My contribution this week for 100 Mile Monday is a fairly light meal—salad and rolls! But the salad is not such a light salad, as it has lentils, beets, cabbage, blue and cheddar cheese, and… bacon! And the rolls are actually whole wheat popovers (or according to our friends, “Yorkshire Pudding”). Enjoy this meal by […]
29 de Abril- 5 de Mayo Spring? Maybe it has arrived. We feel it a little bit more each day. In terms of planning our menu for the week Cinco de Mayo should be an obvious meal choice (if it’s not obvious, it’s going to Mexican!). However, I will still do my best to utilize […]
Totally amazing video of One Year in the Garden. This video definitely conveys what we know is happening and can feel but are unable to actually see with our own eyes!
I realized Wednesday morning that I didn’t have apples for the Beet and Apple Salad! I was moping around before Madame left for work and she said to me, “Why don’t we just eat one of our frozen meals?” So we did. And the meal was a fairly complete meal—vegetables, protein, carbs—so I decided not […]
This week I wrote a post for Foodlink, Waterloo Region, in their Local Dish. Foodlink as a really cool local non-profit organization that works to promote local food in the Waterloo Region. They work hard to link local producers to consumers. One example of how they do this is with their Buy Local! Buy Fresh! […]
Well, in lieu of posting a new 100 Mile recipe today I had a great conversation with Jennifer from HOMEGROWN.org. You can check out the chat we had here (it reads from the bottom-up because it is a “comments interview.” In the meantime, I’ll be posting a new recipe in the next day or two so […]
April 22-28 We have several new recipes to try this week and once again most of them come from the Food & Wine cookbooks. Because my Young Assistant has swim lessons on Monday nights at 6pm he and his brother eat early and Madame and I have a quiet dinner together after they go to […]
I will start by saying that gnocchi is so so so awesome! Furthermore, beets are so so so awesome. So it follows that Beet Gnocchi is so so so so so so awesome! Well, that’s ridiculous, but what I mean to say is that Beet Gnocchi is really amazingly good, and you need to make […]
A few weeks back I built a hoop house for helping get some of my early spring greens started and that went well and now is covering lots of little plants that seem quite happy! However, for plants that I can’t risk leaving out overnight (like peppers, tomatoes, tomatillos, ground cherries, eggplants, etc) I […]
I know there are TONS of linky collections and blog hops out there, and I’ve only just discovered them! So it seems a bit soon for me to host my own, but I’m doing it because I haven’t found a blog hop that focuses on LOCAL food. The rules for this 100 Mile Monday link-up […]
