Tuesday September 8

Back to school, or as many call it The Start of Cold and Flu season is upon us. My own kids were out and off today with nary a hiccup. I hope you all had similarly easy mornings coaxing your sleepy kids from their beds.

It’s not a time for New Year’s resolutions, but it does feel like every September brings with it the need to get “back on track”. For me, that usually means dialing in my diet again, and embracing the simple routines that make our lives easier.

One new thing I’ll be doing weekly is this blog. I’m playing around with the format a bit, but each week you’re going to get some thoughts from me and also my weekly meal plan. These come from my clients I cook for, and could be coming to you if you so desire (LINK). I’ll try to link to a few recipes and provide some guidance. Plus there will be jokes.

Have a great week!

Elotes (Grilled Mexican Street Corn)

  • Serve chilled with extra cilantro and a shot of your desired hot sauce
  • Add pulled pork on top if desired

Pulled Pork with BBQ Sauce

  • Serve on it’s own, in a burrito/taco or on a bun
  • Freezes well; re-heat over low heat on stove or in microwave

Grilled Nectarine Salad with Toasted Walnuts and gorgonzola

  • Serve from fridge with walnuts on top and some of the crumbled cheese
  • If not a fan of blue cheese this would be good with some parmesan flakes

Chicken Korma

  • Warm naan bread in oven or in a skillet with some oil
  • Make a wrap with the meat and add cashews, cilantro, and your favourite hot sauce (They’re Messy!)
