...yesterday I had to brave the cold and stock up on some fresh groceries, etc so I ended up buying ground beef & making burgers & wedge fries ..the cod was still kinda frozen so I'm having that this evening

I'm going to make chicken with a side of cauliflower tonight because I'm trying to use it up before it goes bad. BTW, does anyone know why cauliflower is soooo expensive? I bought one at Loblaws and it cost $6.99 and it wasnt even organic. I haven't bought cauliflower in forever so maybe it's always been this way? Seems pretty crazy for a vegetable!!!

They are priced that way because of the lower loonie and the drought in California.

Fend for my self tonight, wife is out with friends so pizza sounds great.

And coleslaw! Forgot about the rainbow mix I bought on weekend for $1. (we had some the other night with dinner too- love it)

Honestly, I think the cheap bagged cabbage mix is making sure we get our cruciferous veggies - I sauteed some up and froze it to use in casseroles, used another for coleslaw.

Minor Ukrainian Christmas Eve supper tonight - potato and sauerkraut perogies, meatless lazy cabbage rolls, sauteed onions and mushrooms, and sole amandine for our fish dish.

Like many I'm trying to eat healthier and now more so due to the health scare/issues I'm having. Now I've always enjoyed kale but now I'm in LOVE! I've made 2 recipes the last 2 nights and I'm making it again tonight.

Here's the link to the first recipe. It is delish served cold but oh so yummy when served warm! I added kale and subbed almonds instead of pumpkin seeds since I didn't have them.

I made a similar one last night. I sautéed red onion, garlic, dried cranberries and kale with a bit of balsamic vinegar with the roasted squash and almonds. SO YUMMY!

Wow, okay, thanks for the info! I didn't know they were from Califlornia but that makes sense. Are there any other vegetables that are over-priced right now that you are aware of? I'm trying to eat more vegetables

Celery has gone up here. About $4 for a stalk. I know strawberries have been expensive - $7 to $9.

your totally right! i bought celery and it cost 3.99 and I was surprised because i am pretty sure I usually pay around $1.99. will have to rethink some of my recipes going forward!

Made homemade French Onion Soup and a side of Caeser salad with lots of bacon.
