Michael and I attended our first ever shrimp boil. It was a perfect afternoon for a bunch of family to gather at my Uncle Ed’s and Auntie Barb’s place to say goodbye (they are leaving Edmonton) and attend Uncle Ed’s now world famous Shrimp Boil. The premise is quite simple. Fill a pot with vegetables…

Random Post of Stuff
Life has been happening and I’ve had to be responsible and engaged in said life activities so spending time here hasn’t happened. But here I am! I’m here! If only just for a second. So what can I say about the food world that will tease and tantalize and make you keep coming back here…
Quinoa and Apple Salad
Quinoa is a super food. It’s rich with protein, is a good source of fibre, contains essential amino acids, and looks weird. Ergo, it must be good for you. I tried eating quinoa about a year ago. I boiled some up and ate it plain. I didn’t feel instantly healthy or impressed. More recently, I discovered…
Lentil Soup
Tomorrow is Monday, the traditional “fresh start” day. I wanted to make a healthy soup that would last throughout the week. I also wanted to use up the veg I had in the fridge, the lentils that have been sitting on my bookshelf in a bag for 6 months, and one of my tins of…
Blush Lane Organic Market Open
Michael and I were out for our evening stroll tonight, and we were pleasantly surprised to find Blush Lane Organic Market. Blush Lane is located on the corner of 82 Ave and 102 Street (Edmonton). The entrance is located on the west side of the brand new Roots on Whyte building, where you will find …
Chicken Soup
Although Michael denies that he’s getting sick (probably worried I’d blog about him and his “man cold”… and he would be correct), he has not been his normal self these last few days. Naturally, my husband’s health and comfort is top of my mind, and the faster he becomes healthy again, the sooner I get…
Monday is a Fresh Start Day
It’s because I ate too much of this over the weekend: That I have to eat more of this during the week: But I’m not always a big fan of the crunch, so I compromise and cut up my veggies, toss with a bit of olive oil, maple syrup, a few bits of thyme and…
Tienda Latina Lunch!
Our friends Bernardo and Carlos at Tienda Latina, not only have Edmonton’s best shop for all things Latino, but they also make one helluva a great roast beef torta (sandwich). If you are hungry at lunchtime, and happen to be driving by the intersection of Argyll Road and 99th Street (Edmonton) pull into the N.E….
Walshinara Sauce
We’ve been eating a lot of meat lately. Mm. Meat. Nothing wrong with meat, but some days the old ticker says, “Hey Walsh, take it easy please.” I listen to my body all the time. And I respond in kind. So when it says, “Hey Walsh, you need to eat that Mint Oreo Blizzard”, I…
Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Last night I celebrated Diwali with friends and had some of the most amazing, most delicious, most flavourful Indian food I have ever eaten in my life. I resolved privately to myself that I would never cook again until I’ve learned how to cook Indian. You think I’m kidding? Ha! I’ve registered to take an…
