Well another new year has come and thanks to Covid its been pretty uneventful, AGAIN! Hopefully this is the year we will start seeing the end of all the doom and gloom that is Covid and move on to getting back to life. Over the last 2 years we [...]
This dish was born from the deep draws of my fridge. I am usually meticulous with my meal planning as I hate to waste food and lately one trip a week is all I wan to do. I had a bunch of veggies left over and a package of frozen [...]
Cauliflower is a great substitution for potatoes and rice! You can use it to replace the topping on a Shepherds Pie, roasted in the oven, in place of rice in a stir fry and in this case a delicious creamy soup that everyone will devour! This soup is ready in [...]
Each week during this pandemic I am trying to make as much food as I can from scratch. For one, I have all the time in the world and second, I can control the ingredients that goes into each meal. We all know that canned soups are full of sodium [...]
This dish is super easy to make but just a little time consuming due to cooking times but don't let that scare you away. It makes a beautiful Sunday evening meatless meal, especially in the fall when the squash are in season and at their best. I was able to [...]
This salad makes a nice light meal for lunch or dinner and the addition of the tofu ups the protein count. You may choose to not blanch the red cabbage but I like the way the purple pops after blanching and the flavour seems to be more intense. The best [...]
My garden has truly been a garden of plenty and I am amazed every time I go out there. Zucchinis are like baseball bats, cherry tomatoes by the truck load and once dug up my carrots are lovely bunches of orange goodness. They are not long leggy ones like you [...]
From week to week I plan our menus. I only have one big shop to do at the grocery store, I know exactly what I am going to make and I usually look at my garden and I know what fresh fruits and vegetable I have available. On this occasion [...]
These omelets are so easy to make and very versitile. They make a nice brunch or a light dinner. I used two frying pans to make each individual omelets but one frying pan will do as you will be popping them into a hot oven to heat up again after [...]
I have such a pile of tomatoes everyday from my garden I have a hard time keeping up with the harvest so enough was enough, time for some soup! While I was making this soup I was actually short a few so out to the garden I went to harvest [...]
I know we have already discussed this but my garden never ceases to amaze me. The fruits and vegetables that I am harvesting are beautiful, full of colour and absilutely massive. The zucchinis are the size of a small baseball bat so naturally stuffed zucchini are the fist thing that [...]
My garden is starting to explode with a truck load of cherry tomatoes, HUGE zucchinis and tonnes of various peppers. I went out yesterday and picked an entire bowl of hot and sweet peppers which was wonderful but I said to myself, "Self, there are only so many peppers, especially [...]
I love green beans! They are wonderful raw as a snack, steamed or fancied up like this peanut buttery dish. Green beans are a bit of a little power house as far as stringy little green veggies are concerned. They are low in fat, high in potassium, low net carbs [...]
I don't think I have met anyone that doesn't like pizza. There is also so many different types of pizza that you are bound to find a combination you like. The only problem is that the pizza crust is ridiculously high in carbs and unfortunately there is more crust that [...]
We went camping this past weekend and the weather was amazing. Probably the best camping weekend we have had in years. Three days and two night with no rain in sight, a beach bums dream come true. I am a big list person. I make lists for everything so I [...]
Jicama (pronounced HEE-kah-mah) is not a vegetable I would have thought to try but I am glad I did. It is referred to ad a Mexican Turnip, Mexican Yam or even Mexican potato. Chopped, cubed, sliced into fine sticks, raw or cooked, jicama is versatile and great in stir-fries, salads, [...]
