  1. Ed shops at No Frills, FreshCo, and Superstore mainly. We have Sobeys but Ed considers them too expensive and the only thing we get there are Poblanos. We got Promise bread there before it was carried at Superstore.
  2. Thanks for the reply. I'm overwhelmed right this minute and not sure about buying M&M stuff. We never have before but I'll send Ed in next trip to get a copy of their products if they have a printed version.
  3. At this point, it's ready to eat as is, or ready to heat and eat only. I'm still not well enough to go further than that. Thanks for the reply.
  4. I'll leave out all the drama and just ask for some direction to decent tasting gluten-free products in Ontario. Ed is now gluten ...at least...intolerant.... if not outright unable to tolerate any of it. We found out by accident and now I have to turn my mind (not in the best shape currently ...long story) to finding products he can buy and places to look. We live outside Peterborough and he can go to JoAnne's to start looking. I've not been able to go much of anywhere for a while now and so he's on his own in this one. We have a Main Ingredient store also but we haven't gone there much since our long-time acquaintances sold it. What good products are on the shelves in what stores? He's not much of a food searcher. As my health returns, I'll get back to cooking and baking...I hope...but in the interim, I'm eating almost all of the frozen foods I made some time ago ...and Ed is eating quite a lot of sandwiches on gluten free bread. Promise is the brand he buys at Superstore or Sobeys. All replies gratefully received.

    Cabbage

    The recipe please. I can't seem to find it. Thanks. We love cabbage soup. n n
  6. Don't know how I missed this topic. We bought our Breville toaster oven in 2017 and it just died last week. I loved it to pieces. Used it all the time for almost everything under the sun that I could cook. And now we've bought two lemons....money returned now....Brevilles both of which were terrible and didn't match the temperature anywhere...did not heat up, did not hold the heat....useless. And both from the same store...Canadian Tire.... Now what? Help!!!!
  7. Twice in two days Ed brought home a Breville toaster oven, the same model we've had for years since 2017 to be exact. It's not an air fryer or a steam oven....it just is a small oven. Twice in a row, from Canadian Tire, the Brevilles have been basically garbage....the pre-warming bell rang out that the temperature was 390....and both my oven thermometer and my friend's oven thermometer said...I don't think so....it's more like 225 degrees. That's two duds from one store. What should we buy now? I'm desperate without my toaster oven for small cakes and brownies and you name it. That Breville performed like a champion for 7 years. And then, of course, it didn't. Should we buy a Breville from some other store? Assuming we can find another store in our small city which carries them. They certainly are not expensive but they do outcost many other brands, like Black and Decker and also they are big enough to fit a 12" x 9" pan, just what I need...or an 8" cake or a regular pizza. Give me your best shot please. . photo from box
  8. Seems to me that the words "salad kit" are a giveaway. Certainly keeps us from buying ready-to-eat processed foods, were we so inclined.
  9. Really unacceptable...
  10. We have an old Breville toaster oven which has given us yeoman service. It's basically pretty dirty inside I think...I am a terrible house keeper and have a wonderful cleaning lady who is not only beautiful, but a total delight and the same age as our youngest and she loves to clean...but I've never asked her to clean the toaster oven. And besides it's on its last legs and slowly dying the deaths of a thousand cuts. Sorry.
  11. I would use them as per @Smithy...a thickener in a soup. Not even necessarily a creamy type soup either.
  12. Incredible! And the Super Bowl is tomorrow. And then what for the poor Ontario avocado lover? No, no, say it isn't so!!!!
  13. Normally in Ontario I would say that avocados are over a dollar each...and sometimes almost a dollar and a half. That's for one.
