It's week 12 and we're back on the cooking wagon with enthusiasm after our week long camping trip. Oh wow did we miss fresh food.
While we could have gone the cooler and ice route for to keep some of our food chilled. We decided to go for the uncooled route. That left us without the breakfast luxuries of eggs, bacon, and chilled non-dairy milks for cereal. We also chose to opt away from more difficult breakfasts like pancakes, which we could have made without eggs by using a flaxseed paste.
Since it wasn't totally clear what fresh produce we could or could not bring into Canada, I did some research to try and find a spot selling organics on our drive up to Mt. Robson. Kamloops appeared to be the biggest city we'd pass through on our way.

It's been a busy and rough two weeks, but luckily we planned a vacation at the right time! We're off to visit Jasper, Banff, and Glacier over a week long camping and hiking adventure. Wish us luck! We'll be camp cooking all of our meals and experimenting with how to do it all gluten free!
Until we get back, here are some things we made and recipes we used to get through the rough waters!
Potatoes were made into a breakfast hash.
Corn was boiled up and eaten.
Chard was sliced over rice for my hubby's dinner.
As soon as I saw this Easy Hawaiian Luau Menu in Sunset Magazine I wanted to make it, all the dishes looked delicious and would give me a bit of a challenge. If I recall correctly, that was back before I went gluten free and figured out the other food intolerances I have. But, years and several intolerances later we've finally thrown a luau and made all of the delicious items on the menu.
In additional to all the other posts I've been slacking on, updates on the garden is surely one. Apparently I missed a check up to the garden for both June and July!
Update! We've waited as long as we could and tried the pickles! The first set were very tangy, almost too tangy for us. But the second set, the one in which we used our own cucumbers and coconut vinegar is delicious! We will most definitely be using that recipe again!
