Hello! [Swipe to see pics from previous years] ❄ Hello! [Swipe to see pics from previous years] ❄ Another 👋 to you... and to share... that I don't mind winter? Winter is coming whether we like it or not! ❄ Yep. As a Canadian gal raised in one of the coldest climates anywhere, many Alberta prairie days and nights we froze almost immediately venturing into the outdoors. But we still went. Nothing could beat that fresh feeling outside and warm up afterwards indoors to get those cheeks rosy and heart pumping. ❄ Despite the frigid temps *some* days, you need to know that not everyday is like this; we who live in Canada decide to play in this great white north weather to take advantage of breathtaking beauty no matter the temps. ❄ Now that we live in the Okanagan here in British Columbia, we have access to snowy mountain playgrounds of blue-tinged white powder. One of my favourite activities is snowshoeing in that fluff. I am in awe of this splendor every time. ❄ So, this is why I do not mind winter. It's fresh, sparkly, and magical. ❄ What activities do you do in the winter? Maybe it's skating, skiing, hiking? Apres, what do you sip or munch on? Hot cider? Pretzels with hot mustard? ❄ No matter what embrace this season that only comes once a year. Tons of healthy days to be enjoyed while in the great outdoors. ❄ I do 💗 ❄ ❄ ❄ ❄ ❄ #thisisme #helloworld #ilovewinter #ilovewinter❄️ #snowshoeing #playgrounds #healthy #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #getoutside #winteriscoming #enjoylife #outdoors #vernonbc #okanaganlife

THAI-INSPIRED SPICY CURRY COCONUT RICE KURI SQUASH THAI-INSPIRED SPICY CURRY COCONUT RICE KURI SQUASH SOUP . [two pics, swipe] . The Story . At the beginning of October I went to a (pumpkin) squash patch to get assorted squashes that included a large Red Kuri. The aforementioned squash is a beautiful one not only because of its red skin but deep orange flesh. The taste? There's a hint of sweet meeting nuttiness. Quite the tasty one. First time I've eaten and it won't be the last! . The beauty gave up a lot, quantity wise. My sheet pan was filled. Of course I also saved the seeds to roast. Some of them on top the soup. . I was also given #sponsored this delicious Thai rice blend from @floatingleaffoods, a Canadian family-run company. The soup cradles a generous portion to mix in (instead of adding directly to the soup batch itself). . Earthy, nutty, sweet-ish warm hug in a bowl. Perfect for this season and into the winter months ahead. . Lip-smacking goodness in every mouthful! . Loose recipe: *1 large Red Kuri or butternut squash, seeded, cut in 1 inch slices or pieces *EVOO to coat *your choice of sea salt *Green curry paste, to taste *2 to 3 cups vegetable broth *galangal powder, generous spinkle *lemongrass powder, generous spinkle *addition spices, like more sea salt, etc. to taste *aromatics like onion and garlic, to taste, optional (add to sheet pan to roast) *coconut milk . Roast the squash previously tossed with EVOO & sea salt in oven at 400F under fork tender. Cool slightly. . Do not peel the Red Kuri (edible!) but scoop out flesh from butternut (or peel off first before roasting). . Add the rest of the ingredients together and simmer for about 15 minutes. . Meanwhile cook rice using package directions. Set aside when done and keep warm. . Blend all together except rice in pot with immersion blender or take out to blend in blender. . Stir in coconut milk and heat up. Serve immediately and top with hot rice and seeds. . Enjoy! . . . . . . . . . . . #meatlessmonday #plantbased #vegandiet #veganeating #vegetariandiet #wholefoods #dairyfree #nutfree #glutenfree #glutenfreeeating #happymonday #hotsoup #canadianfood #vegetables #soupday #vernonbc #globaleats #okanaganeats #foodiesinternationalchat

