for the love of a good sandwich: foodie friday
Filed Under foodie friday | September 2, 2011
So here’s the thing. I addition to an irrational Pinterest addiction, I have a Food Network problem. I love me some food TV…and if its reality food TV? Sign. Me. Up. Lately, I’ve been enjoying the Next Food Network Star. A bit back bitey at times, but the winner was one of my top choices [...]
foodie friday: eat better together
Filed Under foodie friday | August 19, 2011
I have a confession to make. I have a bit of a picky kid. He eats fairly balanced meals, but there isn’t too much variety in his diets. If he could, he would survive on watermelon, eggs, cheese, noodles, cucumbers and blueberries. One thing that tends to help with encouraging his eating is if he [...]
foodie friday: from beans to bombay
Filed Under foodie friday | July 15, 2011
In a past post, I mentioned my newly rekindled loveaffair with the chickpea. As promised, here is the incredible, edible, Bombay Hummus recipe from one of my favourites, the ReBar cookbook. Its a surprising take on a traditional hummus. The additional layers of spices really kick it up a notch (my apologies Emmeril). I find [...]
tea for two: foodie friday
Filed Under foodie friday | July 1, 2011
I know its odd, but summer makes me think of High Tea. It reminds me of some of my fondest memories of my childhood. My beloved Gan lived in Victoria and was very British (even though she was born and raised in Vancouver). Once I was old enough, she took me to High Tea at the [...]

Its strawberry season, its strawberry season! Hooray! The giant baby consumes strawberries at an alarming rate. In fact, I’m fairly certain he would eat nothing but strawberries 24 hours a day if we let him (and if it didn’t do horrifying things to his digestive system). We’ve been giving him California strawberries much to our [...]
feeding a picky kid: foodie friday
Filed Under foodie friday, guest bloggers | June 17, 2011
This week’s foodie Friday is guest blogged (and guest reciped)by Andrea E. Niosi, the clever mum behind My Picky Kid. I recently came upon My Picky Kid as I was tearing through the inter-web looking for solutions to get my own picky kid to eat something other than refried beans, strawberries and mac and cheese. [...]
all hail the mighty chick pea: foodie friday
Filed Under fitness, foodie friday | June 10, 2011
I don’t know if anyone noticed, but its been awhile since I have posted about my adventures in the wonderful world of wellness (wow…thats a lot of w’s). I think its because I’ve been a bit disappointed in myself and the plateau of death as I like to call it. I’ve lost 15 pounds since January, which [...]
adventures with rhubarb: foodie friday
Filed Under foodie friday | June 3, 2011
Last year I rediscovered the joys of rhubarb compote and made pots and pots of it which I froze and ate with yogurt all winter long. This year I’m relishing it again, but I’ve modified a recipe from one of my favourite cookbooks, Earth to Table. One thing I find about compote-like recipes is that [...]
life is too short for bad food: foodie friday
Filed Under foodie friday, sponsored posts | May 27, 2011
When we think of Galloway’s Speciality Foods , we hearken back to days of old…like the eighties. We remember visiting Galloway’s on Robson with our parents to stock up on spices and nuts and grains (oh my) and all other things bulk and fabulous. The smell of the store was like being in a spice [...]
