I found this picture of Adam on the camera when I was uploading some of our food pictures. It was so cute I had to share :)

A New Recipe

I tried out a new recipe the other day. A shrimp and corn chowder. It started with a fennel and leek base and I added some chicken stock, milk, potatoes, corn and shrimp. New recipe!

Philly Cheese Steaks!!!

My lovely mom sent us a bunch of groceries the other day - including several roasts. We wanted to try something a little different so we made Philly cheese steak sandwiches. Adam cut the roast up into really thin pieces and I fried up some mushrooms, red peppers and onions. I got fresh baguette that day so we piled the meat and toppings with a thick layer of mozzarella cheese and broiled it until the cheese melted. I don't know if would really be considered a Philly cheese steak because Adam says in Philly they use cheese whiz but this sandwich was soooooo gooooood that I don't really care.

Classic Nat

Home made chicken fingers is one of the first things I learned how to make (thanks to Liz who first taught me!). I usually make mashed potatoes with it but this time I took fingerling potatoes and cut them length-wise, tossed them in a little olive oil and baked them. They were really tasty, crispy and healthy(ish).

Omelet Time

Mmmmm...omelet. Adam made a super tasty omelet the other day with caramelized onions, ham and pepper.

Dinner at Home

It has been a busy couple of weeks over here in the Harder-Szaflarski household. Adam and I are out pretty well every weeknight and I was gone in St. Catharines over the weekend so it felt like we had not eaten a real meal at home in ages. This past Wednesday, however, Adam was on reading week so he could go to the gym early and I got home from my class earlier than usual so we ate a proper meal at home. Adam made sausage and chickpeas over top of potatoes. He also made collard greens for the first time. I tasted a little bit of the collard greens raw and did not think I would like it but, amazingly, I do like them when they are sauteed with tons of garlic, salt and, most importantly, butter.

Thank you Dalton!

Statutory Holidays are the best because Adam and I both have the day off. This Family Day we woke up late, ate pancakes for breakfast, watched the Olympics, went to Peter's, ate pizza and watched more Olympics. What more could you ask for in a Family Day?
