A Little Liberation

January 7, 2009 by Kath

I was lucky enough to spend the entire month of December with my two daughters visiting with my family in Southwestern Ontario (I normally find myself situated in Calgary, and my youngest sister is a Londoner now), hopping around from one person's house to the next, living out of suitcases and … [Read more...]

It’s Fall and I’m Cooking: Tilapia and Green Bean Stew

November 6, 2008 by amreen

It's cold and I want hearty, savoury meals that warm my body and soul.  This recipe satisfies some of my culinary and nutritional goals for the season - I want to cook and eat more fish, expose my kids to different foods, and eat more vegetables.  Try this for some spicy, autumnal … [Read more...]

My Vegetable Love Should Grow

June 16, 2008 by Jen

I was grocery shopping this weekend - I lead a wild life - and the sales clerk, who was a woman in her early 30s, held up a leafy vegetable, needing me to identify it so she could punch in the code. It was kale, which she'd never heard of before. "What do you DO with it?" she asked me, … [Read more...]

One For My Baby

June 9, 2008 by Jen

Wow, I'm tired this morning. So very tired. NEWBORN BABY TIRED. What's with that? I did get up at FOUR THIRTY in the morning (there's a 4:30 in the morning now? Apparently.) to make breakfast for the participants in the Relay For Life, but that was on Saturday and so it's probably not why I'm still … [Read more...]

The Pie of Failure

June 2, 2008 by Jen

One of the very discouraging things about cooking and baking is the grim feeling that a recipe might not turn out when you need it to. Like, oh let's say when your post is due this morning and you got up early to pit cherries - that is the most boring thing to do in the world, by the way. Boring and … [Read more...]

Invalid Cookery And Summer Sickness

May 27, 2008 by Jen

This has been one of the most grueling parenting weeks that I can remember, barring the immediately post-partum weeks which I can't even remember now - a nifty biological trick which keeps my family growing. When my husband got home early Friday evening, I crawled into bed and basically slept for … [Read more...]

Gluten Free

May 20, 2008 by Jen

We all want our lives to be full of sweet things. Finding out that we need to follow a restricted diet is often a very crushing thing, the knowledge that so many of the pleasurable things in life are now lost to us. My Baby, as you probably know, has Celiac Disease and has to follow a strict … [Read more...]

Not All Salads Are Good For You

May 12, 2008 by Jen

I woke up yesterday morning at 6:30 to find The Boy staring down at me intensely. "I'm making you breakfast in bed," he announced. "So you'd better wake up." And that was how I started Mother's Day this year, sitting groggily in bed and eating toaster waffles with LOTS of syrup, … [Read more...]

Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding

February 7, 2008 by Jen

Every night it's the same question: what to make for dinner?  The challenge I've been facing lately is that I'm tired of the same 20+ recipes that I've been making for years.  My cooking forté lies in Indian food - curries, vegetables, rice dishes - and I enjoy preparing stir-fries (more … [Read more...]

Overcoming Inertia and Rediscovering Food TV

January 9, 2008 by Jen

I don't know what's gotten into me since we got home from Calgary.  I'm exhausted - like unusually tired and groggy.  Up until today, I haven't been able to motivate myself to do ANYTHING.  And it's driving me nuts.  Today was a little better:  I actually unpacked our … [Read more...]
