Good for The Soul Food - Experiments in my Boyfriends Kitchen.

Overdue. Here's another episode of Good for the Soul Food 

 Today's episode is brought you by the letter B for Boyfriend and his kitchen full of mustard coloured appliances. This week has brought me back to my love of cooking once again! I missed it. If cooking were a style of comedy, mine would be Improvisation, I rarely follow a recipe, and if I do it's used as a guideline, not a rule. I often add extra ingredients and more of the ingredients I love, and most often there is no recipe involved at all. This week is no exception, no recipes, just fun. Most of what I have been eating lately has been easy to make salads, veggies and meals already made at home (there is a certain amount of luxury to living temporarily with the parents, and they are so darn cute and fun to hang out with too :) love you both dearly) Random shout outs aside. I have managed to make two pretty awesome meals this week for dinner and both have been met with applause and an appreciative and happy Paul. It is nice to eat a dinner I have spent time on. PS. I have determined today that I rock the socks off being a girlfriend! I am so good at it. :) Some day I will make an even better wife. Right Paul? 

 Spaghetti Sauce - Ingredients: Tomato Sauce, Diced Tomatoes, Zucchini, Spinach, Half an Onion, Garlic Powder, Thyme, Basil, Oregano, 1/2 lb of extra lean Ground Beef and lots of Love.

Paul helped with a lot of this, he chopped the Onions and Zucchini

Spaghetti Sauce laid out on a bed of Mrs. Lepers Corn Noodles - Gluten Free! 

Chicken with a sweet sticky tomato sauce, Salsa, Ketchup, Basil, and a secret ingredient. A friend of mine gave me the recipe. 

My willing test subject Mr.Charlie Cauliflower - Soon to be Mr.Mashed Cauliflower

The Beautiful finished product! 

Baked Sticky Chicken, Grilled Veggies, and Mashed Cauliflower with a hint of Garlic. 

Ps. Mashed Cauliflower tastes amazing, and I'm told is a great alternative if you love potatoes. However.. the texture is something that is tricky to accomplish, I know I missed the ball on this one. 

My mashed cauliflower came out looking a bit like soggy laundry soap or cottage cheese.. but it tastes sooo good, so it was worth it,even Paul liked it! 

Paul's Mustard Coloured Appliances Exhibit A - The Stove, complete with three small burners and one large. This makes cooking with more than two pots or pans difficult but highly entertaining. 

Exhibit B - The Refridgerator

Very Classy and almost entirely comprised of condiments. Soon to be remedied, we are going grocery shopping this weekend :) 

Breakfast in St.Albert - Spanish Omelette and Tomatoes Yum!

Dinner made by Paul's Mom Emma,Yellow Rice, Spinach Salad with Strawberry Vinagrette and Ribs! So good! 

My lunch today - Spinach, Cranberries and Pumpkin Seeds (Forgot to bring dressing sadly) Cucumbers and Red Pepper Hummus 

Some drawings/writings I did while in St.Albert. :) 

That's all for tonight readers! More to come this week. Look for ... 

"Weekly Reflections" and updates! 

Happy Wednesday!
