You Are What You Eat

So many people love to bake... or better yet love to eat baked goods. But in all truthfulness you can just be eating piles of sugar. Switching out certain ingredients or buying your produce from different people can make a lot of difference in your baked goods and your diet.

Buy Smart

Anything you can buy local do it! I'm a strong believer in buying local because your not only supporting people in your community but you are not contributing to the lenghty process of creating and shipping food from across the world. As well cutting out on harsh chemicals that are often sprayed on the produce.

Here is a local Kitchener program you can sign up for to receive locally grown foods from farmers around the area!

Eat Smart

Think about it this way, everything you put inside your body becomes your body. In a sense its kind of like putting gas in a car, you put gas in it not toilet water. So put fresh food into your body, not processed.

Fruits over ANYTHING.

Fruits are so easy to be added into a recipe because they are sweet and universally loved.

Alternatives

Use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. Whole wheat flour contains less sugar, and more fibre. The whole process of making whole wheat flour is less than all-purpose flour, which has to be more refined and processed.

Myths

Brown sugar and white sugar nearly have the same nutritional value. The biggest difference is that the brown sugar gives your baked goods a more brown colour, and more moistness.
