So the recipe is pretty much in the title but let me tell you about this anyway. It all started with a trip to Costco. Actually it didn’t, it all started when I accidentally found myself in the middle of a store that sold only olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I remember passing it
Winner, winner, chicken dinner and if this is wrong I don’t want to be right were my two other obvious choices for this particular recipe. Kudos first of all to my friend Julie who introduced this to my family a few months back. I was out of town for an extended period caring for an
I was really fortunate recently to have been given the opportunity to try some products from Alligga’s line of oils and roasted seeds. In return they’ve asked for an honest review to be shared on Socialnature.com, and here we are. Full disclosure, I like trying new things and I like different foods. Except haggis, that’s
In the interest of being transparent and real, brace yourselves: most of the time I’m making this up as I go along. For example, tonight we are having a potluck dinner themed “food from a book or movie”. I picked spaghetti and meatballs from Lady and The Tramp thinking that would be a super easy
Unplanned moments typically turn into the best adventures.

This was an unexpected delight for dinner, at least for me, I loved it. Butternut squash ravioli has been the big thing it seems of late, and I wanted to capture some of that flavour without the fuss of making ravioli since I’ve done that exactly zero times in my life. I’m always looking
September is almost over, how did that happen? I’m am trying so very hard to keep the pace of life chill this fall. There has been a sermon series running all month which reminded me of things I already knew but called me out on complacency. Slow down, be present where you are, and rest.
So, you won’t believe this one. I certainly didn’t. This is the best time of year to go grocery shopping, everything is fresh from the local farms. Deep leafy greens, sweet corn, green beans, new potatoes, even zucchini. All of it, and much of it selling for in season prices which roughly translates to our
I have a complicated relationship with fish. I want to like it, I really, really want to love it. I want to serve non battered and deep fried fish to my family twice a week just like all of the healthy food guides recommend. I want the benefit of all of those healthy oils in
