Kale Caesar Salad with Prosciutto

christinajbartlett — Tue, 25 Nov 2014 04:38:25 +0000

There is a salad in town with a reputation. Una Pizza & Wine is a cute gourmet pizza bar that originally created kale salad as a pizza topping before it became so sought after it turned into one of their main dishes. My coworker frequents Una to collect their Kale Caesar Salad during lunch break. […]

curried apple quinoa salad

Eighteen months ago, while flying Canadian North up to our new home in Norman Wells, I found myself holding a magazine labeled Up Here. I skimmed through it, immediately seeking (as usual) the food section. There was none. Despite some great articles and insight into the foreign land, I did find it lacking the expected […]

winter tuna pasta salad for growing muscles

christinajbartlett — Sun, 03 Mar 2013 00:41:57 +0000

I haven’t posted much recently because, to be honest, my food has not been very interesting. Sliced fruit with nuts, roasted vegetables and quinoa, breakfast oats with yogurt, protein shakes and tuna pasta salads don’t look so great on here, and I get the idea you want to see more things like red wine cupcakes […]

totally orange wild rice salad

I’ve got Halloween on the mind. Can’t help it when surrounded by Canadians planning their Halloween costumes, when my favorite blogs bombard me with Halloween themed party food like this and this, when even the local liquor store has eery creatures hanging out the windows. It’s kinda fun. I’ve never celebrated Halloween, mostly because it’s […]

end of summer corn salad

christinajbartlett — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 04:34:06 +0000

Because it’s the end of summer. Abruptly cut short by a snow storm. Fortunately the storm has passed and the sun is shining, for this afternoon at least. Perhaps winter really will be on hold for a while longer. But my garden is frost-bitten and the air is too sharp for an outdoor stroll without […]

pearl barley {easyworklunch} salad

christinajbartlett — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 04:46:29 +0000

Work lunches baffle me. A leafy salad never satiates, sandwiches mean baking fresh bread pretty much every day (there’s no buying fresh bread up here), and what the heck do you put in wraps to fill them out? While I have extensively explored all of these options for our work lunches (in particular one very […]

mt hamar & sicilian pasta

They say Norman Wells is small. I guess with a population of 900 people, and about 3 shops it is considered a little on the small side. Fortunately we don’t need more than 900 friends. Nor do we particularly like shopping. But we do like exploring – and Norman Wells is huge in that regard. […]

summer side salad with pumpkin & candied walnuts

christinajbartlett — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 05:42:16 +0000

I’ve never been much of a salad fan, nor have I put much effort into making them. But over this last year J has been creating these beautiful side salads to go with our meals and I thought, heck, if he can do it, surely I can! Although I’d never order a salad at a […]

tabbouleh {bulgur wheat & parsley}

christinajbartlett — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 00:32:51 +0000

Like many other bloggers (and foodies, and mums, and well, most people at the moment), I have been scheming Christmas dinner ideas. But with this hot weather and blazing sun, I am definitely not dreaming of potato salads or cheesy side dishes like those on the other side of the blog world. This Christmas calls […]
