I do love me a green smoothie in the morning. The only trouble is, they make me cold. Like from the inside out cold. So on a cool morning I find it harder to be hankering for a frozen green concoction even though I know they are a great way to get some extra veggies…
Chimichurri Sauce
Steve has a good friend who is in like Flynn with some local cattle producers. He always seems to be coming up with deals on various kinds of meats and seafood and last week called him to see if he’d like to buy some skirt steak. I’m pretty sure Steve had no idea what skirt steak even was…
Mrs. Boswell’s {Best Ever} Chicken Marinade
A lot of my recipes come from friends and when I receive them I immediately rename them to reflect who I got them from. That is the case with this chicken marinade from Mrs. Boswell. Nearly 25 years ago, when my eldest son was just a baby, I met Steve in Texas at the end of…
Barbecued Okra
Living in Canada on the prairies makes us about as far from okra growing country as possible and okra is not a vegetable that is often stocked by my grocer. The other day though, they had the most beautiful and perfect pods of fuzzy green okra. “Steve always says he likes okra” I thinks to myself…
Springing Into The Garden
We have had such a lovely early start to the spring season here that things are a bit ahead I think. Steve and I spent the day in the garden on Sunday, planting the peas, carrots, parsley and a few extra potatoes that my Mom brought with her when they came for Mother’s Day dinner. She…
Grilled Venison Heart
Our niece has been living with us for the past several months while getting established in a new city, and this past weekend she moved her into her own apartment. Exciting times for her. She has waited quite a while to find the right place to finally set up her own pad. My sister in law came for…
Green Peppercorns | Ingredient Spotlight
While perusing my favourite Asian market yesterday I came across a package of green peppercorns in the fresh produce section. I was intrigued. Firstly because I thought they’d be really fun to photograph, and also because Steve LOVES green peppercorns, and I’ve never seen fresh ones before. Green peppercorns come from a tropical vining plant,…
Fried Egg on Arugula
I pretty much have three go-to breakfasts; a fresh green smoothie, venison sausage with homemade sauerkraut, or eggs over some sort of veggie. A few years ago I discovered that draping a fried egg or two over arugula was a really tasty way to enjoy eggs, without the toast. A little drizzle of balsamic, maple…
Smoky Paprika Salmon
We were soooo lucky earlier in the year to be the recipient of some fabulous (flash frozen) wild sockeye salmon caught by a work colleague of Steve’s. His colleague loves to fish but is unable to eat his catch due to an allergy to salmon. How sad for him, and how fortuitous for us! With…
Fresh Mango Salsa
I love mango salsa, especially on meats like chicken or fresh fish. So I decided to mix some up to serve with some lovely wild sockeye salmon fillets that I am going to barbecue tonight (recipe shortly). I always have frozen mango on hand as I love to use it in a morning smoothy. It works perfectly…
