The Best Vegan Aioli / Cheese Sauce (INSTANT POT)

The kids often ask for mac and cheese. I love mac and cheese too but I am just not too thrilled about having to use a ton of cheese and milk / cream to make it delicious. I have tried variations with less cheese and even ones more on the tomato-ey side but it’s just […]

The Best Homemade (No Liquid Smoke) BBQ Sauce

I normally use a store bought BBQ sauce for all of my recipes but having run out for quite some time, I had no way to make the sauce I needed for my seitan creations. Given that the Coronavirus has the world locked down, I am not venturing out to buy more BBQ sauce. The […]

Google AdSense Code Breaks WordPress Customizer, Beaver Builder / Themer and Elementor Page Builders

It’s been a hair-pulling week, to say the least. About 1-2 weeks ago, I noticed some WordPress sites that I manage not displaying properly within Customizer. All other pages display properly. The issue was just isolated to individual blog posts and not across all sites either. The odd thing was, changing to the theme’s default […]

Viofo A119 V2 versus A119 Pro Dash Cam

For almost a year now, I have been running the Viofo A119 V2 dash cam in our car. It’s been pretty flawless since the initial setup. Recently, Viofo reached out and asked if I would do a quick review of their most recent dash cam, the A119 Pro. Received the unit about 2 weeks ago […]

Along with 200,000 Amazon Prime members who purchased an Instant Pot this last Prime Day, I also snagged one during a recent Amazon blow out deal. The deal only lasted for a few hours so I rushed to my local Best Buy and price beat it and get my new Instant Pot instantly! I have been testing […]

How to Watch CBC Olympics App While Away from Canada

As I mentioned last week, Week 10 was when I found a great physiotherapist (Amanda Beers from Excel Physiotherapy) to start active rehab for my Achilles tendon rupture. I fully recommend Amanda if you are ever in need of a physiotherapist, she works […]

Week 10 – Achilles Tendon Rupture Recovery

Week 10 in my Achilles rupture recovery was extremely important. Not only that some patients actually re-rupture the same Achilles during this period, but that this week brought some significant increase in ankle mobility. I am pretty happy with my Week 10 as prior to my physiotherapy sessions, I really wasn’t sure how much force I can safely exert on […]
