I was recently at the cabin – traveling alone – and I took the opportunity to cook a little steak for myself over an open fire. It turned out to be quite perfect.

Air Fryer Prime Rib Eye Steak
As I said a month ago, I now have an air fryer in the kitchen and I have really grown to love it. I love it so much that I used it to “air fryer” a prime rib eye steak! Admittedly, the air fryer does not do everything well. I tried making homemade onion rings […]
Farm Town Meats; Steak for Dinner
I have been crazy busy this week with work and making plans to head off to Whistler for the Beer Festival so I haven’t had a chance to sit down and tickle the keyboard. I have to admit, I have also been out with my kids riding our bicycles -soaking up the last few days […]
The Soft Opening of Pepper Lunch Canada
I saw a note on Instagram about a new location of the Pepper Lunch restaurant having a “soft opening” event on Saturday and knowing that I was going to be dropping my family off at YVR that morning, I added a comment to say that I would attend the soft opening. When I walked in, […]
Lunch; Steak and Potatoes
Good old lunch of steak and potatoes with a little sautéed broccolini to make it even more healthy. The potatoes are fingerlings. Steamed. Best eaten dipped in a creamy dip. The broccolini is cooked by adding it to a large pan that is already hot. Let it cook until it gets dark green and then […]
Cabin-Cooking; Bone-in Prime Rib Steak
On the long weekend just passed, I decided to head out of town to the cabin. As well as making bread at the cabin, I also needed something substantial for my dinner so of course I visited Meat Craft, my local butcher in Port Moody. Greg the Butcher set me up with a beauty of […]
Cabin Cooking; the Porterhouse Steak
I snuck out of town to my cabin again, this time to measure the cabin roof and prep it for a replacement. And of course a trip to the cabin means I’m going to cook meat. As usual, I headed down to see my local butcher – Greg the Butcher at Meatcraft Urban Butchery in […]
Meat Craft Urban Butchery Grand Opening Event
I have written a couple blog posts now about the Meat Craft Urban Butchery located in Port Moody. And, although they have been open for business for a couple of weeks now, they are going to have a grand opening celebration on Sunday November 22nd between noon and 4 PM. At their grand opening event Meat Craft will […]
Argo Cafe At Night
Typically you would think that an accountant would know better than to open a restaurant. But when an accountant grows up in a home with parents who are very accomplished chefs, it sort of becomes a foregone conclusion that they will all end up in the kitchen of the family restaurant. That is sort of […]
Cooking a Strip Loin Steak
Yesterday in my blog post about the Gammon bacon I mentioned the other piece of meat that I took along on my weekend trip to my cabin – the boneless strip loin steak from Meat Craft Urban Butchery. The strip loin was just over 13 ounces and honestly, it was enough to easily feed two […]
I used my @houseofknives gift card to purchase the @hydroflask.ca cutlery set and two @scanpan_official non-stick frying pans.
There’s nothing worse when camping than having a pan that food sticks to. So I took a gamble based on the advice of the staff @coquitlamcentre House of Knives location and bought these new pans.
Then while on the #5dadsgowild trip I tested them out. I’ve got to admit, the results were impressive.

RYU is more than soft and durable athletic wear so while I was out on the #5dadsgowild trip I took the opportunity to spend time just being in nature. The natural world can be very calming if you take the time to “stop and smell the roses”.
Thank you @ryu_apparel for supporting our group of dads as we spent time telling stories, listening, and learning from one another.

Very good Montreal smoked meat sandwich @labaguettecatering for lunch today in Revelstoke as we travel to the #5dadsgowild retreat.
Toasted rye bread with mustard and a slice of dill pickle held all the meat in place. Wonderful.

Thank you @kekulicafebannock in Merritt for our morning refuel. I had the baked venison bannock and it was a flavour hit. Fry bread with a little venison and cheese for protein? Oh yes.
Now we’re headed back on the road for Salmon Arm - where to eat in Salmon Arm?

I visited the Coquitlam Centre Mall location of @houseofknives to prepare for this year’s #5DadsGoWild retreat.
What do you think I brought home from the store?

The kids and I tried a couple more of @jamieoliver mid-week quick meals last night.
We did an adjustment on the one pan meal gnocchi recipe because we didn’t have any gnocchi in the house but we did have cheese tortellini. So we subbed in the tortellini. It worked.
The other dish we tried was Jamie Oliver’s peas, beans, chilli, and mint. Again, we didn’t have beans and we did have lots of asparagus so - sub asparagus for beans!
Both kids enjoyed the process of preparing the food and they ate it. One even asked to set aside some of the leftovers for their lunch!
I’m calling this a mid-week meal success thanks in part to the inspiration we get from Jamie Oliver’s one pan meals and 5 Ingredients approach.

I tried the @jamieoliver #onepanmeal of gnocchi in tomato sauce with asparagus and spinach “pesto”.
It worked! A quick and easy one pan meal. The spinach pesto was more garlicky than I liked (my doing) but it definitely added a flavour punch to the dish.
I appreciate Jamie Oliver’s work at making tasty and nutritious food so accessible and easy to make.

Weekend away with one of the kids and we tried out some of @jamieoliver recipes.
First up was our take on the Epic Ribeye on white beans. It turned out a very nicely steak done to medium rare. Success.
Next up was our interpretation of Teriyaki Aubergines - eggplant. We added in sliced red and yellow bell peppers and it was very yummy!
Overall, a successful weekend of cooking at the cabin inspired by @jamieoliver who makes good food so accessible!
