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. [...]
A Peek in My Cart – April 26 – May 2
During the week I turned to old favourites to make quick dinners. On the weekend, I enjoyed a little more time in the kitchen.
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 Peek in My Cart – April 19 – 25
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 [...]
A Peek in My Cart – April 5 – 11
I’m continuing on the theme of every meal must include something from the freezer. By the end of the week there’s actually enough freezer space to store some new leftovers – too bad the food that I was freezing didn’t taste better.
Monday – Pot pies with coleslaw
W loves pot pies. So to have me join [...]
A Peek in My Cart – March 29 – April 4
Fully half of my deep-freeze is now taken over with food for our new dog. It’s a tough sacrifice! So we’re on a stretch where every dinner needs to include something from the freezer.
Monday – Chicken cordon bleu, baked potato, frozen mixed veg and a salad
I’m at a Bed & Breakfast in a small town [...]
A Peek in My Cart – March 22 – 28
It’s been a while since I’ve written. I took the time to enjoy the Olympics and a trip to the States.
Now I’m happy to be back to routine.
Monday - Squash & ginger soup with crackers and cheese
I made the soup yesterday with my last winter squash. I enjoyed the leftovers tonight as a quick dinner.
Squash & Ginger Soup
This [...]
A Peek in My Cart – January 25 – 31
I started the week in Masset, Haida Gwaii (a.k.a. Queen Charlotte Islands). Then a trip to the Winter Farmers Market inspired Sat & Sun meals.
Monday – Salmon, roasted potatoes, kale in peanut sauce, chocolate zucchini cake and red wine
A colleague and her partner hosted me for a delicious dinner my first night in Masset. Yes, the salmon [...]
