A bright yellow chip truck sits on Bank Street in Ottawa, selling fries, hot dogs, and awesome poutine. It’s M & G’s Chip Wagon and a grumpy man with a moustache stands inside the truck and ignores me for a few moments before he acknowledges my presence by looking in my direction. “One medium poutine, [...]

Green Chile and Corn Frittata
September 2, 2009
On Sunday, I “borrowed” (see also: appropriate for an undisclosed length) a Weight Watchers cookbook from my mother. I love that it has tons of pictures and the recipes are very easy to follow. As I’ve mentioned before, diet food isn’t necessarily bland or tasteless. I give today’s lunch of Green Chile and Corn Fritatta [...]

I love the simple things in life. Hormone-free farmers market back bacon, organic arugula, home made bread, tomato, cheese, mayo, Dijon mustard. Lunch.

Stormy Green Pasta
June 25, 2009
It’s been a bit of a crazy day today in terms of weather. It was almost unbearably hot and sunny this morning and by 10AM I was nearly soaked in sweat and praying for 11 o’clock to roll around so I could go for a dip in the pool. At 10:45 I decided to change [...]
Tuna Cheese Melt
June 18, 2009
It’s a gloomy, rainy day today, perfect for lounging in pjs and eating comforting comfort food. It was lunch time and I didn’t feel like making a full meal for myself. I was feeling a bit lazy and I ALMOST caved in to a salty, carb-filled packet of instant noodles. But I managed to contain [...]
