Protect your teeth with ProNamel while still enjoying the taste of fall! ~ Apple Crisp Recipe

With Fall well underway I am sure everyone is enjoying the harvests of fall with delicious apples, pumpkins and squash but are you taking care of your teeth properly before eating or drinking items that are acidic? Apples are very acidic and before enjoying these healthy fruits one should use a toothpaste that will protect their teeth from the effects of Acid Wear. 

Did you know that nearly half of Canadians (46 per cent) say they consumer fresh fruits and fruit juices daily? I am really happy about the numbers when it comes to fresh fruit. 

ProNamel is proven to help protect from the effects if acid wear and also provides many of the benefits of a regular toothpaste like cavity protection, breath freshening and it also helps to remove plaque with brushing. ProNamel is safe to be used twice a day, everyday as your regular toothpaste.

I especially love the cool minty taste of the ProNamel toothpaste. I was actually quite surprised as usually mint isn't my favorite as it can be over powering. This one is just a nice mint and the paste is not gritty but very smooth going onto your teeth and in your mouth.

ProNamel helps to re-harden acid-softened enamel making it stronger and ore resistant to future acid wear. Now you can keep enjoying your favorite foods and beverages! A few of our families favorite fall dishes are apple pies and apple crisp. My son also LOVES my homemade cinnamon apple sauce.

We recently tried a new apple crisp recipe by Rose Reisman but changed up a few things. I didn't have dried cranberries in the house (hmm I think we have a cranberry monster snacking on them) raisins were the substitute. I also didn't have cornstarch so I used flour instead. 


Visit ProNamel and take the quiz to see if you are at risk for Acid Wear. Find out the Truth about acid on the website also.

New Knitting Project - Web Hat

Today I want to share more updates on my knitting journey. I have decided to jump right into making a hat. Yes, I know it is almost spring but there is still time and well I can always wear it in the fall. I can also wear it during the colder mornings when out on walks with Molly. 

I know I am jumping right from making dishcloths and one cowl right into a non-basic beanie but I am determined to learn to read a pattern and not feel overwhelmed by it. 

Here is the hat I choose:

Source Ravelry Pattern by Natalia Kolasa

This pattern involves counting stitches as I go and changing needles a couple times. Now that I know how to cast on, purl, knit, increase, decrease and bind off, I figure I can do this. The thing that scares me is counting the knit and purls while on the same round and also the task of switching needles. 

I went into one of the Wool stores in the city after work the other day and picked up needles and wool. It is a HUGE store and I can't wait to go back and have more time to just browse around. I was also a really good girl and went in with the pattern on my phone and got only what I needed to make it. I didn't buy everything I liked. 

I decided on a nice chunky deep brown with colored flecks. I figure this will be a forgiving color if I mess up a stitch here or there, the first time through the pattern.

Check out the patter for the Web hat by Natalia Kolasa on Ravelry. You will need to sign up for an account but it is quick and free. There are tons of patterns available lots for free and some that you can buy. 

I will be posting pictures as I go on Instagram. If you would like to follow me you can find me as Canadiancouponmom. I also post pictures of my kids, pets and food. I will post my finished work as soon as it is done on the blog!
