Nutan Brown’s

WALL OF FAME ...helping you is what I do

I have had the good fortune to have Nutan Brown represent me both in the sale and purchase of our family homes. In 2014 Nutan handled the sale of our home on Elsfield Road. With her expert advice, professional recommendations, and outstanding sales performance our house sold on the offer date at an excellent price.

When it was time for us to look for a new property I gladly reached out to Nutan.

To say the least, the search for a new home in the Toronto area in 2016 had certainly become challenging. I was discouraged wondering if I would ever find the right space to call home. Nutan Brown was the shining light that gave me hope and who was with me every step of the way. Nutan was patient, diligent, resourceful and determined that we would find the perfect fit for my family. Over the course of a year, Nutan reviewed listings and arranged countless showings never giving up on our search. I was not the easiest client and despite two lost bidding wars, Nutan’s hard work and great negotiation skills led me to the perfect new home. A sincere and heart-felt Thank You, Nutan.

Sincerely,

Joanne Benvenuti SOLD in Sunnylea, Purchased in West Etobicoke

Buying or Selling a home is a very personal decision. It involves weeks, even months, working with your real estate representative, building a relationship based on trust, confidence and exceptional service.

Thank you for the Opportunity!

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

perfect PLAYROOM HOW TO CREATE THE

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.

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.

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
