GLUTEN FREE KFC CHICKEN

Sabeena Bubber • January 19, 2016

Brine
4 cups buttermilk
1/3 cup kosher salt
2 tsp. Each dried oregano, thyme, rosemary and sage
1 tsp. Granulated garlic
1\2 tip. Cayenne pepper
4 bone in chicken legs
4 bone in chicken thighs


Breading
½ cup gluten free all purpose flour (I used Robin Hood)
½ cup gluten free breadcrumbs (I used Presidents choice)
1 tsp. Pepper
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Oregano
1 tsp. Paprika
¼ tsp. Cayenne pepper
½ cup butter


To make buttermilk brine, in a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and salt. In a spice grinders or mortar, blend the remaining spices until finely ground.


Whisk the herbs and garlic into the buttermilk mixture. Add the chicken to the buttermilk brine ensuring that the chicken is completely covered. Cover and refrigerate for 4-6 hours.

In a separate bowl combine the flour, breadcrumbs and spices. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and toss in the breadcrumbs.

Remove when nicely coated. Place butter and melt in the prepared baking dish.

Then place the chicken in the baking dish and bake at 400 degrees. Turn the chicken first after 15 minutes and then turn again every 10 minutes until a total time of 45 minutes has elapsed. Confirm by cutting to the bone, that the chicken is cooked completely throughout and add more time if needed. No more turning is required if the butter is coated through the crust and the chicken is now becoming crisp.


I have also used my T-Fal ActiFry for this recipe and put the butter with some canola oil in the bottom. The crust didn’t stick to the chicken as well but everyone loved it.

Let’s Talk About Getting Top Dollar for Your Property

By Sabeena Bubber • June 3, 2026
When it comes to selling your home, most people think the first call should be to a real estate agent. But the smartest first step often isn’t with your agent—it’s with an independent mortgage professional. Why? Because your mortgage plays a bigger role in your bottom line than most people realize. Planning to Buy After You Sell If selling means you’ll also be purchasing another property, you’ll want to know exactly where you stand financially before listing. Mortgage rules change regularly, and qualifying once doesn’t guarantee you’ll qualify again. Getting a pre-approval in place ensures you know what you can afford and eliminates surprises later. On top of that, reviewing the terms of your existing mortgage could uncover options you may not have considered. For example, porting your mortgage instead of arranging a brand-new one could save you thousands. Selling Without Buying Even if you aren’t planning to buy right away, there’s still an important step: understanding the cost of breaking your mortgage. Unless your mortgage is open, penalties apply—and they can be significant. By reviewing the numbers with a mortgage professional, you might find that simply adjusting your timeline could reduce or even avoid costly fees. Navigating Life Changes In situations like a marital breakdown, it can feel like selling the family home is the only path forward. But that’s not always the case. With the right guidance and a legal separation agreement, one spouse may be able to buy out the other, keeping the home and providing stability for everyone involved. The Bottom Line Selling your property is more than just putting a sign on the lawn—it’s about creating a financial plan that protects your equity and positions you for the best possible outcome. Before you take the leap, let’s sit down and review your options. 📞 If you’re ready to talk strategy and make sure you get top dollar for your property, I’d be happy to connect anytime.

RRSP Home Buyers’ Plan Explained: A Smart Way to Buy Your First Home

By Sabeena Bubber • May 27, 2026
Saving for a down payment is one of the biggest challenges first-time buyers face. What many don’t realize is that the Canadian government offers a program designed to make it easier—the Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP) . This program allows you to withdraw money from your RRSP to help purchase your first home, without immediate tax consequences. Here’s how it works: Who Qualifies? To be eligible, you generally need to be a first-time home buyer. In practical terms, this means you must not have owned a home in the past four years, nor lived in a property owned by your spouse or partner during that time. There are also special allowances if you’re living with a disability or helping a relative with a disability. In these cases, you can use the HBP even if you’ve owned a home more recently. How Much Can You Withdraw? Under the program, you can access up to $35,000 from your RRSP as an individual. Couples can combine their withdrawals for a total of $70,000 . These funds must have been in your RRSP for at least 90 days before you take them out. Paying It Back The HBP isn’t “free money”—it’s an interest-free loan from your own retirement savings. You’ll have 15 years to repay the full amount back into your RRSP, starting in the second year after withdrawal. Each year, the CRA will send you an HBP Statement of Account outlining how much needs to be repaid. If you don’t make your repayment in a given year, that amount will be added to your taxable income. Why It’s a Smart Strategy The HBP can give first-time buyers a powerful boost toward homeownership. It helps you put together a larger down payment, which can reduce your mortgage amount and monthly payments. Just remember: it’s important to balance the short-term benefit of homeownership with the long-term impact on your retirement savings. Next Steps Thinking about using the Home Buyers’ Plan? Let’s sit down and review whether it’s the right move for you. Together, we can create a strategy that gets you into your first home while keeping your future financial goals on track. 📞 Reach out anytime—it would be a pleasure to guide you through the process.
