I picked up a new kitchen gadget – a Veggetti. This is a budget priced kitchen gadget used to cut vegetables like zucchinis, carrots or potatoes into “noodles” for low carb spaghetti, salads or hashbrown potatoes. Have a look –

Kale Quiche Pie
Seeing as our kale and Swiss chard are still producing like wild things and I have not yet reconciled myself to drinking “kale” smoothies or eating roasted kale chips, we are always on the look out for recipes that we can incorporate kale or chard into. I think this crustless quiche is the perfect way […]

I told the kids they can gave whatever they want for dinner.

Air fryer Oreos are like a trip down memory lane to when I was eating beignets in New Orleans.

Cabin cooking this weekend. Slices of brisket off the @traegergrills sitting on a bed of caramelized onions.
Sides of oven roasted fennel bulb and broccoli. My favourite way to eat - slow cooked food in the @fieldcompany cast iron pan.

Traveled the Fraser Canyon as a passenger this weekend so I was able to enjoy a flight of beers @mtnviewbrewing in Hope! Usually I’m the driver so this was a welcome change.
Along with my flight of beers I had the roasted chicken and kale wrap. Can you say “massive wrap”? Wow. What a feast. And it is loaded with kale so it was a healthy feast.

Went for a little walk and ended up @doughnutlove.ca Oops. Still got some exercise, right?
And the Easter bunny was here and left a few eggs on an old fashioned doughnut for me!
Add in my once a week treat of an oat milk latte and I’m a happy man.

Received my new @gothamwatches in the mail. I’m loving it. My kid asked if the accompanying monocle is coming in a separate package. Kids!
Feels cool to have this new watch in my pocket. Substantial feel to the watch without it being too heavy.

Sign at the pool says “no outside shoes beyond this point”.
95% of people at the pool this morning read it as saying “Look furtively around and then proceed on tiptoe in your boots as your boots drop clumps of mud on the pool deck where little children are walking barefoot.”
