Eat Seasonal: Tangy Quinoa Spring Salad Cups
There’s a sunny spot on my bedroom dresser on the second floor of my house and I’m growing two flats of seedlings in its warmth. If it wasn’t for the perky tomato shoots and the…

These days, the emails are flying thick and fast between my friends and family as we attempt to straighten out our plans for Easter. Although it looks more like Christmas outside on the homestead, we…
These are the days I feel most like hibernating. It’s February during a cold snap, and just the walk around my car to brush off the snow leaves me chattering under my layers. It takes…
I‘ve returned from a week of travel on Canada’s West Coast and have found myself surprisingly short on words. Could I be talked out? It’s entirely possible. First there were two short days on my…
If you’re starting to plan for your Labor Day long weekend barbecue (it’s coming up!), you might want to add this mega-salad to the menu. I created it recently for the KitchenAid Canada blog, United…
Another salad. I know. But after being on the road, it’s all I want to eat when I come home. Yesterday Clara and I headed out to the garden first thing to get inspired for…
Last Saturday I pulled together a salad for a barbecue with bits and bites of ingredients I had on hand – and it turned out to be one of the best dishes I have enjoyed…
With a long weekend quickly approaching, my mind has been on summer and everything that comes with it: warm weather, cold drinks, and plenty of cookouts. I love this time of year because we do so…
Easter is right around the corner, and, for my family, that means there’s bound to be leftover ham and boiled eggs. I rarely want to eat leftovers as-is, so I always try to find a…
Chicken salad was once a food I refused to eat. I found it too mayonnaise-y and bland for my tastes, but that at all changed when I ate the chicken salad at a restaurant near…
It’s back to school and work this week, with a portable lunch line-up for us all: salads in jars. Last spring I sliced radishes and shelled peas for a weeks worth of jarred salads. Today’s…
I‘ve been mourning the lack of produce at the farmers market in the last couple weeks. It seems as if overnight the overflowing stalls of tomatoes and carrots disappeared, packing up their tables and baskets…
If there is one essential ingredient that I have easy access to here in Montreal, it would have to be the baguette. Yep, the bagels are renowned, the croissants swoon-worthy, but I definitely sleep better…
Yes, I did indeed just use “embrace” and “end of summer” together. You see, the way I see it, June is for the planning, July the languishing, and August the embrace at the end. Think…
Please welcome Hanna from Honey & Huckleberries as my guest poster today sharing her favorite picnic supper. Summer has come, with all it’s sunshine, long days, and heat. Here in the Kootenays, summer days are…
Sometimes I don’t always see how ingredients can come together for a finished dish and, like everyone, I have my moments where I open the refrigerator and wonder what on earth there is to eat…
Rainy conditions and toe-tingling cool temperatures dissuaded any notions I had of going out this past weekend. Instead I donned Danny’s hoodie for an extra layer of warmth, and flew about the place, tackling my…
My Mother’s Day was lovely and relaxing, but the week leading up to it was a trying one, and my main support system, Danny, was traveling for work. We’ve all had those days as parents…
Was your Easter lovely? I hope it was. And now it is April? Gracious, I’m so ready for spring, thank you. Today’s post is going to be quick. I’ve got the family around on this…
Before kale was cool, before it was made into cheesy chips or added to smoothies, it grew in my mother’s garden when I was a child. This curly-leafed winter green lived under the snow all…
It’s funny how this salad came to be: a rough chop of leftover greens from the crisper drawer and a few odd bits of scrounged fruit. It wasn’t until I had everything assembled on my…
We can’t drive two miles east or west from our house without passing a roadside market hawking local sweet corn on the cob. The boys spot the signs – usually an upright ear of corn…
Yesterday was Father’s Day, and Danny gave up breakfast in bed to join his dad and the rest of the family for a good cause: the Procure 5k walk to raise funds for prostate cancer…
Written by Allison of Some the Wiser. Welcome, Allison! There are a lot of reasons to skip restaurant meals and eat at home. Cooking your own meals at home is a great way to save…
