Breakfast and Balconies

We finally had some great weather for the weekend in Calgary this past weekend perfect for a lazy breakfast on the balcony. It started with a large pot of coffee and a quick stop at the grocery store while Sara walked her dog. We made omelets Mediterranean style with red peppers, tomatoes, feta cheese, olives and fresh spinach I grew on said balcony.

Double Baked Sweet Potatoes

Baked the sweet potato then hollowed them out. Mashed them up and added loads of butter, ginger, and raisins then threw them back into the oven to let them bake for a little while longer.

Vogglio D'Pizza

Vogglio D'Pizza considers themselves the best pizza in town, they're right! We ordered a regular crust pizza with tomatoes, fresh basil, feta cheese, green and black olives. The crust was perfect the ingredients fresh and delicious, couldn't have asked for a better pie. Oh! there's mushrooms on there too.

Dinner's Ready HONEY

This is our honey inspired meal. The onions, flowered those tear jerkers and drowned them in honey and butter and baked them until yum.
The pasta is quinoa with some oyster mushrooms, honey, butter, a little moutard, and green onions, it was good, loved the pasta shape more than anything because it reminds me of speitzle.

Bubble Tea!!!

DIY bubble tea fun and cheap to make. DO IT!!!! DO IT NOW!!

Portobello Mushroom Sandwiches

These sandwiches were awesome and really easy to make. The best part I think was the pumpkin, sunflower, and flax seed medley we put on the bun. With some roasted red peppers, avocado, onion, cucumber and a paprika, sun-dried tomato mayo delicious. The side was a chick pea, yellow bean salad. Sara said the sandwich was the best thing she ever ate. The best thing I ever ate was the giant plate of brownie points I had after that one.

Long Weekend BBQ-ing

It wouldn't have been a complete long weekend with out a BBQ. Last night Sara's parents invited us over to enjoy some beef satay and ribs with them. We were lured over in the afternoon to help skewer beef but arrived to find everything was ready to go. According to Sara's mom and dad a long weekend is not only incomplete without a BBQ but also has to include some work in the garden. We were put to work planting flowers and tomatoes, I had a great time and felt good knowing that Gordon and Penny trust me in their coveted garden.
The Food and company were amazing!
