With rising prices and uncertain fresh food supply, I’ve been turning to simple meals, with easy to keep on hand ingredients. Sweet potatoes are the perfect example. Long shelf life. Very nutritious. And usually inexpensive. This easy recipe using frozen cheese tortellini pasta with a few handfuls of fresh spinach offers a delicious supper with a rather pretty presentaion.

This week I’m in plant-based heaven again.

I’m keeping it low carb and super easy again for tonight’s supper. Low carb because we’re trying to lose some winter hibernation weight. And easy because this is our first-of-the-season-dining-outdoors-meal and we’ve been trying to get on top of the gardening before being back on the water for the season. Sautéing the shrimp first in garlic imparts the best flavours to the overall dish. […]
