So I had NEVER had a salmon burger before my Uncle Manny came to town and decided he would make us some. His secret, he says, is that salmon burgers need to be made of salmon. No egg, no binder, just salmon. And man, is he right. Salmon Burgers Ingredients: 1lb fresh salmon, skinned, chopped… Continue reading Salmon Burgers

September Freezer and Pantry Clean-out
Our pantry is getting full. Which is such a great problem to have - but I'm worried now about wasting food - so I've decided that in an effort to go through our food properly, I'll be doing a clean-out. This also coincides with coming home from vacation and trying to make up for the… Continue reading September Freezer and Pantry Clean-out
Food Challenge Update
Challenges are challenges for a reason, right? Because they're not easy. I had mentioned in a previous post that I wanted to get our budget down to 250$ per month. Unfortunately it's not as easy as saying it and it happening! I have, however, slowly reduced it. In June, we spent 688.70$ (honestly I'm not sure… Continue reading Food Challenge Update

Breakfast Mushroom Gravy
I mentioned this in last week's 'The Weekly Grin', but when we went to Portland last year, my husband and I fell in love with the wonderful vegetarian gravy options available in Portland. Our absolute favourite was Miss Delta! We went there twice for brunch and it was just ridiculously good. I had worked and worked… Continue reading Breakfast Mushroom Gravy
Peaches peaches peaches!
What do you do when you subscribe to a peach box and get 13 beautiful fresh peaches each week? You make ALL of the peach things... and then you can them! What a wonderful gift later in the year for Christmas -- fresh homemade canned peach anything and everything! So far, I'm on my fifth… Continue reading Peaches peaches peaches!
Potato Cabbage Piroshki
This is a childhood favourite recipe of mine! We would make this together, helping to roll out the dough or fill our own piroshki. My favourite dishes tend to be ones that we would make together as a family. It's one of the things I'm looking forward to doing with my daughter once she gets… Continue reading Potato Cabbage Piroshki
