Have you ever eaten edamame?

Prairie Fare: Soy and Spinach Artichoke Dip

By Julie Garden-Robinson February 19, 2016

What is that?” my husband asked. I think I detected a note of disdain in his voice. I could almost see a thought bubble above his head with, “What is she trying now?” I was putting the contents of a bag of steamed edamame in a bowl. Yes, they looked a little like fuzzy green

Prairie Fare: Raspberry Applesauce Squares

By Julie Garden-Robinson February 12, 2016

I recall a little incident that taught me a lesson a few years ago. My nose detected an unpleasant scent. My brain recognized the odour and soon my feet were running down the hall. I think I leaped over my then-three-year-old daughter on the way to the kitchen. “What smells?” my son asked as I

Eating closer to home, wiser use of food helps curb the food bill

By choosing Canadian-grown food most of the time,  we’re not as vulnerable to exchange rate increases and volatility

By Lorraine Stevenson February 5, 2016

Your grocery bills may be making you wince a little right now. The sticker shock could last awhile. The sinking loonie is expected to keep the price of food, particularly imported foods like fruits, vegetables and nuts high this year. A recent report out of University of Guelph’s Food Institute estimates the average Canadian household

Prairie Fare: Oatmeal Jam Squares

By Julie Garden-Robinson January 29, 2016

When I was young, my mom used to save the water from cooked vegetables and put it in soup. She also saved water from boiled potatoes if she was making bread the next day. The potato water contained starch to feed the yeast, so the bread turned out better with potato water, she said. We

Prairie Fare: Chicken and Biscuits Pot Pie

By Julie Garden-Robinson January 22, 2016

Mom, your feet shook!” my 12-year-old daughter said with a laugh. “What was that, anyway?” I asked groggily with wide-open eyes. She had dropped a heavy book on the wood floor near me to awaken me. The loud thump certainly worked. I’m lucky my family didn’t need a defibrillator because I nearly had a heart

Prairie Fare: Feeling chilled? Try this recipe for a tasty cup of tea

By Julie Garden-Robinson January 15, 2016

You OK?” my husband asked. I had taken a tumble on my skis and was lying in a heap on a pile of snow. My pride was injured, but I could see my feet still were attached to my body and I was able to move. Note to self: Do not try to balance on

Prairie Fare: Chicken (Or Turkey) and Cranberry Salad

By Julie Garden-Robinson December 24, 2015

Through the years, I have worked with numerous “super-fit” student interns, graduate students and program assistants. They arrive at work bright eyed and report that they ran five miles, swam laps for an hour or biked several miles earlier that morning. Some of them exercise regardless of how cold the weather is. I look at

Prairie Fare: Apple Smiles

By Julie Garden-Robinson December 18, 2015

Mom, they just played that song!” my 12-year-old said. I think she wanted us to change the radio station. “That was a different singer, though. I think everyone likes it, so they play it a lot,” I said as we listened to the radio station that plays all holiday music. Soon one of her favourites
