Sometimes I do this thing where I decide I need a break from sandwiches for lunch. I try to pack other things; stir fries, fried rice, I recently even made fried millet and packed it for lunch. Like, woah. And, grain salads. Grain salads pack well, they have good chew power, and are more often [...]

spicy squash and lentil salad

Okay. I’m back home in Stockholm now, again feeling like I’m catching my breath after a crazy whirlwind week in Vancouver. It was a great, busy, beautiful, sad, and happy week, and I’m so glad I went, but that’s all for another post. I arrived home to Stockholm on Wednesday evening feeling both very at [...]

I have to apologize, folks, I’m a little behind schedule here. The thing is, I’ve been blitzing all over the world. Last week I accompanied Paul on a business trip to Brussels, and then we hopped over to Budapest for a weekend getaway. Now I’m writing from Vancouver, where I’ve dropped in for a one [...]
egg quesadilla

This is a quickie. A quick post about a quick meal. This egg quesadilla is something that I make very often. I make it for a quick lunch. I make it for an easy dinner alongside a simple salad. I make it for a late morning weekend breakfast when I’m feeling the need for something [...]
pea soup with smoked porter

Some time ago ago I picked up a cold beer in a frosty mug on my kitchen counter and took a big gulp and immediately thought, oh man, this isn’t my beer. Except it was. Only Paul had accidentally bought a smoked beer instead of the pale ale I normally buy. My next thought, mere [...]

I grew up in a part of the world that doesn’t really get real winters. Don’t get me wrong, Vancouver winters are nasty in that can’t-get-warm-cause-you’re-always-soaking-wet kind of way, and I do not miss the rain even a little bit, but relatively speaking, they’re mild. Now I live in a part of the world that [...]
home made bagels

Let’s make some bagels, can we? Yes we can! For starters, today is my birthday, and on my birthday we can do anything we want. We can eat cake for breakfast and bagels for lunch and because it’s my birthday the calories don’t count. Please remember that I have an actual degree in nutrition, so [...]

You know you’re living way up north when at the tail end of November the sun starts setting in the 2′s. You know you’re a food blogger living way up north when, after a stretch of grey and dreary days, sunlight suddenly floods your kitchen and you drop everything to take pictures of soup. The [...]

Remember back in May when I finally finished that nutrition degree I’d been working on for the better part of a decade? And then the very next day I hopped on an airplane and came to Sweden? That was quite something. I’ve applied for some nutrition related jobs since I’ve been back in Stockholm, and [...]

I conducted a bit of a Friday-night-in-the-kitchen-with-a-bottle-of-wine kind of interview with my husband before I wrote this post, and I’ll say, it never ceases to amaze me (in a good way) how much I still don’t know about that man. I’ve known Paul for a little over eight years now, and he’s been eating the [...]
