Long Weekend

Another long weekend is upon us in Western Canada. What will you be doing? What will you be cooking or eating?

My plans involve a lot of salad, grilled meat, and time with family. Photos will follow next week... Until then, I head into today with a long list to accomplish and a large mug of espresso in my hand!

Camping & Cooking

Whenever we go camping, we take all the camping essentials and one of those is our camp stove. Okay, it's actually a "Camp Chef" two burner bbq, like this one:

We have a grill box that sits over one of the burners and that is where the grilling of meat and veg occurs.

Steak and Salad

Dinner Saturday night was amazing!! I made a salad and My husband grilled the steaks. Sounds simple, but it was incredible!!

Last Day of School

Yes, the last day of school was at the end of June and I am posting about it nearly a month later!!

I wanted a little something special for the boys at the end of the year, so here is what we made:

Broiled Tilapia on Japanese Inspired Slaw

I cannot BELIEVE how hectic life has been these past two months. The last bit of school was more involved than I thought it would be and I have started organizing my friend's house. Add in swimming lessons and lots of overtime at work for my husband, my own home organization and cleaning, and there is little time left in the day!

On top of that, my husband has embarked on a weight loss journey, so I have been cooking nearly exclusively from his diet plan (with additions of starch, dairy, and fats for the kids). I have had to forge creativity in the midst of strict diet rules and it has been a challenge.

Here is what I made for dinner the other night...
