O

ntario homeowners are starting to see that solar panels are a great way to save thousands of dollars, while extending the lifespan of their roof shingles, through the Ontario government’s MicroFIT program. Reputable companies like Free Ontario Solar are facilitating the approval process for homeowners, most of whom will not even have to pay for the solar panels.

Today’s technology allows Ontario homeowners to place solar panels on their roofs and produce electrical power for their neighbourhoods. Ontario is the only province in Canada that has a MicroFIT program that pays Ontario residents great money.

IT’S FREE TO LEARN WHETHER YOUR ROOF WILL QUALIFY

THE SOLAR PANELS & SYSTEM IS FREE TO QUALIFIED HOMES AND YOU STILL MAKE MONEY ON THE PROGRAM OR MAKE MORE $$ FROM ONE OF OUR 6 OPTIONS IF YOUR ROOF IS GOOD FOR SOLAR. You could make up to $3,500 per year, while increasing the value of your home.

A simple phone call and your street address is all it will take to find out. You have nothing to lose by applying, and over $150,000 to gain over the next 40 years. How great would it be to get all of your electrical power for free on Net-Metering!

FOR THE ONTARIO MICROFIT PROGRAM.

Homeowners are being approved daily and there are only a few megawatts of capacity left.

Cauliflower

PIZZACRUST with TOMATO, BASIL, SPINACH and SMOKED

M

ost of us have seen or eaten (or tried to make) cauliflower pizza crusts, mostly yielding unsuccessful results. They don’t taste great and definitely do not resemble pizza at all.

You can stop at this one! You will most likely fool the pizza lovers at your table. It even picks up like pizza! You can make this completely gluten-free if you swap the spelt flour for a gluten-free flour such as chickpea flour, gluten-free oat flour or an all-purpose gluten-free flour.

MAKES: 8 large pieces

INGREDIENTS FOR THE CRUST

• 1 small cauliflower, florets only, 4 finely riced level cups* • 1/2 cup (60gm) spelt flour (or any flour you like) • 1/2 cup (40gm) almond meal/flour • 1 egg, beaten • 1/2 tsp garlic powder • 1 tsp kosher salt • 1/2 cup (60-65gm) finely grated mozzarella cheese • 2 tbsp olive oil MY TOPPINGS

• About 1 cup shredded smoked mozzarella • About 12 cherry tomatoes, quartered • Big handful of spinach • 10 basil leaves torn

* TO 'RICE' THE CAULIFLOWER

Place the florets in the food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse the cauliflower many times until it resembles rice.

DIRECTIONS • Preheat oven to 500˚F and place the oven rack on the second from the lowest position. Heat a cast iron flat top sheet or a cookie sheet (lined with foil if you wish) in the oven as it preheats.

T

• Measure 4 cups of riced cauliflower* in a microwave safe bowl.

Microwave on high for 4 minutes, stopping halfway to toss.

When cool enough to handle, squeeze the liquid out of the cauliflower using paper towels. Allow the cauliflower to cool a little before adding the egg and cheese.

• Add the two flours, salt, garlic powder and stir well. Add the egg and cheese and work the dough with your hands so that it is all evenly distributed.

• Carefully remove the sheet from the oven, place it down on a heatproof surface. Brush the sheet with the olive oil. Spread the cauliflower mixture in a large oval, making a lip, like a “pizza crust edge.” I will spread it as much as I can with my hands (it is hot), then sometimes put a piece of parchment on top of the flattened cauliflower and using a rolling pin, roll over the parchment to make even thinner, then make a nice raised edge.

• Bake the crust without the toppings for 10 minutes, remove from the oven and sprinkle the crust (starting with the cheese) with all the toppings. Bake for another 8-10 minutes.

• Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, cut and enjoy! DELICIOUSDISH

C

hildren are full of surprises. From your heart to your home, they sure do make an impact. If there's room to spare, it's great for kids to have their own space––a place to play, make noise, jump around and unleash their creativity. But how does one create this super room that has to be fun, safe, multi-functional and inspiring? It's more than possible, and it just might save your sanity. Follow these top tips to create the perfect playroom.

M

SOUNDPROOF Kids are noisy. You might be thinking there's no way around this one, but soundproofing insulation has you covered. If you don't enjoy the noise of boisterous play permeating to other areas of the house, than this is the perfect solution. Experts often recommend a product called Roxul Safe 'n' Sound, because its high-density composition and non-directional fibre structure do an amazing job of turning your indoor playground into a quiet zone. It is also made with natural and recycled materials and is Greenguard certified for indoor air quality.

STORAGE Whether it's toys, board games, books, tiny collections or craft supplies, it's sometimes surprising how much stuff there is to tuck away. Keep things looking tidy and organized with clever storage pieces. Look for items that pull double duty––great from a design perspective, but with easy-access, pull-out drawers or shelving.

Neatly labeled clear plastic containers are also a favourite, as are built-in benches with toss cushions. Be sure to keep plenty of open floor space, because kids love to and need to move. >>>

SAFETY It's important to tailor safety measures to your child's age and stage of development. A good rule of thumb is to ensure that all large furnishings are secured to the wall to prevent toppling. Soft storage drawers or lightweight bins are better than heavy plastic tubs or large toy boxes. Outlet covers can help reduce risk for younger children. Consider green building materials and low VOC paints. Install parental controls on any computers, tablets or electronic devices.

SPECIAL F E AT U R E S

MÅLA Easel available at IKEA

Kids love to unleash their imaginations. If you have the space, consider a small, elevated stage for performances. A painted chalkboard wall is always a hit, along with a designated gallery for their creative masterpieces. A play table is ideal for colouring, painting and crafts, while cushioned benches or bean bag chairs can provide a relaxing place to kick back and read a book. Don't forget bookshelves––active readers have active imaginations, and that's sure to inspire even more amazing ways to play. THN www.newscanada.com
