Meal Planning Monday

DSC_0091

I'm looking forward to dinner this week.  I've planned five nights of simple soups and seasonal meals and I'm excited to eat, and cook, them all.

We're into the last four weeks of summer vacation and trying to revel in each and every day we have.  In addition to our meals, we're also hoping to make a few batches of ice cream, rather gelato, this week as Ben has decided that ice cream makes him feel sick to his stomach, but milkshakes and gelato are okay.  I will truly miss the quirky habits of both my kids when they grow of out of them, and for now I'm happy to make "gelato" if that's what makes everyone (Ben) happy. I love kids.

We're also planning picnics in the park for lunch, a few batches of frozen banana bites, a trip to an amusement park and possibly even a day at the beach. And if I can sneak in a trip to an antique store or market at some point, I will end the week as a very happy mama.

 

Monday:: Corn and Cheddar Chowder (again!)

Tuesday:: Taco salad

Wednesday:: Chimichurri chicken and black bean salad

Thursday:: White bean and summer vegetable soup, corn bread muffins

Friday:: Lobster rolls and grilled corn

Fried Shrimp on Focaccia Buns As much as we loved being in New York the week before last, we didn't enjoy trying to find places to eat. Places that would accommodate two boys who needed space to perform simple magic tricks with their purchases from FAO Schwartz, space for stroller storing and high chair eating, and space to change the baby somewhere other than the washroom floor. Trust me, it was much harder than you might think. And call us crazy, but air conditioning was an essential requirement as well, given that we were touring the city by foot in the middle of a record-setting heat wave, and it might surprise you to know that that was also not the easiest to find. One afternoon, after searching the streets for about an hour we stumbled upon a little pub and it was fabulous. The decor was lovely, the music was great, they smiled when they...

From Absinthe to Zest ( A Giveaway) These days it seems that everywhere I look, I'm spotting copies of the gorgeously designed Great Food series of books, which have recently been re-released by Penguin. I've been to my local Chapters, independent book store and home goods store in the past week and I've seen these lovely things on display at each location. Combining three of my favourite things, food, history and brilliant design, these little tomes are a collection of some of the best food writing from the past 400 years. Seeing that I kept spotting them wherever I went, I took it as a sign that I need to grab a few copies for myself. Guess what? They're utterly delicious. In fact, I love these books so much, I'm even considering placing them in a memory-box style frame and hanging them on a wall. They are that pretty. Naturally, I would like to give two of...
