products that I just had to jump at the opportunity.They were so helpful with any questions I had and Dairyland themselves was so generous with a $50 Save on Foods Gift card. I was so surprised when I read how much I would receive and I definitely was able to get quite of few treats,which you will hear about very soon.So to make this short, I want to send a big thank you to Argyle Communication and Dairyland for being so generous and helpful.Thank You! So for all of my loyal viewer, you most likely want to hear what I have been up too.Well, simply I have been keeping busy by working and reviewing Dairyland products.So to get this show on the road I will start by telling you about some of the products I have tested out so far.   Dairyland's Cottage Cheese Combo's is the first product I tested out.They are a product sold across Canada and can b
