Summer’s over – I’m coming back
The rain the other day really brought it home that summer is ending. Fall is here and with it comes the return of A Peek in My Cart. Looking forward to sharing with you again what a busy, food-loving dietitian really eats.

Taking the Summer Off
Thank you all for following my blog for the last year.
You will have notices that I haven’t updated A Peek in My Cart for a while now.
I’m choosing to spend the summer getting outside. Yes, including growing veggies, fruit & herbs in our new garden.
I’ll be back when the weather changes in the Fall.
ENJOY the [...]

A Peek in My Cart – May 17 – 23
Sorry folks – there was no cart this week for you to peek in. I had an accident on Monday that left me incapable in the kitchen. Dinner this week was instant Indian dinners, defrosted leftovers and a beautiful meal cooked by friends on Tuesday.
I’m on the mend and I would be in the kitchen [...]
A Peek in My Cart – May 10 – 16
The best part of the week is that it’s Spot Prawn season. W and I went to fisherman’s wharf (near Granville Island) on Saturday and stocked up for the year. The boats get in between noon and 1pm. They sell out fast so get there early. Expect to pay $12/pound and bring cash. We bought [...]
A Peek in My Cart – May 3 – 9
There is tons of socializing this week resulting in very little cooking (on my part).
Monday – Leftovers
I still have leftover mango black bean salad, sunchokes, and other goodies. I’m very satisfied taking advantage of the fridge’s plethora of tupperware containers.
Tuesday – Sushi
A friend is in town from Australia. He moved there from Vancouver this winter. [...]

Monday – Tofu stirfry
I always keep a bottle of teriyaki sauce and a bottle of lower sodium soy sauce in the fridge. They make stir-fry such an easy dinner. Tonight I filled the [...]

A mid-week trip to Victoria meant ferry food for dinner one night and a trip to te farmers market inspired another dinner.
Monday – Egg white, spinach and feta wrap
I’m running around doing errands and meetings again this week. Tonight I grabbed a wrap at Starbucks (there’s always one near-by). Some “emergency rations” from my purse, [...]
A Peek in My Cart – April 12 – 18
This week I continue my hunt for good frozen fish sticks – with somewhat better results. And a day without a plan finds me grabbing whatever is close by.
Monday – Sushi
I’m out and about running errands and going to meetings. Thankfully there is a great little sushi place on 4th Ave near Burrard that has [...]
