There's nothing that truly propels me toward the 'real food' movement than finding things in my fridge that should be spoiled, but are still perfectly preserved. As I was culling the beasts that have taken over the recesses of the refrigerator, I noted a single flour tortilla in a package whose expiry date indicated 'August 7th'.

It's been too long since my last post, but like many of you, I've been busy! As a wife and mom who also works full time, life is a constant battle for balance. It can be so tempting to rely on convenience and ease, pulling out frozen prepared meals or dinner in a box to make life a little simpler. Although it appears that 'convenience foods' save us time, I've learned that this isn't Flunkiejunkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00093853745135036183noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478996357232871424.post-64881158691225912742010-10-09T17:23:00.000-03:002010-10-09T17:23:47.841-03:00Lower GI Pumpkin Muffins
I love fall in eastern Canada. It is my favourite season filled with brisk cool air, bountiful crops, and a plethora of bright leaves displaying their finest across the forest. I remember hearing from one of my readers (Denise, I'm looking at you!) who expressed envy at countries who get to experience the turning of seasons.

All this thinking is making me hungry...
I started my blogging journey in December 2009. I had an idea, a laptop, and an itchy finger. I knew I wanted to share some of the crazy thoughts that stew in my brain, but what exactly? Then, my stomach rumbled and I knew.

I'm preparing for Project Food Blog, a contest sponsored by Foodbuzz, the site featured in the ads.

In case you are not hip to the internet nerd scene, FTW stands for 'for the win'! I use this term to share with you the final project from my misadventures in cake decoration - all done with buttercream, actually made with butter. Since I had so much success with leaves, I really went with this theme, and I must say, am happy with the end result.

Let me just say this -- I wasn't expecting to become Buddy Valastro, or one of those cute DC Cupcakes gals. I was hoping not to be the recipient of pity stares and the 'look' that says, 'oh, I'm glad that's not me!' But, on class number two of my 'Basics of Cake Decoration' course, this happened:

These experiments have one common hypothesis - to taste good while remaining in the low glycemic index category. So far, the experiments have been fairly easy for me, as a lot of the foods I enjoy eating are naturally low in starches and sugars.

I am fairly certain that the state of Maine in the U.S. also participates in this fast food curiosity, which is basically a lobster roll. And yes -- you buy the McLobster from McDonald's.

That's how Colonel Sanders described his experience with Canadian cuisine back in 1957 to CBC reporter Joe Taylor.

Rather than go on with excuses, I feel this is a great opportunity to talk about the benefits of being a slacker when balancing a busy lifestyle with the desire to eat well. Here's a few ways I have managed to redefine 'fast food' during the weekly rush:

Everyone has been buzzing for weeks about the next big thing from Apple, which in case you have not heard, is the iPad. First off, let's get the obvious out of the way; the name is ridiculous. I'm sure there was a lot of self-congratulatory back patting at whatever board meeting generated the term, as 'iPad' is so close to 'iPod'.

Last time, I shared with you my distractions as a result of the overwhelming amount of food porn available. Food, in and of itself, should be enough to keep one occupied with thoughts of copious consumption, but there are special people out there who just have a knack to make anything appear palate worthy. The best of these folks seem to have graduated from the same school where flavours, Flunkiejunkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00093853745135036183noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478996357232871424.post-77353794679363571862010-01-13T20:02:00.001-04:002010-01-13T20:11:41.388-04:00Lusting over Food PornThere are those who like to go online and let their, ahem, fingers do some walking, clicking and a few other activities. Some purchase glossy magazines to pore over the imagery, allowing their minds to drift into unbridled fantasy. And, there's always those channels way up in the digital vacuum of television, with promises of experiences that are hot, delicious and sensuous.

This is not just the time to think about resolutions for the year, but a great time to think about the next ten. Most of my resolutions are pretty standard - health and wellness and whatnot. For this decade, I've been thinking a lot about food. Not just 'eating right', but eating whole food. I'm inspired by Michael Pollan's 'In Defense of Food', and its basic premise: Flunkiejunkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00093853745135036183noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478996357232871424.post-31711140011463389152009-12-26T14:04:00.000-04:002009-12-26T14:04:54.093-04:00The Best Terrible Kitchen Gadgets of 2009
With Christmas now a day behind us, I wish you a Happy Boxing Day. What the hell is Boxing Day? When I was small, I thought it was the 'official' day you were supposed to get rid of all the boxes that your Christmas gifts had come in. However, I now know that "the traditional recorded celebration of Boxing Day has long included giving money and other gifts to charitable institutions, the needyFlunkiejunkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00093853745135036183noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478996357232871424.post-55426061175008149102009-12-22T21:18:00.000-04:002009-12-22T21:18:04.839-04:00Chocolate Truffles Without the Kerfuffles
I have a confession to make. I am a serious chocoholic. I'm talking intervention-style serious. I know some of you are snickering, thinking about your own forays into the baker's semi-sweet blocks you hid deep in your pantry to keep them 'out of sight', but my addiction has led me to searching my floors, on my knees, late at night for rogue chocolate chips. There was also that time I dug Flunkiejunkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00093853745135036183noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478996357232871424.post-71346435249097331692009-12-19T20:25:00.000-04:002009-12-19T20:25:57.441-04:00Slap Chop Vince Needs a KnifeIf there's one thing that confounds me, it's the success of the cutting-gadget market. There are a myriad of devices for every conceivable item you need to cut - especially if you use a lot of garlic or tomatoes. Perhaps the most recognizable cutting-thingy today is the 'Slap Chop'. The Slap Chop is not a new idea - I had the same kind of food chopper about 10 years ago, only it was a Pampered Flunkiejunkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00093853745135036183noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478996357232871424.post-62966320146995099422009-12-17T20:28:00.000-04:002009-12-19T19:09:48.115-04:00You Really Can't Cook Without GroceriesThis is the first full week we have been residing in our new house. After spending the last 6 months staying with my mother, I think I have forgotten a few essentials of meal planning - such as buying enough food. I'm already missing the luxury of coming home to a home cooked meal hot on the stove, yet despite this disappointment, I am determined to get a decent supper on the go.

When we had only one, our domestic lives had evolved into a continuous game of 'steal the laptop'. I was tempted to take it with me to the bathroom, but I opted for straining my bladder instead. So, to save my kidneys, and do some actual work, I bought my own. For the most part, we do the same things on our laptops - browse email, read Reddit, Flunkiejunkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00093853745135036183noreply@blogger.com0
