¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo! On this May 5th I find myself reminiscing a bit… I spent almost three years of my life living in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. While living there my absolute favorite food was pupusas. They’re not hard to love, considering they are pretty much like the corn tortilla version of pizza (which I am rather […]
I’ve been enjoying my hot fermented carrots for a couple weeks now and will soon be making another batch. Well, actually the next batch will be different, as I’m going to try different flavors than this batch because it ended up being a bit hot for Madame and way too hot for my Young Assistants. […]
This post was originally written for Bailey’s Local Foods. I’m very new to the world of fermentation, especially when it comes to foods. I didn’t grow up eating sauerkraut and still find it a bit odd. However, the first time I had kimchi I knew I’d have to learn how to make it (because I’m […]
May 13-19 This week’s planning was different (which is why if you follow this blog you may have seen a mistake post this morning!) mainly because we got our produce on Thursday and Friday instead of at the Saturday morning Kitchener Market. Thursday we picked up our “bag” (it was a bin) from Grand River […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
So, before you think I cooked all this in one day you should know that the roasted veggies were leftovers. But they were still great, in fact, they were maybe even better because they weren’t quite soft enough the first time. The celeriac-beet salad was fairly simple, although celeriac can kind of be a pain […]
I came across the Kusherie recipe in the More With Less cookbook back in January. I tried it and my family loved it! It is a straight-forward recipe that brings together a number of wonderful flavours and textures and makes a really filling meal! With a side of glazed carrots and yogurt the whole meal […]
