Week 18

    Happy Friday everyone!   This week's lunch is pretty basic, nothing too fancy. I've been geeking out over summer fruit, and Mr. Nomato's lunches are proof of that. It's healthy sugar right? Full of fibre? YES. Snack Sliced celery with peanut butter for dippin'. Lunch Raspberry and Feta Cheese Summer Salad (minus the… Read More

Raspberry and Feta Cheese Summer Salad

I’ve really been digging fruit-based salads this summer. I’m not normally a ‘salad person’ as much as I try to be, but the fruit we’ve been getting has been absolutely spectacular. Case in point: Strawberry Spinach Salad. These raspberries HAD to be the star in something! And the cheese… well, the cheese had to have a… Read More

Week 17

Congratulations everyone! We made it to Friday! This week has been crazy. We had a friend come and visit and did SO many touristy things, I need a little break. This city is completely incredible and we have fallen completely in love with it. Sadly, Mr. Nomato doesn't get to appreciate it as much as I… Read More

Blueberry Banana Smoothie Bowl

***Since posting this recipe, it has come to my attention that blueberries contain solanine, which is one of the glykoalkaloids responsible for nightshade allergies. If you are on a nightshade free diet, please proceed with caution unless you are certain that blueberries are okay for you! You can find more information here.***   Mornings are hard. There’s no… Read More

I'm not a fan :( Here's your Lunch of the Week! Snack:  Celery with peanut butter for dippin'. Lunch: Salad! Easy Lemon Garlic Marinated… Read More

Cobb(ish) Salad

I have a confession to make. I. HATE. Leftovers. With the burning passion of one thousand flaming suns. Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration. Some things get better the day after, like beef stew, or chili, you know, something where the flavours get even more time to marinate and mingle. Everything else though? Not… Read More

Easy Lemon Garlic Chicken Marinade

Since arriving in New York I’ve had to think about food and groceries differently. Instead of just ‘what do I need?’ and ‘how much will it cost?’, a third variable enters the equation: ‘how much can I carry?’ It’s been easy to just drive my car to the store, load up the back with whatever… Read More

Week 15

  Aaaaand we're back! We're finally moved in and settled in fancy New York City and Mr. Nomato has resumed his school, so lunches are back! You'll also notice that there was a bonus weekly recipe yesterday, Tidepool Jello Cups. This is because I have way too many recipes waiting in the wings to share… Read More

Strawberry Spinach Salad

Best part about nomad life? The second strawberry season is here!!! BEST. YEAR. EVER. Our first strawberry season in Louisiana was wonderful, but can I say there ain’t no strawberries like home strawberries? (‘cause the strawberry party don’t stop.) Nova Scotia strawberry season is upon us. And I seriously can’t stop eating them. I may… Read More

Nightshade Free Backyard Burgers

Everyone knows, the staples of a barbecue are BURGERS. They’re always there, reliable, dependable, a simple ground meat patty slapped inside a delicious bun. Of course, most burgers are also usually slathered in nightshades, dripping in tomato-based barbecue sauce or topped with pools of ketchup and mustard (I see you paprika, you can run but you… Read More
