Back to Cooking

The last month has been so random with both my schedule and Chris' that I haven't been doing a lot of prep work on the weekends for our weekday meals. We have been buying the minimum on the weekend to get by because there just happened to be only two nights that we would be eating together. The dinners we did have at home together we had quick 'big salad' nights with tons of veggies, and a can of tuna or beans for some protein or a quick veggie stirfry on quinoa. Things that took minimum thinking and time.

Last week I was reminded what it was like to cook for one .... I was so tired one night I just sauteed some zucchini and a tomato, threw in some sundried tomatoes in oil, and leftover brown rice pasta and then cracked in 2 eggs. So random but tasty and it only took me 10 minutes total.

Its also been super busy with Delicious Detox attending health fairs and book signings, including one last weekend at The Apple Market in Mississauga and yesterday at Maya Health in Woodstock. The drive in SW Ontario yesterday and to Uxbridge on Friday also inspired my activities for today....

Today was a beautiful September morning so Chris and I went for a walk through High Park and then had breakfast on Bloor before walking through the Ukrainian festival booths and then home. All the fruit and veggie stands and perogies (even though Ukrainian, not Polish) inspired me to cook this afternoon. So I made parsley pesto, hummus, roasted beets, and a curried lentil stew for the week. It felt good to have a full fridge again!
