In the NFL postseason games are more difficult to predict because so much is on the line and the losing team always goes home for the season. With that said, I picked just one game correct in the divisional playoff round. The teams that did advance probably is a good thing for the league because the four best teams all season are in the league championship games. With my picks, several games could have actually gone the other way and if they had, I would perhaps had a few additional picks that were correct. Before I make my picks for…

Breadsticks (also called grissini) are a type of Italian bread that seems like a fairly harmless snack. They’re light, simple, and often made with olive oil, which makes them sound like a healthier option. But are they really as healthy as they appear? The short answer: not particularly, but they’re not terrible either. Most breadsticks are made with refined white flour, a bit of oil and salt. They’re low in fibre and nutrients, but also low in sugar and fat. So while they won’t do you much harm, they don’t offer much nutritionally either. However, they can be part of…

If you’re looking for something a little different than BBQ sauced chicken, this is a great recipe! The sauce isn’t a BBQ sauce, but more like a sweet pineapple style glaze.  What I especially love is there is enough sauce to glaze both the chicken and pineapple, as well as some additional dipping sauce to have after. In my opinion, you can never have enough sauce. You can even save the extra for leftovers, if there are any. This chicken was also a hit with the kiddos, and they were really liking the grilled pineapple. I love how there are…
