This post comes from Sarah, a guest blogger who lives in Melbourne, Australia. The dreaded weeknight dinner, the bane of so many busy working folks’ lives; work can quickly take over our lives, taking the bulk of our time and not providing a whole lot of joy. Perhaps you go to the gym after … Continue reading
Meal-planning is an important part of our week. It allows us to be more prepared and relaxed with regards to our nightly meals and reduces stress. It also makes eating locally much easier because we take the time to figure out what seasonal foods are available and how we can use them. If you live … Continue reading
Things are getting better–I mean in terms of the arrival of summer. It was a long winter and spring has been quite full of cold, windy, dreary days (like winter in Atlanta…). Today however is beautiful! We went as a family to the Kitchener Market and found lots of wonderful things to add to our … Continue reading
June 3-9 These days the menu features lots of green items. It’s wonderful. It also would seem that there is some debate on the internet (and maybe beyond) as to whether it’s healthier to eat leafy greens raw or cooked.

However, asparagus hasn’t come yet (Friday we will get … Continue reading
29 de Abril- 5 de Mayo Spring? Maybe it has arrived. We feel it a little bit more each day. In terms of planning our menu for the week Cinco de Mayo should be an obvious meal choice (if it’s not obvious, it’s going to Mexican!). However, I will still do my best to utilize … Continue reading
I know there are TONS of linky collections and blog hops out there, and I’ve only just discovered them! So it seems a bit soon for me to host my own, but I’m doing it because I haven’t found a blog hop that focuses on LOCAL food. The rules for this 100 Mile Monday link-up … Continue reading
At the beginning of the week I was planning on making the Formosan Fried Cabbage from More with Less but decided I wanted a little bit more “going on” with the recipe. My search for “cabbage and sausage” brought me to Canadian Living’s Braised Cabbage with Apples and Sausage. Then I searched for “braised cabbage” and wound up at a Jamie … Continue reading