ROASTED SMOKED SALMON & SPICY LEMON THYME PAPRIKA ROASTED SMOKED SALMON & SPICY LEMON THYME PAPRIKA CAULIFLOWER . [swipe to see more] . The Story . I opened a package of raw smoked salmon a few days ago that needed to be used up. The cauliflower started to look a little sad too so thought, why not roast both at the same time? . Sure, we usually consume the salmon fresh but adding it with the cauliflower along with evoo, Chipotle evoo, lemon juice, lemon thyme, smoked paprika, black pepper gave it some spunk and elevated the taste together. . It did not disappoint! . And, it's nutritious, easy, affordable, tasty. A #NEATrecipe! . We had snow yesterday so just in the nic of time, I managed to harvest fresh lemon thyme from a garden bed before it was buried. . Yay. . The basic recipe I used, adjust accordingly: *cauliflower, in pieces *pkg smoked salmon *EVOO & Chipotle EVOO, to taste *smoked paprika, to taste *squeeze of 1/2 lemon *salt *pepper *(my garden) fresh thyme, leaves pulled with some stems intact . Toss all together and spread on lined sheet pan. Place in 375 to 400F and roast for approx 20 to 30 minutes, mixing midway. Watch that it doesn't burn. Turn heat down or up to adjust and length of time roasting. . 😋 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #mealideas #easyeating #bowleating #nutritious #healthyeating #jerf #wholefoods #wholesome #glutenfree #glutenfreeeating #dairyfree #nutfree #urfoodstory #canadian #canadianfoodie #globaleats #vernonbc #foodiesinternationalchat #fishfriday #fishlover

TURKEY WALNUT FETA APPLE SALAD BOWL . [Swipe for p TURKEY WALNUT FETA APPLE SALAD BOWL . [Swipe for pics and video] . The Story . I thawed some leftover Thanksgiving turkey to make something else today but when I was outside earlier I saw that I had an abundance of greens, Swiss Chard, parsley and chives left in the garden.

It's been one thing after another, and yet, unlike some of my other boards, this one didn't take as long to assemble and was budget friendly. Hopefully it inspires you to make one for you or with others. Just adjust the quantity and remember, you don't need as much as you may think to get full. . This board satisfied the two of us with some leftovers, especially cheese, jelly, and apple. Speaking of what's on the board, here is the detailed list: *@helmutssausagekitchen wild board liver sausage & ham sausage @davisonorchards *sharp provolone 🧀 and Alberta 🥒 @italiancentreshop *🧀 @swanlakemarketgarden *@bcbrine pickled 🥕 *@thepreservatory jelly from @oliveoilbc *dried local 🍒 #petersupick *dried local plumes @kevinsmunroe *local walnuts (that I soaked then roasted) picked at @helenburger11 *my garden 🌿 and 🍅 *local Ambrosia 🍎 *assorted #glutenfree crackers .

Unbelievable taste!! . CARROT SAUERKRAUT LENTIL RI Unbelievable taste!! . CARROT SAUERKRAUT LENTIL RICE BOWL with CABBAGE STEAKS, MARINATED PORK & PUMPKIN APPLE SAUCE DRESSING . [Swipe for pics and video] . The Story . I was gifted 🇨🇦 @floatingleaffoods Prairie Blend mix of rices, lentils, quinoa and millet. Immediately I thought to include this blend with local cabbage, carrots and meat along with just the right saltiness in sauerkraut. . I used pureed roasted local pumpkin and freshly made apple sauce. So I made a dressing to tie everything together and boy did it turn out well! . Here's what you can do: . Mix 1 cup of Prairie Blend with 2 cups of water, 2 Tbsp dehydrated (my garden) parsley, and 2 tsp each non dairy butter and local garlic scapes salt and put all in an oven safe container with lid. Let the 375F OVEN bake it for approximately 40 minutes (check about half way and stir)! . Slice cabbage into "steaks" rub with EVOO and some salt. Place in oven container uncovered to roast while rice blend is cooking too. . Meanwhile, add 3/4 cup grated carrot, 1 1/2 cups of saurkraut and 2 Tbsp oil to heat up in a pan. Keep warm. . Add extra protein like pork, steak, chicken or plant-based if you like. . Make this dressing: 1/3 cup each pumpkin puree & applesauce, 1 Tbsp each apple cider vinegar, EVOO & maple syrup. Sprinkle of sea salt. Mix well. . Add everything together in a bowl or plate and serve with dressing.

