Fresh eating

I feel like have I spent the majority of the last five days eating bread. We certainly are a bread culture here in North America, with our toast for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and dinner rolls for, well of course dinner. In a normal week I don’t tend to eat that much wheat, so after my last five days of bread binging I decided it was time for a bit of a break. So, gone are the flours, the wheat, dairy, sugar and all processed foods. Well for a couple weeks at least.

Eating with a specific list of no this, that or the other thing can often be a bit of a challenge. One trip to the grocery store will confirm that most of us have become so accustomed to eating pre-packaged, processed food, that cutting it out totally is no small feat. A couple of days ago while I was at the store I noticed that the girl in line in front of me had only pre-packaged foods in her cart, saved the raw pork belly. Yes I know, coming up with recipes and dinner ideas on the fly can be difficult and sometimes it is just easier to buy something. To help make dinner time a little easier over the next few weeks, I am returning to another treasured North American food mentality. Protien, starch and a veggie. I found that for myself, thinking of a meal in this way has made coming up with a meal plan a lot more manageable.

Anyway, when I was planning this particular dinner, I was thinking of a dinner that Ginger and I made together a very long time ago when I had gone to visit her for a few weeks one summer. We had made some sort of a red dipping sauce and chicken skewers. That is about all I can currently remember, but for some reason romesco sauce kept jumping into my mind. Now aside from the one time that Ginger and I may or may not have made romesco sauce, I don’t have any experience with making the sauce, or even what is traditionally included in the recipe. Some recipes seem to consist of just roasted tomatoes, others of tomatoes and roasted peppers and the variations went on. This version might be more closely related to mild muhummara than romesco but the result is a yummy, flavourful dish that will insure that you aren’t dissappointed to have left your bread and processed food behind. You can pair this sauce with a simple chicken skewer like I did here or use it as a dip for your veggies and crackers, or in my case rice cakes.

Cook the cover or die

P1060513-2

Have you ever had someone tell you that they would basically disown you if you didn’t cook something for them? Yeah, that happened to me. The whole ordeal started about a week and a half ago at the grocery store when my partner in crime noticed the April cover of Bon Appétit. He is either fairly observant, or maybe just an eavesdropper, but he certainly is a tricker and some how knew how to play me to get just want he wanted. After examining the cover he said to me “Hey, weren’t you and Ginger going to try to cook the cover of Bon Appétit again soon?” You can guess what happened next. I absent-mindedly confirmed his suspicion and the next thing I knew the magazine was in our grocery bags and I had committed to spending my Sunday making Fried Chicken Sandwiches with Slaw and Spicy Mayo.

Long story short. I cooked the cover and it was delicious!

No food left behind

After reading an article on the blog Design Observer a few weeks back about the amount of food that is wasted in America, I decided to create a little challenge for myself. Too often I head down to the grocery store and pick up a few things for dinner and only end up using a quarter of the bunch of mint, 2 out of the three leeks and half of the lettuce and by the time I finally come up with a dinner plan that uses the left overs, some or all of the ingredients that remain have gone to waste. To make matters worse, I find that there are always a few items that are just a little more difficult to fully use up while they are still fresh. In my fridge you will often find a odd half of a lemon or lime, an expired half full sour cream, yogurt with a few tablespoons left in it the bottom, nearly finished cheese blocks and a few other such items that some how always seem to get left behind. I even have one of those smaller european fridges, I can only imagine what would happen if I were in charge of a full sized fridge.

So with the wasteful side of me in mind, I decided to create a challenge for myself: buy a whole chicken and really use it to its full potential. And no eating the same chicken dish over and over all week long. This challenge was about creativity and each dish needed to be significantly different. I’m actually pretty impressed with the results. Not only did I do a good job of using the whole chicken but we also ate pretty diverse meals every evening. All and all I think the challenge was a success. Here is what I did with one Chicken and a few other things:
