Dreary January weekends are the perfect backdrop for baking. Chances are, you’re cookie-d out over the holidays, so scones are where it’s at. We’ve got three easy scone recipes, both sweet and savoury, to try with the kiddos. Just don’t be surprised if you’re compelled to binge-watch Downton Abbey (and you know the kids aren’t going to put up with that).

🥣 Cream Scones: These subtly sweet gems are the perfect vehicle for all manner of toppings, but the classic is a smear of fruity jam.
🥣 Scones with Currants and Honey: Believe it or not, these currant-studded beauties are gluten-free!
🥣 Basil and Aged Cheddar Scones: Add cheese to a scone and we’re in. It’s as simple as that.

For the instructions for each of these scones, just tap the recipe name. Make the Crawleys proud.

Exploring fertility treatment options can be overwhelming. Some people assume before even looking into it that it will be too expensive. Others think that, due to a pre-existing condition, there’s just no point. With that in mind, we spoke to Dr. Kim Garbedian, a gynecologist and reproductive endocrinology and infertility specialist and the medical director of Pollin Fertility in Toronto, to get to the bottom of some of the commonly held beliefs about fertility treatment.

Here are some of the questions she helped to answer:

⚕️ Who can see a fertility specialist?
⚕️ Do you need to have a referral?
⚕️ Is fertility treatment always expensive?
⚕️ What can people expect from their first appointment with a fertility doctor?
