Oh my god so much sweet potato!!

september 22nd, 2013 – vegetarian chilli

september 23rd, 2013 – blue cheese yam fries and grilled steak

september 24th, 2013 – slowcooker pot roast with barley, and roasted sweet potato

This was from a Canadian Living recipe. It didn’t turn out as nice as I hoped. The beef wasn’t very moist, which is weird because usually everything comes out super tender from the slowcooker! :(

More in here…Continue reading

Scott made these sweet cupcake burgers for his work bake sale. Everyone loved them and they were the first things to sell out! That’s a brownie “beef patty” in between vanilla cupcake “buns” with icing “lettuce” and “ketchup”, with heart sprinkles cut in half “sesame seeds”!


I made M&M cookies for me and Reese’s Pieces cookies for Scott. They turned out tasty but SO flat. Then I realized that our baking powder expired in 2011. That MIGHT have something do with it, haha!

This Crepes of Wrath focaccia turned out awesome. I really enjoyed my cheese sandwich for breakfast this morning! Making bread is kinda cool but I certainly miss my mom’s KitchenAid mixer with dough hook for sure. Especially for this one because the dough was suuuuuper sticky!

Back again with another daily dinners post. There’s a few restaurant meals in the mix but I didn’t talk about them much because I think I’ll make separate review posts later.

september 8th, 2013 – pesto pasta with sausage and peppers

september 9th, 2013 – pulled pork sandwich with green beans

september 10th, 2013 – alaska roll and spicy tuna roll from Sushi Garden

We picked up sushi before going to a movie… accidentally carried it sideways in Scott’s bag. Oops!! SUSHI SCRAMBLE! Still tasted delicious though. I think Sushi Garden is my new favourite cheapo sushi restaurant.

I like the pancake but Scott didn’t, and Scott liked the cauliflower but I didn’t. Ha.

september 21st, 2013 – chicken, crepe, steamed buns, lobster, cheesecake from Richmond Night Market

For once I actually feel like I ate enough vegetables to not worry that people will think I don’t eat enough vegetables. Ha. By the way I eat bananas, strawberries, carrots at work almost every day. Anyway this is a pretty good collection of food this time!

We’ve been buying a head of lettuce and a head of spinach and washing and cutting it up right away. It keeps well in the fridge and that plus a few more vegetables and some grilled protein makes a very nutritious and quick dinner. I’ve really been enjoying our salad dinners out on the patio the past couple weeks.

july 14th, 2013 – prawns with citrus risotto at Dark Table

Har har har. Still funny. If you missed it, you can read about our dinner at Dark Table here.

july 16th, 2013 – steak salad

Rare enough for you?? I accidentally spent $15 on steak that day. Oops steaks are way heavier than I expected. We ate well that night, that’s for sure!!

More pictures after the jump.Continue reading
