Picnic

Cook with kids outside

When it starts to be warm and nice outside it starts to be time for some al fresco eating. Getting ready for the BBQ season it something we are looking forward to in this house. I notice when I was in Europe it was very popular to create outdoor kitchens. It can be done very simple or you can just take the ingredients with you outside.

Fiddlehead Pizza

Have you ever eaten fiddlhttp://www.norcliff.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/34.jpgeheads before? Before I noticed them in my local store here in Toronto my first spring here in Canada, I didn't even know what they were. Since then I have had a lovely relationship with fiddleheads.

Here is a pizza recipe from my friends over at Norcliff Farms Inc. If you don't have any fiddleheads you can replace it with asparagus. Add a comment

Spring Cooking

Are you happy spring is here?  So am I, not because nice weather, but because of fresh produce.  For me asparagus and artichokes are a sign of spring, as well as kids playing with dandelions and violets. Being so lucky to live in Ontario I have been introduced to fiddleheads as well.  So this is a sure sign of spring for me too.  I'm happy to say my kales are producing and that rhubarb is growing in my small backyard.

Valentine Picnic ideas

Dress the youngster s warmly; grab the summer picnic blanket, your favorite Valentine picnic treats and head out to have an afternoon of winter fun. It is no snow at Toronto at the moment so I think it safe to say that we will be skating for our outdoor valentine picnic this year. In Toronto we have some very cool ice rinks, my favorite ice rink is Harbourfront

Have a Valentine picnic with Norwegian waffles

Once upon a time (About 6 years ago) there was a Norwegian woman and her daughter. They were all alone in a frozen empty city park. She just wanted her daughter to have other children to play with like she did when she was a kid, outside in all kinds of weather. She even resorted to bribery, enticing passing by parents and their children to stop for hot chocolate, coffee and homemade Norwegian waffles.

Winter picnics

Winter is here and most of us are spending more time inside.This winter try using food and drinks as way to get outside. It is such a simple magical thing to have a hot chocolate after a skate or a sledding trip. Use your cooking time as part of your next adventure. It can often be as important as the adventure itself.
