What all do you do for Thanksgiving? We end up going to around three events every year and have been hosting a Friendsgiving for the past 4 years. Since we are less than a week away from Thanksgiving and it is crunch time, I thought I'd share some of my favourite vegetarian and vegan recipes… Continue reading Holiday Recipe Lineup!
The Weekly Grin

I actually cooked mostly my own recipes all of this week, so I wanted to share a few recipes from the last couple weeks. I'll also be sharing some of my holiday planned recipes this weekend… Continue reading The Weekly Grin
Kimchi Fried Rice
When I lived in Korea, often times when going out to eat with my host family, it was always somewhere to eat 'meat'. We would go and order Samgyeopsal (Korean style pork belly), Galbi (marinated ribs), or Bulgogi (marinated beef). The server brings out the meat to your table, and you cook it on the… Continue reading Kimchi Fried Rice
October Food Challenge Update
October went by so quickly, I don't even know what happened! We ended up at 220.55 for groceries and 110.18 for restaurants for a total of $330.73. This equals to about 5.33 per person per day or 1.78 per meal. This was an ideal month for us! So what did we eat? In the middle… Continue reading October Food Challenge Update

Summer Harvest Strata
Right before the first frost, we harvested all of our tomatoes off of the plants as much as we could. I got a whole bunch of San Marzano tomatoes, dried them, and now have this lovely batch of sun dried tomatoes to use up. My husband made two loaves of bread and voila! I knew… Continue reading Summer Harvest Strata

Crockpot Apple Butter
Apple butter is a beautiful wonderful comfort food. Slathering it on top of my husband's fresh made bread with some salted butter and the combination is wonderful. This recipe is Grandpa approved. Made with real apple cider vinegar, cooked low and slow so that the apples' natural sugars caramelise, and then canned to wait for… Continue reading Crockpot Apple Butter
