Did you know freezing your sourdough can actually make it healthier? Research shows frozen-and-toasted sourdough causes up to 39% less of a blood sugar spike than fresh bread. The secret is resistant starch, a gut-friendly fiber that forms when bread is frozen. More stable energy, better digestion, and happier gut bacteria… all from your freezer.

Christmas Roast Goose with Haskap Berry Sauce Recipe

Looking for a unique and flavourful holiday main? A Christmas roast goose is a delicious alternative to traditional turkey—especially for families who love rich, dark meat. Goose stays incredibly juicy, delivers deep festive flavour, and can even be cooked a day in advance for stress-free holiday entertaining. This recipe pairs the roast goose with a vibrant haskap berry sauce, a nutrient-rich, antioxidant-packed twist on classic cranberry sauce, making it a standout dish for your Christmas dinner menu.
