We spent this past weekend cooking up a storm. I’m actually impressed with how much we managed to get done. We made chicken and beef broth, chili, steak and mushroom pie, prespiced whole chickens, wontons, yam and bean and beef and bean burritos (with homemade tortilla shells and everything), hamburger soup, shepherd’s pie, lots of meat [...]

This was delicious and really easy and quick. The salmon came out nice and moist and perfectly cooked. 1lb salmon filet One of Kris’ favorite meals when we go out to restaurants for lunch is beef dip, sometimes also called French dip. I’ve never attempted to make it before though. Our grocery store had roasts on for a really good price, and in the flyer next to the roasts was a big picture of beef dip. That [...] A pantry challenge basically means to go through your cupboards, refrigerator, and freezer, do a good clean out of anything that may not be usable anymore, and take inventory of everything else. Then, you make a meal plan based on that inventory. The goal is to buy as little as possible besides perishables during the course [...] We had a busy Thanksgiving weekend here. My twin sisters came to visit from Calgary. One of them has only visited once, and it was four or five years ago. The other has never been out here. So it was really neat to see them. I really haven’t spent much time alone with them in a [...] This last month we’ve really gone off the meal plan bandwagon. What with Kris’ surgery, lots of travel, Meredith teething, and just general laziness lack of motivation, it hasn’t been happening. But, I feel like we haven’t been offereing Meredith enough variety and she’s getting to that age where access to a variety of foods is [...] This was supper last night. It was the first time making it, and it was really delicious. Definitely a keeper recipe that we all enjoyed and that will be made again. The recipe as is is vegan and gluten-free. We added boneless, skinless chicken thighs that we cubed and marinated, and then grilled and tossed on [...] Well our visit to the property yesterday was a little anticlimatic unfortunately. We weren’t able to get a tour around it after all, so just had to try and peek through the trees on the edge at it. It looked smaller than we expected for two acres, but again we only got to see a glimpse [...] Avocados are one of my favorite foods. They are so tasty and healthy, and can be adapted to use for a lot of recipes. I’ve heard that they can be used as a substitute for mayonnaise in a lot of recipes too, which is great to know with Kris avoiding dairy. I also really enjoy salmon, [...] I love to see what recipes other families make and enjoy, so I thought I’d start sharing some of mine. We cook almost everything from scratch, and try to eat mostly whole foods and organic when affordable. I’ve had to be a bit creative lately, as Kris is doing an elimination diet in an effort to find [...] |
