💙 Halloween spirit meets team spirit! 🇨🇦

Dr. Lisa and I are all dressed up today — inspired by a wave of Blue Jays pride that hit us during last night’s game!

We couldn’t resist celebrating both Halloween (we had other costumes planned for today) and our love for Canada’s team.

Go Jays go!

From picking up the kids to unloading groceries, lifting is part of daily life. But how we lift can make a big difference in how our back and body feel, especially over time.

I don’t have a home office.
But on occasion, I can get work done from my kitchen.
However that often involves our cat - Emma- on my lap 🤪
Certainly not the most ergonomic set up but that’s life!

We’re all guilty of spending a little too much time looking down at our phones or computers — and our necks feel it!

“Tech neck” can lead to stiffness, headaches, and even poor posture over time.

Regular chiropractic care helps restore alignment, relieve tension, and keep your neck feeling great.

✨ Lift your screen. Roll your shoulders. And let us help you feel your best.

Digital devices are part of modern life, from work to entertainment to staying connected. But constant screen time can take a toll on posture, mood, and sleep. That’s where a screen-free Sunday (or any regular break) may offer a much-needed reset.

As some of you may know I (Dr Lisa) and gluten intolerant. I also tend to avoid store bought Gluten Free treats.

However I LOVE to bake up healthier gluten-free treats.

I have a personal love of fruit crisps and I make them all year around with various fruits (rhubarb/peach, peach/blueberry...)

This one is super tasty and yet

Recipe (courtesy of Bojon Gourmet) https://bojongourmet.com/paleo-apple-crisp-almond-flour/

Apples:

2 pounds sweet-tart apples (such as fuji, honeycrisp, or pink lady; about 7 medium)
ÂĽ cup apple cider or juice
1 tablespoon maple syrup (more if your apples are very tart)
1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
â…› teaspoon fine sea or kosher salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, vegan butter, or coconut oil, diced

Crumble Topping:

Âľ cup (80 g) blanched almond flour*
ÂĽ cup (35 g) cassava flour*
1 ½ tablespoons (11 g) tapioca flour
½ cup (50 g) toasted pecans or walnuts, coarsely chopped*
â…“ cup (45 g) coconut sugar or maple sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
ÂĽ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
ÂĽ teaspoon fine sea or kosher salt
5 tablespoons (70 g) unsalted butter, vegan butter, or coconut oil, melted

Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350ÂşF.
Peel the apples using a T-shaped vegetable peeler. Cut the apple flesh off the core by standing a peeled apple upright and cutting downward next to the core to remove large chunks of apples. Place the chunks cut side-down and slice them fairly thin – about three-eighths of an inch.
Toss the apples in a large bowl with the apple cider, maple syrup, lemon juice, and salt.
Scrape the apples into a 9-inch round baking dish with 2-inch high sides (or an 8x8-inch square pan).
Dot the apples with the cubed butter.
Bake the apples at 350 until bubbling, 30-35 minutes. Stir gently.
