Cold Beet Apple & Leek Soup

7/26/2017

2 Comments

 
By: Tamara Saslove, P.H.Ec.

With the warm summer weather, a bowl of piping hot soup doesn’t always sounds too appetizing. But fear not, there are tons of cold soup options including this delicious and simple beauty of a soup! Beets, apples and leeks join together in this recipe to offer an alternative to a classic Beet Borscht.. with a lighter flavour that everyone will enjoy.
​
One common mistake I find myself running into whenever I make a cold soup is that I often leave it until the last minute.. or the last couple hours and it doesn’t have enough time to fully cool. You can make this soup a day in advance, or the morning / early afternoon of when you plan to eat it in order to give yourself enough time and ensure you are serving up this soup how it is intended.. COLD!

Equal Pay - A Petition

7/10/2017

0 Comments

 
PETITION TO THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA
  • It’s 2017, and Canadian women continue to make just 73.5 cents for every dollar a man makes. These numbers are even lower for Indigenous and women of colour. On a global scale, the gender pay gap in Canada is more than twice the global average, according to research firm Catalyst Canada, the Canadian pay gap is on average $8,000, while globally it's at $4,000;
  • Although the Government of Canada and Canadian culture as a whole has an emphasis on all aspects of diversity, Canada has been quite slow to deal with the gender pay gap. In fall of 2016, the Government of Canada promised a new pay-equity legislation, but it won’t be introduced until the end of 2018. This runs the risk of law not being passed before the next federal election; and
  • There have been studies that argue the gender pay gap is lower in the public sector vs. the private one, but a gap is still a gap. Pay equity is a human right under the Canadian Human Rights Act. Canada needs to close that gap immediately, and once again be a role model on a global scale in the area of human rights.

Food Safety Initiative - Looking for OHEA Member Contributions

7/10/2017

0 Comments

 
We are proud to be promoting food safety via our social media platforms in conjunction with The Canadian Partnership for Consumer Food Safety Education (CPCFSE). ​We are looking for tips from our members to share in order to communicate and educate consumers about food safe practices. 

We have set a goal of posting 3 photos + tips each month and are looking to you to help us achieve it!

It's super simple! All we need from you is...

1. An original photo
2. A brief description of a unique food safety tip or a brief description of what food safety means to you.

We will put the two together to create an infographic similar to the two below submitted by OHEA members Jason Eaton, P.H.Ec., and Tamara Saslove, P.H.Ec., and presto, we will share your photo and tip on all OHEA social media platforms to help increase public food safety awareness!
Click here to find more inspiration on the CPCFSE Be Food Safe website.

Please send your contributions to Tamara and Jason : tamara@ohea.on.ca & jason@ohea.on.ca
