Do you have fond memories of time spent in the kitchen making gingerbread cookies while snow fell lightly outside? Perhaps you’ve never baked in your life, our you have a dear family member with a variety of dietary restrictions; or maybe you just want makehealthier holiday treats this year. Whatever the reason, we’ve got a list of key holiday ingredients that will make baking healthy and tasty.
Avoid the crowded malls - and the impersonalness of big box store items - by picking up some stocking stuffers at your neighbourhood Kardish store. Help your loved ones stay happy and healthy this holiday season!
‘Tis the season… to feel wiped out and sick? Despite their festive surface, the holidays can be tough on our health. Our schedules are more packed, the weather is changing, and the food… oh the food. We’ve put together a little “Healthy Holiday Wellness Kit” that’s sure to help with whatever ails you!
The holidays are filled with yummy treats, but with that comes refined sugar, bleached flour, artificial colours, flavours and preservatives. We are all about indulging every now and then, especially during the holidays. We figured that if we could create something healthyanddelicious we could indulge even more, right? We've shared some of our healthy alternatives to typical baking ingredients to inspire a more wholesome and delicious holiday season!

The truth is, at many stores it can be a challenge to find a chocolate bar which you can feel genuinely good about. And there’s still the matter of taste, because if the chocolate doesn’t taste good, it’s going to make a lousy stocking-stuffer.
We’ve pulled together a list of five chocolate makers who not only make delicious chocolate—but go a step further by making their chocolate stand for something good.
Keep the entire family healthy with our list of supplements for parents and kids!

We all know that the healthiest meals are what we prepare ourselves from whole ingredients, but when you've been working late, when you're the only one who can drive the kids to the hockey rink (or the dog to the vet), when you don't have time to focus on food preparation and you don't want to leave a pile of dishes in the sink for when you get back—we do our best to stock choices that you can feel good about.
Summer holidays have ended and you may find yourself struggling to get back into a routine. At Kardish, we understand that transitions can be difficult, especially when we have grown accustomed to sipping cocktails at the cottage under the warm glow of the summer sun (ah, we miss it too). We want help make this a happy, healthy transition so that you can thrive all year long!
