Pancakes

It's been a busy week folks!

For starters, my parents came to visit this past weekend! About two months ago I mentioned to my father that I was starting to consider selling my car and moving up to an SUV. He LOVES car shopping, so it wasn't long after that that he started sending me information on every SUV out there and talking to sales people to get an idea on prices. Over the last month I have test driven quite a few of them... and finally found one that I liked the best. All that's left... is to sell my car! (If you're in the market for a pretty cool Tiburon, let me know!)

Roasted Beet Pizza

We are still slowly, but surely working our way through the vegetables we have remaining from our farm share. While some haven't lasted too long (namely, carrots - my SO seems to be working his way through those pretty good) we still seem to have an over abundance of potatoes and beets taking up space in our cupboards and fridge. So when it came to making supper the other night, I decided I should probably try to use at least one of them... and I decided on beets!

Beets are something I have only recently (in the last year or two) acquired a taste for. Serve those gorgeous purple veggies sauteed, BBQ'd or roasted with a side of sour cream and I am in!! However, over the last week I have been trying to focus on eating a bit healthier so I decided to try something totally new and different - Roasted Beet Pizza!

Thai Curry Meatballs with Kohlrabi & Carrot Latkes

Well folks, today you're getting two recipes for the price of one! How sweet is that!?

I tested out two new creations this evening and they both turned out pretty successful, so I decided to share. Tonight, we dined on Thai Curry Meatballs with Brown Rice and Kohlrabi & Carrot Latkes!

Mini Cheesecake

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians! I hope you enjoyed a fabulous weekend... whether it be with family, friends, or maybe you just had some quality relaxation time at home.

My SO and I had a very busy weekend, full of family and a LOT of food! First, we made the trip to visit with my family and enjoyed a super delicious turkey dinner! Then, we came back home and went to his mom's house for another delicious turkey dinner. And then the next night... our 3rd turkey dinner with his father's side of the family. All-in-all... 3 turkey dinners later and I feel as though I may be permanently stuffed!

Taco Salad

I am a home-body. And that has never been more clear to me than it is now, after 4 weeks of traveling for work. Sleeping in my own bed is glorious! Eating my own food, even better. While it is slowing down, the traveling has not completely stopped yet... this weekend my SO and I will be traveling to visit my family for Thanksgiving, and then I have a few more work-related trips planned. But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!

As I have only been home for, on average, 2 days per week for the last 4 weeks, I haven't been doing a whole lot of cooking (sad face). And, when I have had time to cook, I've tried to select meals that don't require a whole lot of effort. One such meal we've had recently... taco salad.

5 Months Later...

To quote a line from one of my favorite movies... "Goodness gracious, great balls of fire!!"

It has been about 5 months since I last posted a blog...
