Winter Weekend

          Sugar-castle-300

We're under snowy skies here in Toronto and I couldn't be happier.  We have a fun day of sledding planned for this coming Sunday after which,  we will hopefully be watching Canada fight for the gold medal in men's hockey.  The rest of our time will be spent working on a gingerbread castle for Ben's grade 4 medieval project.  While it won't look quite like the one pictured above (isn't it gorgeous), it will certainly be fun to put together.

I'm also thinking  it's perfect weather to make something like this soup.  Soup, grilled cheese, a fire, wine, sledding, hot chocolate and homemade marshmallows.  Isn't this what winter was made for?

Maple Oatmeal Bread When I was a young child my mother decided we should test out vegetarianism. We abandoned the meat eating, Sunday roast dinners of my parents youth and embark on a journey of meat-free living. I was almost too young to remember much of this time in my life and I don't recall if my sister had been born or not and I can't quite remember where we lived or if my mother worked, but I do remember the food and the special outings that came with this new lifestyle we adopted. We would travel to a specialty health food store in the downtown core of my hometown to purchase some items which aided our new way of eating. This store, with its rustic hardwood floors and dim lighting, offered bins upon bins of natural goodness. Dried beans, herbs and spices, grains, lentils and natural peanut butter. Not the confectioner-sugar ladden...

Meal Planning Monday Lots of homework due for the boys this week, a few hockey games for Ben and school work and new assignments for Mom. We're also hoping to get on our school ice rink a few more times this week before it closes for the season. This means we're keeping things on the food front rather simple. What are you eating this week? Monday - Tuscan bean and barley soup with garlic toasts Tuesday - Stuffed chicken breast, herbed orzo and French green beans Wednesday - Ricotta gnocchi with tomato sauce Thursday - Potato leek soup and cheesy tuna melts Friday - Meatloaf and roasted vegetables