BEST GARDEN MEDITERRANEAN-INSPIRED MEAL SALAD . [D BEST GARDEN MEDITERRANEAN-INSPIRED MEAL SALAD . [Dare you to swipe to get closer and closer into the bowl. Not my fault if you drool! 😂] . And yes, that's "messy" but yummy stuff on the sides of the bowl because I tip it upside down with the lid on to really infuse flavours. . Your next meal perhaps? Bonus, free recipe below but first... . The Story . I just knew I wanted to have a beautiful send off using the absolute last of my garden cucumbers, you know, the ones that came from the patch that produced probably close to 200 or even more English (really a Japanese variety) cukes. I also had one garden Roma tomato left and two Black Krim tomatoes to use up. Besides them, I added garden peppers to join the crowd... and the chives keep on producing so of course they were used for extra flavour! . But what really made this meal salad unique is that I combined the base of two of my favourite salads, Greek and a black bean salad, together. . So here's the loose recipe that I hope I can recreate exactly again: . Ingredients . *3 garden tomatoes, small to medium, chopped *2 garden English or similar variety, chopped *5 garden chives, chopped *1/4 to 1/2 container feta cheese, chopped *2/3 can of black olives *1 large avocado, peeled, chopped *1 cup local precooked scraped corn *(frozen from fresh) pureed garden basil in oil *1 can black beans, drained, rinsed *1/3 cup each red wine vinegar and EVOO *1 each lime and lemon, freshly squeezed *sea salt, to taste . I may have forgotten something but this is what I recall. (Ya, I know, I keep forgetting to write while I am making the recipe!) Put all ingredients together and let marinate for a few hours in the fridge. . And this, my friends, was a lovely way to pay tribute to the end of a wonderful harvest of these precious foods despite a heat dome, heat for days, smoky days and fires. . I'm grateful for this food 🙏 .

The Story . 🍁 CURRY SALMON ZUCCHINI 🥦 🥣 The Story . 🍁 CURRY SALMON ZUCCHINI 🥦 🥣 . I've been digging in deep in my fridge, freezer and pantry to see what I need to use up. Garden produce is priority right now as the last of what I harvested won't stay fresh too much longer like zucchini. Plus I had a bit of local broccoli awaiting use too... and some frozen BC wild salmon looking for attention. Aha, time to create a easy peasy bowl... and tasty it was too since I used @umami_cravethefifth Maple Curry dressing (gifted) to meld everything together. . I spiralized the zucchini to make zoodles and set them aside. To thawed salmon I drizzled on some fresh lemon juice, a spice rub for salmon and a bit of dressing massaged in. Then popped it in the preheated oven to bake. . Meanwhile I cut up the 🥦 and steamed them to tender crisp. . To finish, I piled fresh zoodles, cooked broccoli, salmon pieces in a bowl, added more dressing and sprinkled black sesame seeds on top. . If you don't have this dressing, use your favorite Asian-inspired one of mix sesame oil, soy sauce alternative, riced vinegar together. . It took me from start to finish under 30 minutes to prepare, cook and serve Yum! . End of nutritious easy (somewhat) affordable and tasty story. #NEATrecipe. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #supportlocal #eatlocal #bowleating #bowlsofgoodness #wholefoods #brainfood #healthyeating #nutritious #easytomake #tastymeal #jerf #wholesome #globaleats #urfoodstory #canadianfood #canadianfoodie #myfoodstory #ourmealsonthetable
The Story . [See video of board's bites and dip in The Story . [See video of board's bites and dip in stories] . Drawers of garden produce are still filled to the brim but it's the summer squash, peppers and cucumbers eyeing my every move when the fridge door opens. . "Pick me! Not going to last much longer!!" . So I dutifully reach for the next few cousins of the cousins who gave their all through heat, fire and smoke. . Their board companions include my garden 🥕s and local: herbed cheese, savoury sausage, dried beef teriyaki, crispy broccoli, crunchy cauliflower, dehydrated orchard apple slices and more. Plus dreamy creamy mini bocconcini adds a cute prop up of flavour and texture to their sausage pals: APPLE BOCCONCINI SAUSAGE BITES. And let's not forget how they also hold onto the veggie bundle bites (see post from a few days ago). See, friends stick together! 😄 . And move over summer squash, it's winter squash show time with centre stage featuring CREAMY TAHINI FETA SQUASH DIP to bathe all the garden goodies in. You know, they all deserve a relaxing (and delicious) happy ending. .

It's World Food Day. . I reflect on what this mean It's World Food Day. . I reflect on what this means to me and I cannot help but feel enormous gratitude firstly for the local farmers and producers who feed us here in our region, and the bounty of food harvested from my little garden in our own yard. Truly thankful for it all. . [Swipe to see pics] . But most of all, let's look to ways to support those who feed us and how to share this food produced with others not able to normally get it. Our region -- and country and world -- have populations who need help. Sharing what we have through food bank, food box, and food security programs are some ways to connect with our community, be the community, to provide food for them. . If you need any more information about programs or projects in the North Okanagan in particular, please reach out to me and I'd be happy to assist. . We are in this together; we eat every day. How can we nourish one another? .
